Pixel 3rd Generation Wireless TTL Flash Trigger King Pro for Nikon

I just got these so, can't say anything about longevity but I have shot these and they work great, easy to setup and control, it took me 10 minutes to set them up (I have two sets so I use one of the triggers as a slave), they are well made. I have shot some test with these and they work as advertised and for the price can't beat it. I will get recommend these to anyone and will buy more in the future. I use these with my Nikon D600, sb-700, metz 50 af-1 and metz 58 af-2.I will post again after few months and give some updates but so far a love these and I finally have triggers that work great and I can control my flashes from far away without assistants or walking few miles every shoot, and I can concentrate on the shoot and not on the triggers or lights. :D

I was really excited to get these, but I'm glad I only purchased this pair, and not the extra 2 receivers I wanted.The units seem to work as advertised, when used with my SB700. I tried it with my Metz 44, and the exposure seemed very dark. I upgraded the firmware (the firmware installed indicated 2009, but I don't believe these have been around that long) and it still seemed to be overly dark.My biggest disappoint was to find that my Yongnuo 565EX isn't compatible. When mounted, the 565EX will just constantly fire ever few seconds. This is a shame because the 565 has been pretty nice and works with TTL on camera and off with CLS.A little more research shows that there other flashes that won't work with this unit. So it sort of contradicts itself. It's a bargain-price device that only seems to work well with premium-priced OEM equipment. The fault may lie with the Younguo, but I think that the Pixel King should be the one to make sure it all works.Another thing I noticed is that in manual power settings, the light coming out of the flash was typically stronger than when it was triggered manually. This really doesn't present a problem, as I normally go off what I see in the screen and the histogram.With those negatives mentioned, I will say that with the SB700 the TTL worked very nicely. I just don't want to go out and purchase 2 additional SB700s to replace my Metz and Yonguo 565EX.At this moment, I can get CLS working with all flashes, and I can get my old manual triggers working (and adjust power manually), but I just can't get this thing to work with all my lights just the way I want.I'm afraid I'm just disappointed in these units, as you probably will be also unless you have OEM speedlights.UPDATE: I returned these units and purchased Yongnuo YN-622N triggers. They were something like $40 cheaper and unlike these units worked fine with every flash I owned. Whatever you buy, insure compatibility with your flashes first. The YN-622N doesn't have an LCD display, but control was surprisingly simple. Still, I added a Debao SU-800 to the YN-622N and now have a user-friendly interface to the control compensation levels, as well as a simple setup for Nikons CLS if desired.

Not certain about these yet, but I think I'll love 'em. I'm only hesitant because the one time I used them I tried TTL and got the occasional shot with light too hot. This was an outdoor "environment portrait" shoot of high school baseball players using fill flash to get light under their cap bills. Four shots out of sixty had the flash too bright. Since I prefer setting such shots manually, this should not be a problem. Further, when I've controlled multiple flashes manually things work just fine. I'll work with these a little more before forming any final position on them. It seems to me that there is so much capability in these triggers that it will take some time to thoroughly check 'em out. I'm moving up from a Pixel King transmitter and am using a mix of King and King Pro receivers. With a straight King setup I had very few problems and great high speed sync capabilities. I'm betting the same will be true of the King Pro but with significantly added capabilities. I think I like 'em.

These triggers have a great feature set but they are extremely unreliable. I'm a wedding photographer and I need my flashes to fire consistently. I had these triggers for canon and they were randomly not fire, some times just a remote flash wouldn't fire, some times my on camera flash would not fire, some times both. Some times they wouldn't fire for multiple frames and then randomly start working again.I switched to nikon cameras recently I bought these triggers again, because the features/price cannot be beaten. However, no surprise, they are equally unreliable on my nikon cameras. Same exact problems. Random no fires, except with the nikon ones there is a new problem- the sync is often off. Even under x-sync shutter speeds, I'm getting the black bar from flash being out of sync every few frames. This is happening with strobes, AND with hotshoe flashes. I may have to return these and get a different, more reliable system.Pixel: please fix your products. They have great potential but they are way too full of bugs right now.NOTE: this is based on use with the new nikon D750. I am assuming that the sync issue is due to the fact that it's a new camera model and pixel needs to update the firmware for it to work properly. This is the same case with pocketwizards at the moment. The random no fires however, are not camera specific, as that was an issue I had with all my canon cameras and these triggers as well.

Great triggers. I used these professionally for years without any problems.

Funcionamiento perfecto, había leído en otros comentarios que el flash que es posible montar en la zapata del emisor (en la propia cámar) sólo funcionaría en modo manual, pero yo lo he utilizado en modo I-TTL, los dos. De hecho he solicitado ya un segundo receptor.

Fonctionne parfaitement en mode manuel pour régler à la fois la puissance et le zoom des différents flashs déportés mais le mode TTL n'est pas vraiment utilisable car le système réagit comme si il y avait un flash sur le boitier et tient principalement en compte la distance de mise au point reportée par l'objectif, donc il y a sur-exposition si le flash est plus près du sujet que l'objectif et sous-expositon dans le cas contraire. Idem avec une boîte à lumière, ne semble pas prendre en compte assez la mesure TTL par le capteur RGB mais plus la distance, donc sous-exposition due à la perte avec la boîte. Firmware V104.

Système d'émetteur récepteur complet et performant.Fonctionnalités appréciées : réglage de la puissance et du zoom à distance !Revers de la médaille : programmation un peu complexe, il m'a fallu coller des aides-mémoires sur l'émetteur (cela permet de se rappeler les réglages principaux).

Nunca pensé que fuesen tan bien, totalmente compatible con nikon y de muy fácil configuración. Las instrucciones no vienen en español, pero el manejo es muy intuitivo.
