Comments about Flashpoint Flashpoint 4 Channel, Radio Remote Control Set, with Transmitter & Receiver with Shoes, Range of 65':
It DOES occasionally fire randomly, but when you tell it to fire it really does fire. It's outdoor performance is really good since i can take it outdoors and not worry about other radio signals triggering my flashes.
However its light weight and small base make it an issue if you don't have a tripod working with it especially for the higher end flashes.

For the money, it works great. No problems with not firing when needed. Works great with SB600.

Unreliable: Test button works 9/10, camera triggers flash 2/10.Incompatible: Does not work with SKU: FPRRR. Cannot work with Flashpoint 4ch radio receivers designed for Monolights.

Totally unusable! First day misfire, after misfire, after misfire! 65' HA! More like 24' or LESS! Batteries die very fast (with Lithium batteries!) Will not go through objects, especially people! Sensor very sensitive to touch, if I'm touching it it will not fire!

I've used these on different camera bodies and they fire reasonably reliably. When used with speedlites, you may have to use the test button to "wake them up" following longer delays. Although the manual claims faster flash sync speeds, they will not sync at shutter speeds of 250 or higher. Below 250, all is well.

Comments about Flashpoint Flashpoint 4 Channel, Radio Remote Control Set, with Transmitter & Receiver with Shoes, Range of 65':
I have been using this set for a year now. I use it mostly for family/friend portraits. It triggers my SB-26 / SB-800. It does misfire about once every 40 shots or so. I don't require a long range for triggering. Have used it to trigger flashes from about 50' with good success. Don't use rechargeable batteries! Wish it came with a pc to pc cord instead of the pc to 3.5mm plug

Have not had it long but works great so far... Only problem that I have had is that it does not work when I have my glasses on (not a big deal because i like to take them off when i shoot anyway). i guess the metal in my glasses disrupts the signal or something...

Easy to setup and use. 1st day it worked fine. 2nd day it worked for 30 mins. By the time I got my setup ready at home with the lights etc, it started behaving wierd. If I press the test button on top it works fine but when I hit the shutter button, it fires at times and at times just refuses to fire. Got sick of it. I am going to exchange this piece. Either pick up an expensive piece or go Wired.

These work great with my studio strobes and speedlights. Good range. No misfires so far!
On the flimsy side but can't beat the price!

This is a very good product for the money. I use it mainly for portraits & macro work. Easy to use & consistent. Good starting set-up for off-camera flash. Great for those of us who can't justify the $$$ for PW's!

So far this radio system has worked as expected. It is actually around the same price range as the cheap[...] radio slaves, but so far works more reliably than the one I had bought off of [...]. If you don't mind giving up TTL, or have difficult situations, these work well.

Does not miss at all. I set up transmitter on a hot shoe(Speedotron) slave and fire with camera's built in flash @ 1/32 power. Receivers on two remote strobes work flawlessly. At less than $20 each, extra receivers make possibilities endless and inexpensive. Can be connected many different ways. This particular set is very well thought out. Made in China, but Pocket Wizards probably are too.

I just wanted a product to learn how to shoot flash off camera, and this little trigger suites me fine. I only use it in my makeshift studio in the basement, so I can't really comment on the range, but I don't have any misfire or no fire issues. It fires my little Pentax flashes every time with no issue. For around [$] you can't really beat it.

i learned the hard way that when you buy the cheapest alternative sometimes you get a dud. my unit misfires constantly for no discernable reason. i had another photographer try it out who reported the same results. you may luck out and get a good one or you could get a dud like mine. pay your nickel and take your chances.

Comments about Flashpoint Flashpoint 4 Channel, Radio Remote Control Set, with Transmitter & Receiver with Shoes, Range of 65':
This trigger set is amazing. Very easy to use. Just set the channel and pop, it works. Tested distance and these are good until atleast 100ft. I use this on my Flashpoint II 620A. I also use this on my SB600 speedlight to optically trigger the 620A and SB900. It works because it eliminates the pre-flash so all the lights fire exactly at the same time. I need to buy another receiver for the 620a so I can fire it when doing events where there are other flashes being used. These work just as good as triggers 5X the price.
