got this with the orlit 400. One of the most inconsistent ittl I ever used. Doesn't do pass thru for other trigger when you piggyback other trigger brand.

Very good for the price, especially at the sale price. These are handy as receivers to have to mount to extra flash units as you might have lying around and use them as background lights etc. Build quality is not amazing so I wouldn't be rough with them and the button layout is not intuitive but once you set your lights you probably won't be changing settings too much.

For some reason this trigger has always caused me issues, be it with sync or with detection. I would definitely want to upgrade to the newer trigger they have for Nikon to see if that helps. This one in particular had some issues with syncing with my Orlit Rt610. It would often disconnect and then re syncing the trigger to the moonlight would take me several attempts which is a little concerning in the middle of a shoot.

This TR612 is not just a master trigger on the camera, it also works as a remote slave. I have used it to replace all of my Yongnu 622 triggers, and now have a complete Orlite triggering system I can adjust from my phone. These 612 devices are fitted to my SB700 Nikon flashes (I also have a Shanny SN600SN, which works perfectly), If the flash is set to TTL, and the TR612 is set to slave, I can use my Orlit TR-Q6N to control the Orlit strobes, and my Nikon flashes. TTL and manual power adjust from the TR-Q6N works flawlessly, and the range is outstanding, way better than the Yongnu. Its simple, and in a pinch, if the TR-Q6N was to fail, I can swap one of these as a master and continue to work. The Bluetooth for Orlit, via the TR-Q6 is a lifesaver for quickly switching studio setups. I cannot understand why Adorama has these on clearance, but at this price they are really great. I did notice some odd behavior with some features on non Nikon flashes (Yongnu 568EX and a Meike 910), but it still worked fine for triggering and power adjust as well as TTL, but it seemed power was inconsistent. Not so with Shanny and Nikon.

I have an Orlit Rovelight RT610 TTL Monolight for my Nikon and I added these transceivers so that I can also use my Nikon speedlights as fill or accent lights. I find these transceivers to be reliable and fairly intuitive. The major drawbacks to this system are that there is no easy way to turn off a group, or at least I have not found one. I have to manually switch off lights or receivers that I do not want to fire, which detracts from the convenience of a wireless system. The other main problem is that the "manual" flash mode will only allow you to make remote adjustments to the power settings if the speedlight is in TTL mode. This results in a TTL preflash that throws off light meters. Therefore, if you want to use a light meter, you have to have the speedlight itself in manual mode, which makes it impossible to change the power setting remotely. Neither of these are fatal flaws, but it would certainly be nice if they made Orlit transceivers that would address these drawbacks. Until then, these transceivers appear to be the only game in town if you want to incorporate speedlights with your Orlit moonlight.

The transceiver for the Orlit does an adequate job, but feels cheap and looks cheap. The readout is dated. Still, it does what it needs to do.
