(More customer reviews)This past week I took on a special assignment at work were I had to shoot business-professional portraits for 120 co-workers. I am not a full-time professional, and photography is more like a passion and a serious hobby. I needed the equipment in a hurry so I ordered these PT-04 triggers from Amazon instead of from eBay where they are shipped from Hong Kong.
I used these triggers with one 580EX2 and one 430EX2, both set on manual with 580 as the main key light (M 1/8) and 430 as the hair light (M 1/16). The shutter was set at f8-9/125. For these 120 people I took about 1300 flash shots. The room used as the temporary studio was about 15x15.
Out of 1300 triggers each (so 2600 flashes), these triggers did not miss even once. They are so inexpesive that I expected them to fail at least a few times, but they were super reliable. Note that I only used it during the course of one week , but even so, for this price it exceeded my expectations.

The transmitter can be mounted either on a camera's hotshoe or connected to the camera's PC socket with the cord supplied.
