Two receivers, and it releases the shutter too

JJC One transmitter, two receivers, Nikon release cable

A 36 € set that fires flashes and releases the shutter, with two receivers, both cables and the batteries in the box — and a compatibility list that reaches back to the F5.

JJC One transmitter, two receivers, Nikon release cable

A 36 € set that fires flashes and releases the shutter, with two receivers, both cables and the batteries in the box — and a compatibility list that reaches back to the F5.

Radio system named
None. Five bullets describe the contents, the compatible cameras, the compatible flashes, the dual function and the specifications, and no radio system or frequency appears. What the page does instead is name the hardware it works with on both sides, which is a different kind of assurance — concrete about the present, silent about what could be added later
Camera mounts supported
Nikon, named exhaustively in the second bullet — Z9, D500, D4S, D5, D810, D850, D800, D700, D300s, D300, D200, D100, D4, D3S, D3, D3X, D2H, D1H, D2Xs, D2x, D1X, D1, F100, F90x, F90, F6, F5 — plus Fujifilm FinePix S3 Pro and S5 Pro and the Kodak DCS-14n. A list that includes film bodies is unusual and tells you what the release cable fits
Channel and group counts
16 adjustable radio channels, in the fifth bullet, with no groups published. The same position as most of this shelf: enough channels to stay clear of interference, no means of controlling lights separately
Remote power control
None. The set fires flashes and releases shutters, and nothing on the page describes changing a flash’s power from the transmitter
Metering and sync modes claimed
Sync to 1/250 s, in the fifth bullet, and no metering or high-speed sync. The fourth bullet claims something else worth having: it can fire speedlights and studio flashes at once, and supports several flashes firing together
Power source
Supplied — a 23A cell and an AAA alkaline cell are in the box list, which is the only page on this shelf to include batteries at all. It does not say which unit takes which, and the counts for a three-piece set are not broken down

EAN
6971448872662
  • Two receivers in the box, so two lights are covered by one purchase
  • It doubles as a camera remote release, with the Nikon shutter cable supplied
  • No system and no frequency named anywhere

Best for: A Nikon photographer lighting a still life or a portrait with two manual heads, who also wants a wireless shutter release from the same box.

On the listing

Five bullets. A box list naming one transmitter, two receivers, a Nikon shutter cable, a studio light cable, a 3.5 to 6.3 mm adapter, a 23A cell and an AAA alkaline cell; a Nikon compatibility list from the Z9, D500 and D850 through to the F100, F90, F6 and F5, plus Fujifilm FinePix S3 Pro and S5 Pro and the Kodak DCS-14n; a list of flashes the receivers suit, naming Canon 600EX, 580EX II, 430EX II and others and Nikon SB-910, SB-900, SB-800 and SB-600 along with Olympus, Pentax, Sigma and Metz units; a statement that it is both a wireless remote release and a multifunction flash trigger able to fire speedlights and studio flashes synchronously, supporting several flashes at once; and sync to 1/250 s with 16 adjustable channels and a range up to 30 m.

Two receivers, and both cables

The box list is the argument. One transmitter, two receivers, a shutter cable, a studio cable, a jack adapter and two batteries. Every other set on this shelf ships one receiver, and two of them ship no batteries at all.

A trigger that also releases the shutter

The fourth bullet describes one radio doing two jobs: firing flashes, or firing the camera through the supplied cable. For long exposures, for self-portraits, or for keeping hands off a tripod, the second job is worth as much as the first.

From the Z 9 to the F5

A compatibility list spanning digital and film, which is possible because the Nikon release socket changed so little. It is a sign of a long-lived design, and it means an older body is not shut out.

Sixteen channels, no groups, no power control

The limits are the same as most of this shelf. Two receivers can be fired; they cannot be turned up and down separately from the camera. For manual heads set once and left, that is no loss at all.

Availability

About 36 € on the German, French, Italian and Spanish Amazon stores when this page was last checked.

The British Amazon store carry it too, priced in local currency. Those amounts are deliberately absent from the range above, which reads euro stores only.

Nothing came back from the American Amazon store at all, so the button for that country runs a search instead of opening an entry that is not there.

Everything in this section is the figure Keepa carried on the day of the last update to this page. Availability and prices shift without notice.

More flash triggers

  • Andoer WanSen AC-04 flash trigger set with transmitter, receiver and sync cable

    Andoer WanSen AC-04, 4 channels, 30 m

    The cheapest trigger here at 17 €, with four channels, a 1/250 s sync claim and a cable for cameras with no hot shoe — and no system, no groups and no stated power source.

    Radio system named
    None. Five bullets describe a set, a sync speed, a fit, a cable and a range, and no radio system and no frequency appears — less even than the 433 MHz stated by the trigger above it. What arrives in the box works together, and the page gives no basis for saying what else ever will
    Camera mounts supported
    Canon, Nikon and Sony reflex bodies with a single-point hot shoe, in the third bullet. Single-point means the central firing contact only, so nothing is passed but the signal to fire — and the fourth bullet adds a connecting cable for cameras and transmitters, so a body without a usable shoe can still trigger the set
    Channel and group counts
    Four channels, in the first bullet, and no groups. It is the smallest channel count on this shelf — the trigger beside it offers sixteen — and four is enough to avoid a clash in a quiet room and not in a busy hall
    Remote power control
    None. Nothing on the page describes adjusting a light from the transmitter
    Metering and sync modes claimed
    A highest sync speed of 1/250 second, in the second bullet, and nothing else: no metering, no high-speed sync, no named modes. For a manual studio set that is the honest minimum, and the figure is above the sync speed of many bodies
    Power source
    Not published on the listing. Neither the transmitter nor the receiver has a cell type or count named, which on a two-piece radio set is a real omission — the trigger above it at least states two AAA cells for its receiver

    • Seventeen euros, the cheapest way to get a manual flash off the camera on this shelf
    • A connecting cable supplied, so a camera without a usable hot shoe can still fire the set
    • No system and not even a frequency named, so nothing can be said about future compatibility

    Best for: Getting one manual studio head off the camera for the least money, on a reflex body with an ordinary hot shoe.

  • Godox X5F flash trigger in black, a small hot shoe unit with a locking ring

    Godox X5F for Fujifilm, Godox 2.4G X system

    A 20 € transmitter that belongs to a named system — Godox 2.4G X — fires the maker’s studio heads by name, and has no power switch and no channel count.

    Radio system named
    The Godox 2.4G X system, named in the title and the third bullet, which then lists what it reaches: the AD100Pro II, AD200Pro II, AD600Pro II, AD600BM II, iT30Pro, V100, V480 and the Lux Master models. This is exactly what the hub above asks for — a system named on the box, with the lights that speak it enumerated, so the consequences of the purchase are visible before it is made
    Camera mounts supported
    Fujifilm, named in the title and listed body by body in the second bullet: X-Pro2, X-T20, X-T2, X-T1, GFX50s, GFX50R, X-T30, X-T4, X-T3, X-S20, X-T5, X-Pro1, X-T10, X-E1, X-A3, X100F and X100T. One camera system, named explicitly — which is the gate the hub above describes, since the contacts behind the centre pin differ between makers
    Channel and group counts
    Not published. Five bullets name the system, the cameras, the compatible lights, the mounting and the battery, and no channel or group figures appear. The cheapest trigger on this shelf publishes 16 channels; this one publishes none, which is the odd gap on an otherwise precise page
    Remote power control
    Yes, but narrowly, and the third bullet is careful about it: used off-camera the X5F can adjust the power of the iT32 only. It will fire other Godox X-system lights and cannot change their power levels. That is a real limitation stated plainly rather than left to be discovered
    Metering and sync modes claimed
    High-speed sync support, named in the first bullet, and TTL in the product description. No sync ceiling in fractions of a second is published here — the flash it partners quotes 1/8000 s — and no metering protocol is named beyond TTL for Fujifilm
    Power source
    A built-in 3.8 V 100 mAh lithium cell that charges only when the unit is attached to the iT32, about 3 hours to fill, giving up to 16 hours of standby. The closing bullet also states there is no physical power switch: status is shown by coloured LEDs, and the charge level appears in the flash’s own menu

    • Fujifilm bodies named individually rather than described as universal
    • No channel or group counts published anywhere

    Best for: A Fujifilm body already inside the Godox X system, where the named light list is the reason to buy and the iT32 is the flash it drives.

  • NEEWER QZ-N flash trigger with a touchscreen display on a camera hot shoe

    NEEWER QZ-N, 2.4G Q system, touchscreen, 1/8000 s

    The dearest trigger here at 93 €, with a touchscreen, five groups, thirty-two channels, remote power from 1/256 to 1/1 and high-speed sync to 1/8000 — and it fires Godox lights as well as its own.

    Radio system named
    The NEEWER 2.4G Q system, with its own lights listed — Z3R-N, Z2PRO-N, Z2-N, Z1-N, Z880-N, NW760-N, S101-400W Pro, S102-400W Pro, Q4, Q4PRO, Q6, Q300, Q200 and Q120 — and then the unusual part: Godox iT32, V1 and V100 flashguns and the AD200 Pro II and AD100 Pro II outdoor heads are supported too, with current firmware. A named system that also reaches into a rival’s is rare, and the Q6 head in this catalogue is among the lights it drives
    Camera mounts supported
    Nikon, listed at length in the closing bullet — Z9, Z8, Zfc, Z50, Z30, Z5, Z6, Z7, Z6 II, Z7II and reflex bodies from the D4 and D5 to the D7500 — with one explicit exclusion: not compatible with the D810. An exclusion stated plainly is worth more than a list that implies everything works
    Channel and group counts
    5 groups, 32 channels and IDs from 01 to 99, with channel search, over a range given as 328 feet — about 100 m. It is the most granular addressing on this shelf: groups to control lights separately, channels to avoid others, and IDs to separate two photographers using the same channel
    Remote power control
    Yes, in full: flash power from 1/256 to 1/1, plus or minus 3 EV of exposure compensation, modelling light control and group control, all from the touchscreen. The second bullet adds automatic or manual zoom from 20 to 200 mm, which sets the beam of a compatible flash from the transmitter
    Metering and sync modes claimed
    TTL, manual and strobe, with 1/8000 s high-speed sync and S1 and S2 optical modes, in the first two bullets. The first carries a working note: the single-contact mode must be disabled for TTL and strobe to function. It is the only trigger on this shelf claiming metering and high-speed sync at all
    Power source
    A 1000 mAh lithium cell, fully charged in 2.5 hours, with a real-time battery display and firmware upgrades, in the fourth bullet. The same bullet gives the forced shutdown gesture — hold the power and test buttons together — which is the kind of detail that only appears after people have needed it

    • Ninety-three euros, more than four times the 17 € Andoer

    Best for: A Nikon body running several NEEWER Q or compatible Godox lights, where power, zoom and modelling light are set from a touchscreen rather than at each head.

  • ChromLives set of black, white and grey reference cards on their lanyard

    ChromLives Three cards, 12.7 by 10.2 cm, 18 per cent grey

    Eleven euros for three cards at 12.7 by 10.2 cm — grey at 18 per cent, plus white and black — from a page that says outright the white one barely works as a reflector.

    Reference type
    THREE CARDS, each with its job named in the first three bullets: an 18 per cent neutral GREY for metering exposure, a WHITE for setting white balance, and a BLACK for covering stray light. Three cards is the standard set, and this page is the only one on this shelf to explain each separately rather than as a bundle
    Stated reflectance
    18 PER CENT for the grey card, in the first bullet, which says it balances complex light to a neutral 18 per cent grey scene. No figure is given for the white or the black — where the 11 € JJC on this shelf publishes 90 per cent for its white card
    Patch count and published values
    Not applicable in the colorimetric sense: three cards, no patches, no published values. The 59 € Calibrite on this shelf is the only page here with numbered patches — which makes it a different instrument rather than a better card
    Surface finish
    NOT DESCRIBED. Neither matt nor gloss is claimed, and on a reference card the finish is what decides whether a light source appears as a highlight in the middle of the reading. The 11 € JJC publishes non-reflective and waterproof; the 11 € Lightdow publishes a density figure
    Size
    12.7 by 10.2 cm — 5 by 4 inches — in the fourth bullet, described as a medium card size and called compact, robust and light. It is the middle size on this shelf, between the 13 by 10 cm JJC and the 30 by 30 cm Lightdow
    Supplied case
    NO CASE, but a PREMIUM CLIP RELEASE LANYARD in the fifth bullet — a cord and a clip so the cards hang from a bag or a belt loop. For a card used once at the start of a session, being attached to something is more useful than being in a pouch

  • JJC set of three PVC grey, white and black cards with their clip strap

    JJC Three PVC cards, 130 by 100 mm, 18 % and 90 %

    Eleven euros for three waterproof PVC cards publishing both 18 per cent grey and 90 per cent white — the only page here to give two reflectance figures.

    Reference type
    THREE CARDS in PVC — an 18 per cent neutral grey, a white and a black — in the second and fifth bullets, described as colour-calibrated reference cards and called a must for light balance and photographic exposure
    Stated reflectance
    TWO FIGURES, and this is what separates the page: 18 PER CENT for the neutral grey AND 90 PER CENT for the white card, both in the second bullet. Ninety per cent is what a white reference should reflect — a true 100 per cent surface does not exist — and publishing it means the white card can be used for exposure as well as for white balance. No other page on this shelf gives a second figure
    Patch count and published values
    Three cards, no patches. The 59 € Calibrite here is the only patch chart on this shelf
    Surface finish
    PUBLISHED IN FULL, in the third bullet: NON-REFLECTIVE, highly scratch-resistant and WATERPROOF, in durable PVC. Non-reflective is the property that matters — a glossy card throws a highlight into the middle of the reading — and waterproof is what lets a card be used in rain and wiped afterwards
    Size
    130 by 100 mm, in the first bullet, described as medium. Marginally larger than the 12.7 by 10.2 cm ChromLives here and a fraction of the 30 by 30 cm Lightdow
    Supplied case
    No case: a strap with a DETACHABLE CLIP, in the fourth bullet, described as compact, robust and light in pocket format, easy to carry on a wallet or a key ring. The same solution as the ChromLives — attachment rather than storage

  • Lightdow folding grey card opened to 30 by 30 cm beside its carry case

    Lightdow 30 by 30 cm folding, 17.8 % reflectance, density 0.74

    Eleven euros for a 30 by 30 cm pop-up card that publishes 17.8 per cent, a density of 0.74, a 2 per cent tolerance and an eighth of a stop of error — the only measured card here.

    Reference type
    A DOUBLE-SIDED POP-UP card — grey on one face, white on the other, in the fourth bullet, which says it simplifies the technical questions of exposure and colour correction under varying light and names weddings and fashion shows as where that matters. It springs open like a reflector rather than being a rigid card
    Stated reflectance
    17.8 PER CENT, in the first bullet — and the honesty of that figure is the point. "Eighteen per cent" is the nominal standard; 17.8 is what this surface actually measures, published alongside a DENSITY OF 0.74. Density is the logarithmic form of the same property, and giving both is how a manufacturer shows the figure came from an instrument rather than a catalogue
    Patch count and published values
    Two faces, no patches. What it publishes instead is unique on this shelf: a MAXIMUM DEVIATION OF 2 PER CENT in the second bullet, and a MAXIMUM METERING ERROR OF ONE EIGHTH OF A STOP in the third. A tolerance is what turns a claim into a specification
    Surface finish
    Not described — the one gap on an otherwise measured page. The 11 € JJC here publishes non-reflective, and on a 30 cm surface a sheen matters more rather than less
    Size
    30 by 30 cm, in the title — NEARLY SEVEN TIMES the area of the 130 by 100 mm cards on this shelf, and FOLDING, with a carry case supplied. A large target can be metered from further away and photographed in the frame for later correction; a folding one still fits in a bag
    Supplied case
    YES — a carry case, in the title and the fourth bullet, which is what a sprung folding card needs. The fifth bullet adds a 90-day return and replacement guarantee for quality-related problems
