[MrKorean30]

hello, since you got four receiver, i just wanna ask if the package also includes foour PC sync cord (one for each)?! thank you sir.

[azskull]

compare this with the phottix, which is better or more reliable? im looking for suggestions. thanks(:

[SuperSeyoe]

The Vivitar 285hv's would work way better.

[dewatandas]

will this thing works with my nissin di622? tq

[jamiepyrite]

Could it not just be that the strobes didn't have time to charge again?

[brusel1]

I read another review, misfire problem is caused by having flash units close to each other.

[kcasperpdx]

Those're cool... Those don't work in automatic mode do they? I have some old Vivitar 283 flashes that should work well with those.

[Waynesglamgirls]

Thanks for the test. When comes to photography gear you get what you pay for. I rather save my money and get a good flash head and a power pack.

[idro2k]

Great video, You highlight one very important thing with these. Unreliable I have a similar set. Gonna have to ditch them for others! I couldn't recommend these.

[mosesport]

Yeah I've used these at well over 100 feet with no problem at all. For the price, these things are well worth it. Not built like tanks by any means, but they work well for what they are.

[daihard007]

The flashes are set on 1/64.... not full power. So you don't need to let them recycle. They can flash 64 times in less than 7 seconds.

[jonnynasz]

@daihard007 Do you make those flashes?

[papercut1987]

slow down, give flash time to recharge

[Legacylout]

lol @ the cat

[cung9193]

ive had mine for a few weeks now and they work very well in every situation that i have been in

did you factor in batteries? or even recycle times?

[Escocobar]

Just bought the exact same one on Ebay and it workd like a charm.

I am using it with my Nikon D80 and an SB 600. Works flawlessly.

THX for the vid btw!

[larresP]

@Escocobar You can directly remote your SB-600 with your D80. just set your built in flash in Commander Mode. Another advantage is that you have full i-ttl.

[tykeonthetelly]

are these compatable with jessops 360 afd flash guns?

[matthewjamesreid]

You don't specify in the vid, but if you have the flash unit on max output, it will take a few seconds to re-cycle before the lamp will flash again. You should get 10 metres out of those 'poverty' wizards. Regards, M

[naignik]

thats what happened if you buy a very cheap stuff

[daihard007]

It's better to buy RF-602... I sold these ones.

[wondnaereh]

Looks like these triggers really suck. Thank you, I almost baught them, now I will make sure to not get them.

[markedwards3]

I think he was using batteries that were nearly exhausted I have used mine over a 100yds. He also did not give the flashguns enough time to recharge on some occasions

[iamnotthatsmart]

the flashes is hardly be seen...

[namsseff]

Is this just triggered by the button or is it triggered by the camera?

[suharins]

nice!

but can i mount this on my canon 400d?

[marjoo]

absolutely

[iamnotthatsmart]

yes u can.. what flash are u using...?

these triggers have a problem with nissin flashes...

[spankrider93]

@suharins Yes

[funkyotherbrother]

cat is hilarious! Thanks for your vid going to buy these and I have the 580 ex ii and 430 ex ii so I'm hoping I get good results like you did......currently running with microsyncs but the receivers are way too expensive! Thanks again and hi to the assistant!

[firehorse74]

can i buy your wellies?

[peterk5555]

try with standing speedlights... and of the front and of the back... :)

[teundilles]

I wonder, if you put another transmitter in z shoe and set it to another channel, would you then be able to double the range?

And what would happen if you have two sets en put each transmitter on each receiver and let each transmitter control the other receiver on a different channel and than hit the test button? Infinity loop?

[daihard007]

Weird but i tested them with canon flashes, and with canon flashes they go twice as far....

[Laclaustra]

I have the Cactus V2 and made the Antenna mod. No misfires (99%) and about 100-130ft. Good video and great that you are taking the time to do this.

[daihard007]

No, i shot them at 1/64... It's not the recycle time. I tested them on my canon flashes and with the canon flashes they go twice as far. Also tried on another sb24, and with that flash it goes also twice as far as with the sb28-25

[motownkid24]

aren't you supposed to let the flashes cool down for a few seconds before triggering them again?

you're playful cat is cute btw... he wants to be your assistant.. heheh
