Very happy.
No problem inside a mid size church. No problem outside with a short range 18-25ft. Did not shoot any greater distance.

Purchased this for to fire our background light for our passport setup. Took out of packaging set up and test, worked fine - tossed packaging. First passport random misfires, thought it was the cord so swapped stuff around. We are using old sunpack flashes and swapped in nikon speedlights for testing ...
Finally figured out the the misfires were only happening when the flash on the camera that trigger the Wein is set to full power - when setting the flash on the camera to 1/2 power or less the Wein always flashes. I interpret this as the Wein trigger wants a shorter duration of flash to trigger - that the triggering flash set at full power is on too long at full power.
Also the way the flash fits on the Wein, it is loose and the Nikon SB900 slips off easily when locked - the SB800 is a little tighter

Studio/location flash control
This will work great for flash units that trigger directly from the cameras sync port. It won't work well along with remote Master/Slave set-up using Canon 430ex or 530ex flash units.

economical alternative
Good alternative to expensive radio slaves if you can keep the guests from using their point and shoot flashes.

The item works
I use this in conjunction with my SB600. I have my D80 fire the SB600 remotely and the wein fires when the SB600 does. I am not using the TTL option on this one though. I imagine the one FOR digital cameras would work better, however for portrait photography at my level it is no needed.

Hot Shoe Slave
Works very good with all of my flash units, old and new. Will fire with trigger voltages as low a 2v-400vdc safely. Minolta 2800AF the 2 volt unit, old Metz 202 is around 200 volt trigger.

Doesn't work with Nikon SB600
The SB600 seems to lock onto the the trigger ok but it would not trigger the SB600. I soon discovered that applying a little pressure to the flash/peanut caused it to trigger at random.
The PC sync worked just fine with another flash. The slave looks well made but the hot shoe mount contacts appear to just be printed circuit bord patches
