The Pixek rook wireless flash trigger

[mike55]

Hi

I just want to ask if anyone use the Pixel Rook flash trigger on the Nikon cameras and flash and tell me what they think.
I have found that the wireless can give TTL through the camera and flash with iTTL so the camera and flash ( eg SB 900) goes auto and manual.
It can send signal wirelessly from the camera to the flash from the Pixel Rook Device.

Thanks for your help

Mike

Had not heard of these Mike, may have to look into them myself. I had some PW TT5 and TT1's not work on me yesterday and I was disappointed. Ended up going to a direct cable from flash to camera to keep the TTL. I'm not a big fan of commander mode as it fires intermittently depending on what side of the flash you are working on.
I just looked at the link on them and they seem to be okay to try out.

I'm not a big fan of AAA batteries as AA are what one can find easily.
1/250th max is decent, but tough in bright light.
