Am I the only one "put out" about no GPS in R5 or R6?

Received my GMAX-EOS2 today and cannot be happier.

Compared to Bluetooth GPS via smartphone, this receiver is way much better. It's always ready, no disconnection, no battery drainage, no case of thought-yes-actually-not. It updates the camera date and time automatically.

Only one thing to "complain" if it is. It's hotshoe mounting lever cannot be locked to the end on R5. It stops somewhere near the end and can't go father to the end to pop up the release button. Anyway, it's acceptable since it's mounted very tough.

I do not have the same lock issue with my copy. It is tight at the end but does completely lock on my R5. Just thought I would let you know.

One thing though. It can if improperly packed, turn on inside the pouch they provided if the on button is under pressure for the appropriate amount of time.

I understood what you were saying now.

Anytime the protruding power button pressed, the LCD back light turns on even the receiver is power-off.

One more thing, the light is always on when changing. It's unnecessary and I would like to say it slowdowns the charging.
