Did anyone test them?
looks exactly like what I was looking for (probably not the only one): reliable and efficient (unlike the previous ones), and still as cheap! |

I have one transmitter and 2 receivers. On the first shoot I used them for I used them indoors. I had one hooked to my 580 exII and the other hooked to one of my two strobes. I believe I had 1 maybe 2 misfires the entire day. The reason I am not sure is that one of the misfires I believe was actually that the 580 was not recharged. I shot over 200 images. I haven't had an outside shoot yet to gauge effectiveness outside, but indoors they worked great. For what I am looking to do, they are exactly what I wanted and needed. Yes someday I would love to go the Cyber Commander route and have a fully adjustable system on each and every strobe, but for right now I need a cheap way to shoot without wires. This does that for me with what I would consider to be excellent consistency for that money paid.

Got them last week and did a photo session this week-end. They are great for the price. They still feel somewhat cheap (light plastic...), but two great improvements vs before: 30m+ range (I checked) and high reliability. I had 2 misfires in 200 shots (as I was firing 2 flashes, that's 2/400 or 99.5% reliability). They also have a cool design that looks much better.
By the way if you come across the youtube video that shows a guy trying to fire 4 receivers and which shows that most the time they do not all fire, I was not able to do the same. I put my 4 receivers side by side the same way and they all fired all the time. They guy might have had a bad batch or depleted batteries.
For the low price it's unbeatable! |
