a really nice review!!!

[rickjbradbury]

@m1ch4Lko thank you

[Snakekilla12]

@rickjbradbury will the Pixel King Wireless TTL Triggers work for any canon capable flash, like the YN565 TTL flashes?

[rickjbradbury]

@Snakekilla12 I dont know as I dont own the Pixcel Kings nor a YN565.

Will this work like my ATG AK1 Un-Tethered Systems that I'm using on my ATG Canon EOS-1D X IR and Canon EOS-1D X?

Can it provides live-view & control settings wirelessly from computer like the AK1?

[rickjbradbury]

@angelisone I have no idea, never used ATG AK1 and the Canon 1DX has not even been released. Best bet will be to email the respective manufactures direct. But with the 1DX still in pre production i dooubt you will get an answer to that part of your question.

@Snakekilla12 yes for the YN565, there is another demo of the pixel kings here on youtube using both and they work well together

I bought a transmitter and two receiver kit last week and they work pretty well. I'm using them on a 5D mk. II with 580EX 2 and 430Ex 2. One thing I don't think you mentioned was the flash ratio's are not adjustable in ETTL. No biggie since they are when you're in manual mode.

Occasionally the flashes won't fire after I make adjustments in the camera's menu. I may getting interference from something in my house. Firmware in all units is up to date.

Anyways...thanks for the great review !

Confused here...the website states that:

Pixel King does not support Canon Wireless function (External flash function setting);

I thought you did exactly this during this video?

[nwickliff81]

Thanks so much for the review! I shoot all manual and decided to give 580exII master infrared a try. Line of site really is a deal breaker if your covering an event and moving around a lot! Being able to change the power output on the fly really would be great. Only thing there is going through the camera menu can be a bit tedious, almost be able to walk to flashes by that point! Are you still shooting manual?

just bought my own, very good price quality.

This system does not work with Sony a77! For one the units themselves wont properly function on the camera and even if they fix them to work you cannot use wireless flashes in manual on this camera body. What a POS.
