There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Where this setup falls short are the ability to use eTTL/iTTL, recycle time, and number of steps to setup. However, all of these things can be mitigated to some extent. For example, if you are only using one or two modifiers (soft boxes for example) , setup time isn't that different, and many of us are familiar with full manual control for lighting, anyway. Some prefer it. Recycle time can be reduced by using external battery packs.
I know not all of this relates to the trigger itself, but I wanted to share a little of the thought process I went through when considering heads versus speedlights. The speedlight option is very flexible, and I can work around the power limitations pretty well.
So, on to the trigger. It's very simple and has everything you need for manual control over up to six groups. That's more than most people will ever need, but it's great to have as an option. Group assignment and selection is pretty easy once you've done it the first time, and you can keep track of your lighting ratios by glancing at the back of the LCD - something you can't do easily with some other non-display systems.
I was surprised to see how useful the zoom control is when working at distances. I sometimes mount flashes to my backdrop's cross bar, and using a combination of zoom and power lets me gain some measure of control over spill and distribution without having to resort to snoots. It's of course not perfect, but for firing at 30'-50', you can get a measurable change in edge falloff. Sweet.
Finally, the form factor is large enough to be easily handled, but doesn't get too obtrusive. Any smaller and it might be difficult to work with, but I can appreciate smaller, side-mounted triggers.
One thing I wish it had built in was a remote shutter receiver. Right now, you have to hang another unit from your camera body, but if you could just drop a cord from this unit to your remote release port, that would be seriously handy.
I've not used this unit extensively, but it seems reasonably well built, and so far has not failed at distances of up to 25m (75'). At this price, just get it and a couple of 560 iii flashes if for nothing else than having a portable lighting solution.
One last thing as far as pairing this unit up with your flashes it can be a little confusing so I will break it down for you in a few easy steps. 1: Turn both the TX control unit and flash units on.
2: on the TX control unit hold down the zoom/ch and Hz/Fn at the same time. The screen will display A C T or something to that nature and the flash unit will have a blue light.
3: on the flash unit press the OK button located in between the up, down, left, right buttons making sure the light remains blue. Hold down the GRP and CH button at the same time( that's the 2nd and third button on top). Your group icon will start flashing on the LCD screen of the flash unit. Designate the desired group to that flash by pressing the up or down button on the flash and accept by pressing the OK button in the center of the up, down, left, right, buttons. (Step 3 deals only with the flash unit and not the TX control unit).
That's it. It should now be paired.

Lo probé con un flash de la misma marca en una cámara Nikon D5200, no me dió ningún problema y fue tan sencillo de usar como simplemente ponerlo en la cámara y poner el flash en el modo correcto y en menos de 5 min ya estaba sacando fotos.
Muy buena calidad y buena vida de baterías, no he tenido ningún contratiempo, y la pantalla iluminada es bastante útil, en mi opinión de las mejores opciones en equipo económico.
Best part about buying this set up is that there are many online resources to help you. I'll admit that I didn't read the instructions that came with the unit and simply went online and watched user video reviews.
Funciona muy bien!
