Wireless Flash Transmitter (radio)

Hey guys

Imported this from the USA a few weeks ago to save some money on postage (as my friend was buying some for himself at the same time), but have realised that I need the cash and I don't actually have a flash yet (i can still use it in the studio but its not really that necessary)

here it is:

Transmitter:

Plugs into your hotshoe on your camera, or with one of the leads lower down plugs into a standard flash sync socket


Receiver:

has a jack plug on the end which is the standard connector for most studio flashes. includes the adaptor shown below to change it into a mini jack. this may even work to use as a wireless remote for any canon that uses this connector for their remotes, but i have no way of telling as my 20D doesnt. Also has a second connector which is a standard pc sync port, includes lead below to turn it into a mini jack. This enables it to control 2 flashes. Requires 2x AA batteries




All described above.....a jack to minijack adaptor, and a pc sync to mini jack lead


if your flashgun does not have a jack or mini jack socket, this goes onto the bottom of the flash and you plug the minijack connector into the side of it: Also has a standard tripod mount underneath so you can hold the flash up without a special stand





All are brand new and boxed, fired around 5 times to test that it all worked, which it does very well. It didn't come with a users manual but its all self explanatory. Set 2 switches on the side to the same on the transmitter and the reciever (setting them on the same channel) and plug them in. There is a test button on top of the transmitter to make sure its all working. Once thats done its all go

The four channel means if you ever happen to end up in the same location as someone else using the same thing, you can just switch channel and its all good.

I'm asking £65 inc postage for this, but feel free to make me an offer I can't resist

tom [at] twilight-photography.co.uk with any questions

Thanks

Tom

[EDIT] Someone asked "doesn't the Canon 550ex 580ex and 420ex already do this?"....the answer is no, they require a direct line of site where these do not, they act via radio. If you're shooting somewhere and a person walks between you and the flash, the built in infra red firing will fail.....with this, the flash will still fire. Very similar in performance to the £300 pocket wizard systems that many pros use, but so much cheaper
