Wireless Flash Trigger For Canon Sigma Pentax Olympus Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Hi, sorry for any English mistake. I have a Canon Rebel T2i / 550D and i liked this flash trigger. It does what I expected. I could suggest some improvements, like an easier to remove cover. Its really difficult to change the bigger case batteries. Another very good idea could be an extra socket over the transmitter, so we could use 2 flashes, one over the camera and another one remote. Ok, I could use the canon 580ex II flash unit to do this, but its much more expensive for a hobbyist like me. I have a speedlite 430ex II. I am quite sure I can buy 2 (or more) of these flash triggers and use 2 flashes remotely. What this evaluated product gives me is the opportunity to change the light perspective over the scene. It is also not full compatible with the camera/flash set. Its perfectly justifiable, as the product is generic. What happens is that you have to set the flash options manually, but its ok. Probably a specific and full compatible product would cost much more. I am totally satisfied.

Flashpoint Q Series 6" Beauty Dish Reflector for "A" Size for Shoe Mounted Flashes Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have never been happy with the flash portraits on my old Pentax K10D,
until now. I have never understood why the large studio beauty dish
reflectors cost so much. I have used numerous types of diffusers,
bounced the flash of the ceiling etc. and this product is the only
thing I have been happy with for close up indoor shots of people or portraits.
I don't know why it works or how and don't care. I have not used it much
so cannot justify five stars, but I am happy with the few photos I have taken.
I would recommend anyone to give it a try and I guess the could return it
if they are not happy. The only problem is that I am now considering the expensive beauty dish reflectors on my two studio lights. It seems to me that anyone that
is serious about flash photography of people needs to take a look at beauty dishes.

It redirects the bounced, rectangular output of a standard shoe flash into a more diffused, flattering pattern of light. Light emitted using the Beauty Dish Reflector is soft and shadowless. Just like the name implies the result is similar to using a studio beauty dish reflector.The Beauty Dish is secured to the flash with a velcro strap.Available in "A" and "B" series.

Eye-Fi 2GB Share SD Wireless Flash Memory Card EYE-FI-2GB-B Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)To preface this with my background, I am a techie. I have graduated college with a degree in computer engineering, so I have a certain aptitude for technology and computers.
With that said, I bought this card so that I would never have to respond again to my mother's question "Can you show me just ONE MORE TIME how to put the pictures on the computer?" She does NOT have a great technical aptitude.
So, I ordered this for my mother for mother's day. She has recently become a grandma and wants to take pictures of my nephew, her grandson, and share them with the family. I opted for the Share version of the Eye Fi, so she could upload to Kodak Gallery without any trouble.
In my experience this product works like a charm. I had to set it up for my mother, obviously, but it was relatively painless. One quick tip for setup: SUPPOSEDLY the Eye Fi cards do NOT WORK WITH WPA-AES. They may require your wireless network setting to be set to TKIP instead. I did this in advance because I read it somewhere, but I didn't find this information on the Eye Fi website, so I cannot verify it at this time. After registering the card with the supplied software, which admittedly took 2 or 3 [very quick] tries, and setting up for my now WPA-TKIP network, and our Kodak Gallery settings, we tested it out. Using my mother's camera, we took a few photos within the house. Within moments, because we were in the wireless network range, the photo appeared in the corner of our computer screen. We checked the folder it was supposed to be placed into, and it was there. I logged into Kodak Gallery, and the photo was there. The names need to be changed, if you wish them to be more descriptive, but I didn't find them to be a problem (folders/names based on date, time, etc.)
We tried this on about 5 photos, and each one offered the same positive results. At this point, my mother has taken at least 100 or so photos with the camera, inside and outside the range of the wireless network. She turns it on when she brings it home, and so far it has been near flawless. She has informed me that one or two photos did NOT get transferred--I haven't determined what the cause was for this, due to a lack of supervision during the process--it's simple enough that I didn't feel it to be necessary.
Regardless, with the exception of those one or two photos that were missed, the card has been perfect. I honestly think that, for the convenience that this brings to her (and the sanity it maintains for me, being "the computer guy" for the family) it is worth the one or two missed photos. At this point, I've told her "just take extra pictures" until I figure it out. If/when I figure it out, I'll post an update. But it hasn't happened again since those couple of photos, which were a while ago, so I don't see this as a recurring problem. Given all of that, I would have to say this is a great product, which offers incredible convenience for the price.

4-Channel Wireless Radio / Slave / Strobe Trigger Solution Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)For those who are new to this product and looking at it in wonder as to how to replace the battery. The answer is simple, as well as comical. Before you go prying it open (as I attempted to do and got a good pinch for my troubles), or just tossing it in the trash ... try scrapping the "QC" label off. You will find a tiny phillips-head screw that will allow you to easily open the transmitter and gain access to the battery and save your fingers from a crab-like pinch.

Nissin ND622MKII-C Speedlite Di 622 Mark II Flash System for Canon (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Full review with photos can be read here: [...]
The Nissin Di622 Mark II flash is a well-built flash with very good light output and recycling time. The price is cheap compared to OEM and other 3rd party offering sans China branded units and the wealth of off-camera triggering modes make this one of the most flexible flash system you can buy if you like off-camera lighting.
While Canon and Nikon units will offer more wireless TTL control when used off-camera (such as multi-channel grouping and power adjustments), they do cost twice as much, if not more. You'll have a hard time finding a Nikon/Canon flash in the used market that can match the price of a brand new Nissin Di622 Mark II, not to mention most low/mid-end flashes do not offer sync ports and optical slave triggering as well.
Apart from the nearly-useless AF-assist light, the Nissin Di622 Mark II is an excellent flash unit for first-time flash buyers as it allows you to keep using the flash as your skills improve. When you've moved past using the flash on-camera, the off-camera modes allow this flash to exist in your camera bag until it finally breaks down.
The main point is, the Nissin Di622 Mark II is a good buy because it does what all basic flashes can do (manual power, variable sync triggering options) but still offer modern flexibility such as ignoring pre-flash slave modes and wireless TTL modes.

Elinchrom EL 19357 Skyport Universal Speed Flash Trigger Set (Replaces EL 19360) (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This new system is wonderful and even better than its predecessor. I never used the PWs before but I can tell you that this product gets the job done. I ran a few test: the first one I placed the flash in my backyard and fired from my bedroom, doors closed, with no problem. The second test: still outdoor i probably went about 350-400 feet down the street, the flash fired. I also tried to fire the flash from behind a fence at about 300 feet and It worked!. The range on these things is pretty powerful. Both transmitter and receiver are lightweight and well made. The antenna is a little flimsy but they do come with their own case, so they will not get damaged. Buttons are easily accessible except for the channel switches. They are really tiny and you might need a pin to move them (I actually manage to do it with my fingernails). Inside the box you will find receiver, transmitter and various sync chords. Please note that if you are planning to put them to work right away (with your SB-900 or SB-600), you will need an extra PC-sync to mini-jack cable, and for the sb-600 a hotshoe adapter. The other positive thing is that the AC adapter comes with 3 different sockets....the american, the european, and I believe the last one is for the UK. If you travel a lot, like I do, this is a nice add-on. Battery included as well for the transmitter (the receiver has a rechargeable battery in it).
PROS
Lightweight
Cheaper than PWs
lots of accessories/cables included
easy to set up
sync up to 1/250 (tried with D700)
universal (works for both Canon and Nikon)
CONS
flimsy antenna
PWs have more range (but are you really gonna use your flash from 4 blocks away?)
the cable you might need the most is not included

This system comes with a transmitter and receiver and is the perfect choice for studio and location work alike.

The new case design helps eliminate accidentally turning the unit on and the LED indicator lights show if the unit is on, or needs recharging. Offering 4 workgroups with eight channels each helps eliminate interference and offers flexibility. Larger group sliders are easier to operate while a thumb wheel locks the unit securely to the top of your camera. Additionally the transmitter\'s hot shoe adds an extra contact bar to help eliminate misfires. New design of the battery drawer ensures that the battery will always go in the correct direction. This unit offers a 20% increase in shooting distance from the original Skyport units. A high sync speed is capable with this offering speeds of up to 1/280. Auto shut off helps preserve power when not in use. The Skyport Universal Speed Receiver is compatible with Elinchrom and any other studio and battery flash brands. The new ergonomic design and larger sliders make this unit easy to set and use. Skyport Universal Receiver\'s internal, rechargeable Li-Ion battery provides approximately 30 hours of operation. To maximize battery life, the Auto-Standby function activates if the unit is not used. Technical specifications: Shooting distance indoors 198ft, outdoors 474ft. approximate. This replaces the Elinchrom EL 19360.

Yongnuo YN-467 Flash Speedlite Dedicated E-TTL for Canon DSLR Cameras Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I initially got this to use as an off-camera flash to hang as a hairlight off a boom. It has an optical flash trigger but I was going to rig it with a Cyber Sync receiver, and have it fire at the same time with two Alien Bees. When I received the package, I had expected a very cheap build and some really inferior material. In fact, I was a bit disturbed when I heard rattling from within the unit but it turned out to be the silica packet in the battery compartment. I never expected it to use as an on-camera flash as I never dreamed of replacing my 430EX II with it, but since I had nothing better to do, I decided to try it out with my T2i. Well, even more of a surprise is that it actually works quite well with my T2i. The camera immediately recognizes it and sets the max sync speed, I can even control exposure compensation from within the camera. My opinion is that the flash is somewhat weaker than the 430EX but it illuminates everything that is needed. I really liked the built in diffuser panel which actually gives the shot a nicer (more realistic) color/white balance. I've always just used any on-camera flash as a bounce flash indoors and this YN-467 certainly performs the same function as my 430EX. As for longevity and quality, I've only used it for two days and it readily recycles within 1-2 secs on rechargeable batteries.
I'm looking forward to use it as a hairlight, and unless it breaks down with such a light workload on 1/2 power, I think this unit deserves 5 stars!
BTW, I was apprehensive on how the hot shoe would mount on the camera, but the tightener and the metal shoe definitely can latch onto the T2i. No fears there.

Digital Survival Kit - Sensor Swab Type 3 w/ Eclipse Cleaner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When the Arctic Butterfly couldn't get all the particles off my sensor...the Digital Survival Kit finished the job nicely.
I shoot a lot of pictures outdoors and need to change lenses in those conditions. My experience has been no matter how careful I am (ie: walking back to my truck from the beach to change lenses due to high wind and/or heavy fog, using a rain poncho to mask weather conditions, or holding the camera body above when changing lenses) some form of debris has still found it's way onto my sensor.
My Arctic Butterfly 724 has worked great just about every time. It's those situations when pesky leftovers are still showing up in test pictures.
The first time that happened I contemplated my options and proceeded on taking my camera in for professional cleaning. While I do recommend a professional cleaning, that's not always an option if you're already out taking pictures and are far away from a camera repair shop.
This led me to looking for a way to fix the problem when out in the field.
I did some research which led me to trying out the Eclipse cleaning solution on my Canon 5D Mark II. So far I have had no problems. I used the company's website to find the size of swab and version of cleaner I would need for my sensor and it worked great.
I give this product 5 stars because it saved me it a tight spot when getting my camera cleaned professionally was not an option.

Brand New Gemini Vhf-2001hl Dual Wireless Vhf Headset or Lavaliere Microphone System with (2) Mics + (2) Body Pack Transmitters + Wireless Receiver Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the fourth Gemini dual wireless mike system I've had in the past ten years. It works well in a large meeting room. It gets packed up and moved on at least a weekly basis. In each case, after 2 or 3 years, one of the channels has stopped working. Not sure whether it's the transmitter or the receiver that fails. As far as I can tell, you can't by component parts separately. But the overall price is low enough that it's not bad enough to replace the whole system from time to time.

YN CTR-301 Hot Shoe Flash Light control Remote Trigger w/ PC Cable Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been using the CTR-301P radio triggers for about a year now and absolutely love them. If you're trying to take your Speedlight flash off the camera, it's one of the most convenient methods (ETTL cables are limited in length and quite pricey, PC Sync cables are also limited in length and a bit of a hassle to manage), the CTR-301P allows you to trigger your speedlights remotely without any cables. An important thing to note, for anyone unaware, is that when using the wireless sync on these you will not have ETTL ("Automatic") flash control - you'll need to manually set the power levels on all of your flashes. Newer (and much more expensive) radio triggers such as the PocketWizard MiniTT1 Radio Transmitter for Canon TTL Flashes and Digital SLR Cameras will carry the ETTL signal to your remote (ettl compatible) flashes, but those cost about 10x the price per receiver.
The CTR-301Ps have 2 modes: Wireless and Light. Wireless lets you put the receiver on your cameras hotshoe and trigger the flash wirelessly as the shutter is pressed. Light allows you to use another light source (on camera flash, for instance) to trigger the remote flash. An important note about the "Light" mode is that ETTL signals can prematurely set off the remote flash (ETTL uses a series of flash pulses really quickly which can throw it off). If using light mode, make sure the on-camera-flash is set to manual to prevent the ETTL flashes.
If using a speedlight, slide the hotshoe connector into the top of the receiver. If using studio-strobes, the package comes with a PC-Sync cable that connects from the receiver to your strobe.
Underneath the receiver and transmitter are 2 switches - these allow you to change the "channel" that the wireless signal uses. This is mainly useful if 2 people are using the same triggers, to prevent one person from setting yours off (or vice versa). Different combinations of these switches allow for 4 possible channels.
Range from the 301Ps is nice - I've never gone more than 20 feet, but they've always triggered for me. They're supposed to go 30 Meters (about 90 feet), but I haven't tried this -- obstacles in the way (such as walls) will also shorten the reach.
The bottom of the Receiver has a female tripod-threading. This allows you to easily attach it to a lightstand or tripod and mount it almost anywhere.
Unfortunately, the CTR-301P uses odd batteries. No AA or AAA here, you'll need to find CR2 batteries. I found some cheap at a "going out of business sale", but otherwise they can be a bit costly and you'll probably want spaces so you're never out shooting and the batteries die on you. I can say that the battery life is very good on these - just make sure to turn the receiver from Light or Wireless to "Off" when done.
On top of the transmitter is a test button - press this and it will send a signal out to all receivers on that channel and set the flashes off.
That's about it for these receivers - they're simple, to the point, and do a great job. There are higher-end ones out there - if you need more reliability/reach (and as a bonus, the ability to wirelessly release your cameras shutter), take a look at the Yongnuo RF-602 system. It costs a bit more, but is a newer/more advanced technology. If you want to go the next step, that would be the Pocket Wizards, but at close to 200 dollars a piece (per transmitter/receiver) its a VERY expensive system.
The CTR-301Ps do a great job if you just need a quick and easy way to get your flash off the camera and to a remote location. I highly recommend these!

Flashpoint 4 Channel, A/C Radio Remote Control Set, with Transmitter and Receiver, Range of 90'. Plugs into the A/C Cord of the Monolight. Review

Average Reviews:

(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

Digital Transmitter and Receiver Kit with Mono Plug Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My status: Professional amateur.
My equipment, Canon EOS 1D IIN, 2 580EXs, & the microsync system. I purchased a mono female 1/4 plug from radio shack(3.99)and I spliced it to a mono plug (or whatever port your flash has) that plugs directly into my flashes. Works flawlessly. Successfully fired strobes from at least 90 feet...For my purposes (portrait, wedding photography) this is more than adequate...Love the size of the transmitter, looks very professional on my setup. The recievers are a little bigger than expected(pocket wizard sized), but who cares they will be tethered to my flash lightstands. So far no trouble with the "occassional misfires" I have read on the web. Would reccommend to anyone wanting to take their photography to the next level....

The MicroSync Digital is the smallest smartest wireless solution for firing strobes and cameras.The Freedom of Wireles:Whether your'e shooting in the studio or on location, firing your strobes with a sync cord can be impractical, inconvenient, and sometimes even impossible. Not ant more! The MicroSync Digital wireless strobe sync system allows you to fire strobes wirelessly. So liberate yourself from the limitations of your sync cord.Ultra Small, Light and Convenient:The MicroSync Digital is revolutionary because it is super minature, extremely lightweight, and almost operates itself. Just place the transmitter in the hotshoe of your camera, plug the receiver into your strobe's powerpack and fire! Its that easy.Automatic Power Management:The MicroSync Digital has a unique automatic on/off power management system. There are no on/off switches on the transmitter or the receiver. When you press the shutter the transmitter turns itself on, sends the signal to the receiver, then turns itself off- all in milliseconds. Because of this advanced power management system, the battery life of the coin cell in the transmitter is anticipated to be 3 years.Four Channels:There are four channels on the MicroSync Digital to allow you to shoot without interference from other MicroSync users in close proximity.

(More customer reviews)Easy setup and inexpensive. Misses fires at times. It's good for the price but not up to par with more expensive wireless rigs.

This wireless trigger provides an efficient and low-cost radio remote system option for cameras to trigger a flash unit synchronously. It allows the user to place the flash at different angles and distances from the object being photographed making it a very useful and flexible tool for portrait and product photography. In addition, 4 channel DIP selection allows the capability to work in a multi-studio environment.The wireless trigger kit consists of a signal transmitter which slides onto the camera's accessory shoe; and a receiver which can be attached to any portable flash unit with a hot-shoe style base or via a PC sync cable. The receiver receives a radio signal which is emitted from the transmitter when the shutter is pressed. This signal allows the receiver to trigger off the external flash unit. Each receiver works with a single flash unit.
