Comments about Bowens Bowens Multi-functional Transceiver Pulsar Radio Slave Trigger Twin Pack, for Cameras, Flashes and Light Meters:

Straight forward and easy to use.

Just set the slide switch to transmit or to receive and the units are ready to work.

I haven't had a misfire that wasn't caused by not turning the unit on or not plugging a cable in. Cant say enough on how enjoyable and reliable they are to use.

Comments about Bowens Bowens Multi-functional Transceiver Pulsar Radio Slave Trigger Twin Pack, for Cameras, Flashes and Light Meters:

I used to be wired to the studio 'box', now I use monolights with these transmitters - it's unbelievable freedom. I also attach these to portable flash units for outdoor flash fill. They are extremely reliable, triggering flashes long distances, behind walls, just as advertised. No more wires, no more slaves! I initially bought the pair, then bought another for a second strobe. Love them!

Comments about Bowens Bowens Multi-functional Transceiver Pulsar Radio Slave Trigger Twin Pack, for Cameras, Flashes and Light Meters:

Nice compact units. Sufficient range. Like to see how this unit would function with a swivel antenna to get it out of the way. A little sensitive to touch (may be due to dry air), and fires intermittently without shutter being engaged. Overall, well worth the investment.

Comments about Bowens Bowens Multi-functional Transceiver Pulsar Radio Slave Trigger Twin Pack, for Cameras, Flashes and Light Meters:

These work great and are cheaper than Pocket Wizards. I have used both side by side and they really have the same rang. I have used them 300' away and fired every time.

I really like the way they are set up because they are easier to test when something is going wrong. They also seem a little less buggy to me than the Pocket Wizards. I love them, I bought 5 of them and haven't had any problems.

I also really like the way they mount. It seems like it puts them are same angle as the transmitter so that they can work more efficiently. It also makes them easier to adjust to them off the ground.

Plus it has been really sweet for cords because they just use the PC connection, so you don't have to buy some lame expensive cord for you slave. You can use your 30' cord that you already have to put them were you want them.

Comments about Bowens Bowens Multi-functional Transceiver Pulsar Radio Slave Trigger Twin Pack, for Cameras, Flashes and Light Meters:

I use the Bowens triggers constantly. I photograph many large groups. Relatives and friends always try to sneak their own picture. Their flashes have tripped off my monolights constantly, sometimes blowing a fuse. Then, I have to be "unpleasant". Now, the radio triggers allow me be polite. The Bowens radio units work well and consistently. I used to use only infrared triggers, but these work better. They feel light and possibly fragile, but they take the abuse and keep on working. I recommend them completely. Good investment.
