Quite disappointing. Quality nothing like the original ones.

We've used one of the original Microsynch sets for close to 20 years to trigger a Novatron system of similar vintage and they never missed a beat. The receiver finally came apart from old age (something I'm trying not to do quite yet myself) and I found the supposedly new and improved model 2. I ended up ordering two sets because they are now one fifth of what I paid for the originals and it looks like the company is out of business, so I thought it would be good to have a backup. Long story cut short, they worked fine the first day or two, but then started misfiring repeatedly. Tried the second set that I got for backups, and they did the same. Switched out transmitters and receivers, tried triggering from another camera, and they were consistently unreliable. Sad, indeed, because we got almost two decades of perfect service from the originals.

GREAT FLASH SYNCH AT A VERY AFFORDABLE PRICE

I have been using these for years and I have found them to be extremely reliable and if the flash falls over and the product breaks, you just buy another one...They are almost disposible !!!

MicroSync VM2 Specifications

About MicroSync VM2

The MicroSync II VM2R Wireless Receiver is part of a super lightweight radio system with a tiny form factor which can easily be your solution to a tangle of PC cords in the studio or on location.

The receiver (when used with optional VM2T transmitter) is capable of firing your strobe from a distance of 200'. Just slip the tiny transmitter (purchased separately) on your camera and plug the receiver into your flash with one of the 4 provided plug adapters: 1.4" mono plug, 3.5 mm mono plug, two-prong plug or shoe mount. Select a channel (there are 16) and you're ready to shoot. Forget about on/off switches; there aren't any.

This smart system goes on instantly the second you hit the shutter release and automatically shuts down when not in use, dramatically extending battery life. The receiver's 2-AA batteries last a year. The system, which operates on 433MHz, has a maximum focal plane flash sync of 1/200 sec (depending on the camera in use) and a maximum leaf shutter sync speed of 1/350 sec.

Besides flash, the MicroSync II can also fire most DSLR cameras which have an electronic shutter release input. Just purchase the optional, dedicated camera cord and a VM2T transmitter. It's great for wildlife or surveillance.
