Wireless Flash Trigger - PT04tm

yamcake · 18th May 2008

Intending to get this wireless flash trigger from tago-store..

any like user feedback?

gotta a qn to ask though, can i just get 1 set of transmitter and receiver and on my receiver end, i set the 580ex to be the master flash, again triggering another 420ex slave flash?
will the timming be sync-ed?

if not, will getting the original canon speedlite ST-E2 solve my problems?

How does the ST-E2 compare from this models apart from the price?

Lastly, if not, enlighten me on other popular choices on wireless flash triggers..

Thanks alot..

don't think you can radio trigger the 580EX to trigger another 420EX.. cos the Canon wireless flash system works on E-TTL, ie you need some sort of info relay between the flash and the cam..

yup, the ST-E2 would trigger both wirelessly.. but the disadvantage is that you have limited positions cos you need some line-of-sight to trigger.. on the other hand you get E-TTL and High-Speed sync..

or you can get other radio triggers such as Pocket Wizards, Skyports etc..
