(More customer reviews)I have been using this device for about a year now and am amazed at how well it works. When you are working with Flashpoint monolights, it is about as simple to set up as you can imagine. Simply plug the AC plug on the unit into the back of the flash, the 1/4" plug into the flash trigger, plug the power cord into the bottom of the unit, mount the transmitter on your hot shoe and you are shooting wirelessly! No more dragging PC cables around to trip over, no more wondering if your PC plugs are making a good enough contact to fire... just point and shoot.
I have not had an assignment yet where I was out of range... I have used it at weddings (pre-light the ceremony and fire wirelessly from anywhere you can see the bride and groom), product shots, portraits and even outdoors with power inverters running the lights.
My only complaint was that it did not work with the economy lights that Flashpoint sells. They have a built in AC cord and it can't plug directly into the flash unit. I was able to build an adapter that I velcro onto the light stand that lets me use it with the smaller lights, however. Flashpoint did provide the stepdown adapter for the 1/8" flash sync plug used on the smaller lights as part of the remote control kit.
Great unit. I plan to buy a couple more as back up units.

Designed to simultaneously trigger monolights or strobes wirelessly. There are four channels so each channel can avoid interference from others working the same job. It will also keep others at the event from firing your lights with their point and shoot cameras. Because of its low power consumption the transmitter can be fired 20,000 times on a single 3 volt, #BYUL23A battery. There is only 0.01mA of current so it may be safely used with all digital and film cameras
