Check out PHOTTIX ODIN TTL FLASH TRIGGER

[steeletraining]

@devonmale69 - I have a review of the Phottix Odin on my blog. Best trigger I've ever used.

[zygotepeyote]

Update....I had been using my flextt5's with my 580exii's and the soft shield. One of my 580's stopped functioning in ettl mode and in manual mode only fired at full power. After some research I found out I wasn't alone. Sent my 3 flexxtt5's back to pocketwizard and they sent me 4 plusii's plus cables and are paying for my flash to be sent to canon for 120.00 at no charge to me. You can take from this what you will.....they did make it right with me. Thanks!

[steeletraining]

@zygotepeyote - Thanks tons for this update!

[ptlofts]

the Catus brand seems to be a good choice. What do you think?

[steeletraining]

@ptlofts - I've been very satisfied with my Cactus triggers. Highly recommended. However, my current favorite in the low-budget triggers is the Yongnuo RF-602. See my video review of that product for details.

@steeletraining

Hi, I'm new to photography and this might be a dumb question, but could you please tell me what the differences are between a wired and a wireless flash trigger????

And what would you be preferred more than the other?

And should I get both wired and wireless? or just one of them???

Thank you in advance!

Thanks for taking the time to give your rating on the wireless transmitters. If you do an update of this video, please include your rating on the new Pocket Wizard III

[4EVERMYSERENITY]

great tutorial, and can I say you look like a younger Bruce Jenner

[kbb6w4]

are they now separating the pocketwizard Control TL's into Nikon and Canon systems in order to take care of the problem between the Control TL's and the Canon flashes?

[lycos12]

What do you think of Pixel King?

[nigel1346]

Hi Phil ,have you reviewed the yongnuo S2 E2 transmitter

[javierlocutor]

@steeletraining Is good to know that and your word is trustworthy but, arent they a little pricey? (Phottix Odin)

Thanks for all your videos, you are a really nice guide to refer to.

[djshadowpain]

@devonmale69 it costs a bomb but gotta say, the central remote is pretty darn sweet, if i am a full time pro.

[bblove302]

@steeletraining is it expensive?
