Disappointed with the reliability

Not satisfied with the reliability of this product. I bought them about 2 weeks ago and have not photographed them except for test shots. Upon receipt, I checked the device and it worked perfectly. I tried using the item again today to prepare for some photos I was supposed to take on Friday and the transmitter is not working properly. I cannot activate the flash with the camera shutter button when the transmitter is attached to my camera. There seems to be something wrong with one of the pins because it feels like I'm constantly pressing the trigger while the green light on the transmitter stays on. I think it's one of the pins because if I lift the emitter a little the green light goes out and I can trigger the flash with the shutter button on the camera. While this is an inexpensive set I would expect them to be more reliable than this one. I think there are definitely more reliable options in the same price range.

Pros
  • A dream come true
Cons
  • Not bad
