QUOTE(crocs @ Jan 28 2011, 01:13 PM) hi just to share my exp - phottix has a few range. for budget can get phottix tetra, i have a few, they are ok but lack on the range and compatibility so just it it for close proximity or studio is fine. dedicated transmitter and receiver. if in large venue for e..g event sometimes it doesn't trigger if a bit far. Thanks bro for the info. Btw I was looking at some phottix atlas just now in the garage sales. Looks kinda good. Just to be sure, if I wanted to use it as off camera flash, I need to buy 2 units right? Hopefully camera shops here sells them. I'm just a hobbyist so I may not do some serious strobist I think. Might wanna get the 430 to be my slave as well.I've switched to using a few phottix Atlas which is pocket wizard compatible. the range is far greater. Atlas is transceiver (same unit for xmit or xceive) http://www.lightingrumours.com/phottix-atl...zard-review-299 you an even use it as a wireless remote trigger. highly recommend it for serious strobist. cost Tetra = rm 99 or so for one set (transmitter n receiver) cost Atlas = about rm 350 for one unit cost Pocket Wizard = about rm 9xx or so for one unit So say if I wanna use 3 flashes at the same time, would I nid 3 phottix unit? Is that so? Or the 430 can just be a slave to the 580? So I oni nid 2. Is it like that? Anyways, thanks for ur replies. Really helpful |
