Pros: Small, light and inexpensive.

Cons: No hotshoe connection.

Best Uses: Syncing multiple flash units.

Describe Yourself: Professional Photographer

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Decided to give these a try last year, originally bought a transmitter and two receivers. They worked so well I now have a total of 6 receivers. Other than having some sync cord go bad, they've worked first time every time on both studio and portable flash units. I have used up to 5 flash units at the same time.

Pros: WORKS, simple, good choice of connections, and of course, CHEAP!!

Cons: Build quality feels cheap, may require some setup tweaking with some adaptors for various flashes w/ no inputs,
Limited working distance (still great though!)

Best Uses: Budget-minded photographers who need, know or would like to experiment with lighting using a wireless manual setup.

I researched many affordable kits available on the market and settled on Alzo Digital's wireless solution. Does it offer the quality and advanced circuitry of the top tier radio slave systems? No. However, does it enable the user to have wireless manual control over an unlimited amount of lighting units in a 60ft. range? Absolutely. Simply looking at the cost-benefit, Alzo's device offers operation up to a safe 60' range (or sometimes more) with various input configurations (pc, miniphone, 1/4" phone) for a mere fraction of what a high end brand name system would cost. The savings of, for instance, having a 3 or 4 receiver-transmitter setup is just amazing for a budget-minded consumer - all while delivering great performance that "just works" within the advertised limits. If you're looking for a radio trigger solution for your flashes or strobes that offers simple setup and basic configuration, and one that actually WORKS - Alzo Digital's wireless flash trigger kit is a GREAT choice. While the product is great, the customer service exceeded my expectations. It is personalized and a representative works with you through any question or problems you may have. There is good communication and effort to help the customer. I would recommend this product to other like-minded consumers.

Pros: economical

I have been using this for several month and can say that I have not had any problems with this kit. I am planning to buy an additional kit to expand my capabilities.

Pros: Inexpensive and small

Cons: No Lanyard on Tx

Best Uses: Portable studio

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

When I started going pro I needed a remote flash trigger to eliminate the dangling PC sync cords. Also, I needed to trigger up to 3 studio strobes simultaneously which is hard with regular cables. I got two ALZO Tx/Rx kits and an extra Rx and have been very happy with the results. It triggers reliably, is nice and compact is simple to hook up.
I'm familiar with the Pocket Wizard products and have used them a lot at the studio I rent. The ALZO devices may not be as sophisticated as PW units, but they perform all the important functions at a tiny fraction of the cost.
The only change I would suggest would be to add a small lanyard of some kind to the Tx unit so I can hang it on a light stand when it's not on the camera.
I've had no bad experiences with them during the two months I've been using them, and I've carried them to many location shoots.
I'd recommend these units without hesitation. Great product!

Pros: comes with adapter plugs to fit any set up

The Wireless Flash Trigger kit - 4 Channel has been a wonderful addition to my studio equipment. Works every time and I have yet to replace the batteries in it. I went through a couple of wireless flash triggers before I found this one and I'm sticking with it!

Pros: great value for the price

Cons: could have better shielding

Best Uses: great for portrait photographs

Excellent value for the price. I have used them successfully, and they really work!! You just set the toggle switches and plug them in. The only issue may be how well they are shielded. I was shooting portraits in a home, and they just started to go off due to RF interference. However, that was only once, and I've used them in homes, schools, hotels and other places without any problems.

They are said to have a more limited range than the more expensive systems. However, I have not had a problem, and long range is not generally my application. Again, a great value for the price.

Pros: Small and compact and best of all, affordable

Cons: None Observed

Best Uses: I use mine in a home studio

I love my Wireless Trigger. It is small, easy to use and has not failed to trigger my strobes even once. I belong to two camera clubs, and I have shown my trigger to some of the members and even used it to photograph some of them. They were impressed. Easily worth five stars.

Pros: It's wireless and very easy to use. Great price.

Cons:

I am SO glad I found this thing. All I needed was something to trigger my flash without interfering with it and this wireless kit does just that! The price was great too!!

Pros: light weight, decent range, easy on batteries

Cons: the 1/" to 1/8" is strange and for me causes the only misfires

Best Uses:

I have used the ALZO 4 channel wireless triggers for approximately 3 months (triggering Alien Bee mono blocks). The triggers have worked well almost 99% of the time. The times when they did not fire properly, is when there is not a good connection between the 1/4" to 1/8" plug or the 1/8" plug into the strobe.

I recommend these triggers to anyone who asks.

Best Uses: With strobes

I picked up this set about a year or so ago. I love it, works great everywhere I've used it. I mostly use it in a smaller studio space but I've taken it on location as well, and never had a problem. My only complaint is that when I needed two additional receivers, the new models were not compatible, and that was not conveyed to me at the time of purchase. So yes they are great, but verify they are compatible if you need additional components!

Pros: Let you be free of cords

Cons: Nothing so far

Best Uses: Weddings
