This extensive comparison guide video by photographer Tony Northrup takes a look at 4 different flash triggering units. If you are using flashes or monolights for your studio work you would probably want to use some sort of a remote trigger.
The 4 units Northrup looks at on the video are (keep in mind that the price Northrup mentioned in the video are for triggering 3 flashes – the units below are the basic kits):
- Yongnuo YN-622N YN 622 Wireless I TTL ITTL HSS 1/8000S Flash Trigger (for Canon / Nikon – $85 on Amazon).
- Phottix Odin TTL Flash Trigger/Receiver Kit (for Canon / Nikon – $300/$330 on Amazon).
- Cyber Commander trigger – from Buff (starting from $180 for the transmitter alone).
- PocketWizard FlexTT5 Transceiver / Transmitter – you will need both transmitter and transceiver to work (for Canon / Nikon – the Transmitter will go for $194 and transmitter for $174)
