This is a brief excerpt from thePhoBlographer
At the beginning of the month, PocketWizard announced their new Plus X radio triggers. The transceivers, which I wrongfully believed to be a replacement to the Plus III transceivers, are actually a budget level version of the radios targeted toward a totally different crowd. Upon their release, commentors on Strobist called the company out–citing that they were late to the game and that Yongnuo and Phottix both have totally gobbled up the budget level radio users. Additionally, they claimed that the reliability of these Chinese made transmitters is equal to that of PocketWizard at a much more affordable price.
Since we’ve received the units, we’ve been testing them multiple times a day. So how do they stand up to the criticisms?Pros and Cons
Pros
- Very reliable
- Solidly built. Better built than the Plus III units, in fact.
- Simple to use
- Works with any other PocketWizard unit made so far
Cons
- $99 still gets you just one unit while competitors let you set off a flash connected to another receiver at the same price.
- No hot shoe to hold a speedlite requires you to sometimes use a PC sync cord.
