Lightweight

Hobbyist/Enthusiast

Bottom Line:

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Unit wouldn't work right out of the package. Figured the battery was the problem. Opened the back only to discover that you have to remove the top circuit board to access the battery. Flat, hearing aid type. Two wires were completely disconnected from the board and another popped off while I had the unit open. Cheap construction.

Easy to set up. Two switches - On/Off and Preflash/Normal. A couple of times I had to loosen and retighten the flash in the hot-shoe to get it to work. Would like for it to be slightly more sensitive for use in daylight with fill flash.

Very good and sensitive trigger.

Syncs with my Oly c2100 UZ and my Nikon D200. Has switch for digital or film. While both cams are digital the Nikon works on film. Bracket uses flash shoe or 1/4 x 20 male or female. On off switch marked with tiny symbols hard to see.
