P DUBS FTW May 20 08 06:49 pm Link So one just goes on ebay to find them? the PC cord for one of my strobes (Starflash) went bad, and the dealer himself told me to consider a wireless setup May 20 08 07:29 pm Link Connor Photography wrote: PW fanboy checks in. May 20 08 07:41 pm Link They're wonderful! Not sure what happened to my first 2, but they crapped out at the same time, now on my second set...

You must get the receiver that matches your transmitter. That said, Gadget Infinity sells several types of "poverty wizard" sets and receivers. Check their website. The may have what you need.

The only problem I ever had with them is when I am in front of the light where BD is used. I guess metal do black the signal. Other than that, they work great. May 20 08 09:18 pm Link http://gadgetinfinity.com/product.php?p … at=0&page= $32 for the trigger+receiver set addtl receivers for $20 you can get them from http://mpex.com too. May 20 08 09:22 pm Link I just got the Cactus V2 set from Gadget Infinity. They are low priced and work great with my Sunpak 383 Super. I have a no name set from Ebay for my studio lights and after two years they are still working fine. Thinking back to the days of sync cords these are a great deal. Nothing more frustrating than a sync cord going bad during a shoot. May 21 08 01:16 am Link Got one for a friend in NYC for her Speedotron 812. It started free running and flashing the unit continuously. Think the transmitter was too close to the reciever. Put the reciever on an extension cord and moved it further away. Since her budget allowed it she went to PW's and retired the china outfit. I'll have to pick it up the next time I get there. Mine works fine if I change batteries when it starts to misfire. May 21 08 01:40 am Link I have been using PW's and although they work great, the $400 price tag hurts. May 21 08 01:55 am Link I need a cheap wireless trigger, but hate mailorder. Anyone know of any instore in the SF Bay area? May 21 08 01:57 am Link Not sure if mine is the exact same...but I have a cheap one like it...my second one...can't beat it for the money....and it works as good as a more expensive one a friend has... GAWD! I love wireless! May 21 08 02:00 am Link I just got mine in the mail and used it for the first time on my new avatar and a few others.... Quickly becomming one of my favorite toys..... May 21 08 02:01 am Link I'm very happy with my Calumet Litelink system. Each component converts between transceiver/receiver with the slide of a button. I'm planning to add on one or two more. May 21 08 04:17 am Link I recommend anyone buying these buy at least 2 sets. If one piece craps out, you still have a backup. Any replacement you buy may not be in the same frequency. May 21 08 04:22 am Link Any particular brand of inexpensive hotshoe adaptor that someone has used and like? I have a XSI that does not have the sync port. The cheapos work fine on my D300 however. May 26 08 11:48 pm Link my cheapy's work perfectly every time! May 26 08 11:53 pm Link |
