Great concept. That does not work.

This flash and transmitter is a great idea for the money but the remote just didn't work. No games could get the flash to respond to the transmitter. First, there were no instructions in the box. And then it took too long to track down the manuals. There should have been at least one QR code on the packaging or on the Blitz itself! And when you finally find guides online, they're not that great anymore. They use a number of vague terms and in some cases even describe the keys with names that aren't in the manual. I had to double check to make sure I had the correct manuals! After figuring out all the controls and settings despite the manuals, I finally came to the conclusion that the two devices just couldn't communicate. I even went so far as to take apart the radio spectrum analyzer (RF Explorer) to find that the transmitter just wasn't transmitting. But since the transmitter is only about ten dollars less, I can't get too excited. I just want it to work as advertised.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Big and bulky
