Pros: Works wellhas good rangereliablecheaplow pricethe transmitter can lock onto your cameras hot-shoethe bottom hot-shoe on the receiver is metal
Cons: build quality could be better,its good but sometimes I just don't really trust my flash on it when I have the whole thing on a tripod or light stand...doesn't come with a sync cord
Other Thoughts: have to remember to turn off the flashes auto-off function or else I have to turn it off and on every few minutes.Wished they had just the receiver on sale.I've been able to sync it up to speeds of 250 of a second
Bottomline: Great reliable product and works really well, gives you a lot more possibilities and flexibility with a off-camera flash
Pros: Unit is compact and well constructed.Simply attached it and turned it on and all was well - too easy!Great range (for those who have said otherwise, the ranges often discussed are more than would be usable for the flash units anyhow).Speed is also good with no noticable delays.
Cons: Outer casing could perhaps be a bit more durable, although if you treat it with the same care as any other photographic equipment it will be fine.
Other Thoughts:
Bottomline: Great unit overall - would happily recommend.
Pros: Quick and easy to use, however it's taken me over a week to get it to work with my Sigma due to a unintuitive setting on the flash. http://flashzebra.com/tips/supersigmamanualmode/index.shtml saved my bacon as I would never have figured it out myself.
Cons: No sync cord (which you do get with sku 13089) and the problem mentioned above with regards to the Sigma flash.
Other Thoughts: Batteries included which is a nice touch as the YoungNuo version doesn't have.
Bottomline: A great buy but pity we cannot buy receivers on their own but guess I have a spare transmitter. Pair this up with the umbrella & flash bracket kit.
Pros: CheapSimpleGood range, goes through walls/doors. Doesnt need a direct line of sight.Does what is it supposed to do right out of the box.
Cons: Perhaps the build quality of it, but even here I don't find so much to complain about really. For this price the build quality is decent. It doesn't feel very fragile but it could be better.
Other Thoughts: I'm surprised over how well it works. It was delivered in a small white box, no batteries included, but then it was as simple as fastening the transmitter on the camera and the reciever on the flash and you are all set.
Bottomline: As stated, I've tried this on a Canon 580EX II and it worked perfectly. It even syncs with my 5 fps limit on my Canon 30D. If you are looking for a good flash trigger but don't want to spend alot of money, this is what you are looking for.
