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.

Excellent, my first time using it and I don't have the words to describe it, never miss a shoot.

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!

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.

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.

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.

The Bowens Transceiver Pulsar Radio Slave Trigger is a multifunctional device, which can be used to trigger flash units, film and digital cameras and light meters up to 100m. Because it uses radio transmission, rather than IR, it allows triggering around corners, through walls and is not affected by high ambient light situations.
Choose from four individual channel and six studio selectors, each providing a unique ID for a different flash device or combine them to trigger all equipment within a given setup or studio. Pulsar also features a hot-shoe mount, sync in and sync out terminals, a ready indicator, a test button and an external power option.
Because of its low-voltage operation, it is perfect for digital cameras. Each unit can be used as either a transmitter or receiver and is powered by just two AAA batteries. Whether you are triggering flash heads for complicated lighting setups or cameras for remote control nature shots or applying a special effect, this system is for you.
Each Pulsar unit can be either a transmitter or receiver and is capable of sending or receiving signals beyond 100m (333'). The Pulsar has four separate channels, enabling the photographer to isolate up to four light sources or to combine them and fire all of them at once without leaving the camera.
Additionally, the Pulsar has a studio selector switch, which provides isolation from other Pulsar units using the same channel, and allowing up to six different systems to operate independently in the same space or studio.
