Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This new system is wonderful and even better than its predecessor. I never used the PWs before but I can tell you that this product gets the job done. I ran a few test: the first one I placed the flash in my backyard and fired from my bedroom, doors closed, with no problem. The second test: still outdoor i probably went about 350-400 feet down the street, the flash fired. I also tried to fire the flash from behind a fence at about 300 feet and It worked!. The range on these things is pretty powerful. Both transmitter and receiver are lightweight and well made. The antenna is a little flimsy but they do come with their own case, so they will not get damaged. Buttons are easily accessible except for the channel switches. They are really tiny and you might need a pin to move them (I actually manage to do it with my fingernails). Inside the box you will find receiver, transmitter and various sync chords. Please note that if you are planning to put them to work right away (with your SB-900 or SB-600), you will need an extra PC-sync to mini-jack cable, and for the sb-600 a hotshoe adapter. The other positive thing is that the AC adapter comes with 3 different sockets....the american, the european, and I believe the last one is for the UK. If you travel a lot, like I do, this is a nice add-on. Battery included as well for the transmitter (the receiver has a rechargeable battery in it).
