Well yesterday I finally managed to sit down and have a play with the flash triggers I brought a while ago (see here). They are such a simple design that it was a simple case of attaching them to the respective flash and camera and I was ready to go. Whilst they are pretty simple to use, which personally I think is a major plus point, the only issue I have is the placement with the power switch. Once I had mounted both my Canon 430EX and 430 EXII, the power switch became in-accessible. I guess you could argue that this stops it from accidently becoming switched off, but personally I’d prefer to be able to quickly walk over and flick the switch rather than having to take the flash off. However, to be completely honest this is the only fault I have with them, and it is really a minor issue.
The only other thing that I realised whilst playing with these triggers and my flash guns, is that I don’t have any real way to control the light from them, due to the lack of light modifiers that can be attached to them. So I guess I’m going to have to spend the next couple of days looking into materials to make snoots, grid spots, and gobos for my flash guns.
