Phottix Strato II Wireless Flash Trigger Multi 5-in-1 Set for Canon - Transmitter and Receiver (PH15651)

It is small, strong, easily operated, you can use it fast because it is simply designed and it has great battery life. Unfortunately, the tech world keeps moving forward and so if you're looking for a remote trigger, you need to seriously consider Godox. However, they are much more complex and have a larger footprint because of their flexibility. However, if it were my decision to do it all over again, I would go with the Godox system if for nothing else than being able to automatically adjust the power of your remote flash units from the camera. In the Phottix units, this cannot be done, which can prove to be a major limitation. In fact, this is a deal breaker.

There is a wireless trigger available for a reasonable price. The cheap PT-80 has been my go-to power source for a few years This wireless trigger has 04 When I first started using them I was able to hit them 90% of the time when I was within 200 feet of them. Recently, they are no longer firing reliably even when I am Those two triggers and those four receivers behave in a similar manner. So, after I concluded that enough was enough, I began using the current resources this site provides to see what's out there. The Canon transmitter and two receivers were ordered as a starting point. I have tested them with two Nikon SB-150s I used 28 flashes, some Vivitar 285HV flashes, some old ATTL 430EZ flashes from Canon, and ETTL 420EX and 430EX flashes from Canon. Canon remotes were used to fire all of them. You can use the remote to let your flash go to sleep, then you can use the remote to wake it up when it's time to work again. I could only use this function on the ETTL flashes I have. The 430EZ (an old ATTL flash, not the 430EX) flash would only go to sleep after it went to sleep. For the best results, make sure that your flashes are compatible with these remotes in order to allow them to sleep and wake up. The reliability of the system so far seems to be Having the ability to use commonly-used- The AAA battery, though available, makes these units bulkier than they were designed to be. However, that is an acceptable tradeoff, as it gives much greater flexibility. Using rechargeable batteries from Sanyo which hold a charge well for several months, these work great. When it comes to the way they work, they are The TV set has four channels, so that's no big deal. This product's strongest feature is that each remote can be assigned to one of 4 groups. When you are at the transmitter, you can choose any combination of groups you want to fire. When active, you can tell which groups are being used by the subtle red light on each of the controls. As each button can be independently pressed, there is no need to cycle through 16 combinations if there were just one. A green light blinks every 5 seconds or so on each remote, so it is easy to see whether the remote has been turned on. There is no need for me to elaborate on other details that other reviewers had referred to. Let me just let you know that the remote controls work with flashes manufactured by other brands that accept a 6-pin It could be caused by any trigger signal (at least all those that I had to test with) and it is not exclusive to Canon cameras. Simply put, they will not be able to attend There are various Canon ETTL flashes that will be able to utilize this functionality. Having just ordered a couple of Nikon remotes to use with the SB-900, I was so pleased with the working method that I ordered two more *span_start>) I'm not sure if the sleep function will work, but it can be disabled by disabling it in the flash itself, as I have done with my E-PL8 pro flash for years. It is cheap to buy remote controls. Having customers who aren't so kind to Canon and aren't so comfortable is a terrible thing for Canon In many of their flash units, you can disable the feature. In the case where you are looking for an alternative to more costly solutions such as Pocket Wizard, or want to upgrade from the cheap wireless triggers, it would be wise to give these a serious look. It is possible that these will remain in my lighting kit for many years to come.

I could trigger my flash from a distance! This is my favorite trigger! The eight-hour wedding I shot last year would not have been complete without these. I've used them at several films Neither a misfire nor a dependency. My remote has an awesome range, and I love the fact that it has an off-camera hot shoe so that I can use my other cameras as well All flashes on the camera at once! Likewise, I am using remote triggers for flash photography for the very first time, and I have barely had to adjust. The batteries have been installed, your flash has been mounted and manual output level has been set. The process is so simple!.

Changed from the bulky Pocket Wizards (Transceivers II) to the Phottix Strato trigger recently. In addition to 3 transmitters (1 for each camera plus a backup), I also bought 5 receivers (1 each for my remote cameras A camera flash combination with a backup system) and I am very happy with it. Depending on your light stand, it is optional to attach your flash into the hotshoe, while the flash plus Phottix fits directly into the hot shoe on your camera (or into your hot shoe adaptor). Then you turn the small dial to lock them in place (it rotates in an opposite direction to how you'd expect, so be sure that what you're doing is secure before This item is super reliable (I have used them for 20 weddings so far without a single complaint). It uses two AAA batteries per unit. The transmitter on your camera has four channels and four numbers. In addition, you can easily turn off your camera by simply pressing one of the numbers. A simple press of the button turns on or off the flash in the camera. Set the same manual power level for the flash on the camera). That means I can remove 4 from the list The camera flashes can be placed in the corners of the ballroom with their receivers attached, and the transmitters can be easily controlled to turn the flashes on, 1, 2 and 3 by pressing the buttons. The following tip could help you Be sure to label your receivers and flashes so they can be matched. Consequently, in the event of a failure, there will be a quicker and easier way to replace them. There are one to ten labels on my flashes and receivers In order to ensure that flash 1 is always paired with receiver 1, follow these steps. Additionally, here is a tip If you are in your bag, the switch can easily be turned on and off. After I've put in new batteries (battery life is fantastic, I replace after each wedding, but they last for 6 months or more ), I simply wrapped electrical tape over the switch so that it stayed off for the duration.

The Canon 80D I own is a Canon. As much as I like the built-in flash, I did not like the tiny catchlight it created when fired even if it did not affect exposure at all. I therefore wanted a wireless trigger to use with my Neewer 400w studio strobes. A line of sight is also required to ignite the strobes built into the built-in flash. Reading the manual, setting the transmitter to Channel 1 and Group A, I attached the transmitter to my hot shoe. Once the transmitter and camera were powered on, I switched on the transmitter. In this case, I used the 3. 0 v plug to connect the receiver to the sync port on my Neewer strobe. A diameter of 5mm to a maximum of 30mm You can also set it up as Channel 1 and Group A by using the 5mm cable that came with the triggers. On the receiver, I turned on the strobe, and then I turned on the receiver. I took a picture and everything worked as it should. great, since it comes with a manual that is thorough and easy to understand. There are also three different types of cables included, four AAA batteries, and small loops that can attach to your studio strobe to attach the receiver.
