Questions & Answers

KATRINE C : Will this work on a Sony a6000? I don't need TTL.SOLOMON B : I don't use the Sony a6000 but if it has a hot shoe and you set the camera shutter speed below the sync max speed it should work. You may have to put the setting on the body in flash mode and see what the sync shutter speed is for that camera. Thats a great price at 29.00 what ever. I paid around $100.00 for mine. Hope this helps.
Shopper : will this work on a panasonic zs40?WILLIAM P : as long as it has a normal hotshoe it should. Keep in mind that the max sync speed with this is 200 I believe.SOLOMON B : I have the Micro Sync, and it is nice, works great. Micro Sync-will not work on the zs40-since there is no hot shoe on your camera------.Model Number: ZS40 .... External Flash Connection: n/a.
BOB H : HOW DO THE DOUBLE A BATTERIES GO IN ?DANIEL K : It's tricky! You have to slide the bottom part of the metal cover (like by Nokia phones). (If I remember it well.)KENNETH S : On the side with 5 slots, press down and slide down.CRAIG D : The silver housing with the five lines slides to the oposite end(towards the plug) from the antena. It's very stiff but does give way. Two AA batteries needed. CraigRANDY E : The AA batteries go in the receiver unit only. It is about 50% longer than the batteries and one of the silver sides slides off to change batteries. The Transmitter unit that fits on your camera has its own replaceable battery, however, I have two transmitters that are at least 4 years old and I have never replaced the transmitter batteries. The newer models with the selectable channel are also compatible with the older units that did not have the digital readout. Old and New models come on on Channel One

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.

One of the best investment you can make

I have been using MicroSyncs for years. Since I always shoot with both eyes open, the MicroSyncs are small enough to not block my vision. One of the best investment you can make.

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 transmitter & Receiver Kit

I've been using the original MicroSync wireless transmitter/receivers since 2003 in both studio & location shoots. They've never failed, even once. I bought this Kit recently at an even more special price from Adorama. This generation is compatible with previous versions and it fit right in with my existing modules. Size and range are my two favorite qualities of these units.

Works great!

I work as a fashion photographer. I use this product at least a few times a week in my personal studio. I never have any problems with it. It works just great for what I need.

Does'nt live up to the first Microsync

I bought the microsyncVM2TR a few week back after having used the original microsync and losing it somehow The original fired the flash every time, the new VM2TR misfires almost as bad as a used sync cord. The 16 channel do not work at all it will only function on channel 1, the manual is extremely weak and the tranmitter looks rather cheaply built compared to the original unit My advice is to save up a few more dollars and buy one of the more expensive better units. Or see if you can finf the original microsync new or used I really wish I had not misplaced mine

I liked this unit so much I purchased a second kit.

The MicroSync II VM2TR Wireless Transmitter/Receiver Kit is a super lightweight 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 kit includes both a transmitter and receiver capable of firing your strobe from distance of 200'. Just slip the tiny transmitter on your camera and plug the receiver into your flash with one of the 4 provided plug adapters. 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 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 add the optional, dedicated camera cord. It's great for wildlife or surveillance.
