haha. Crap. Did not see this thread, and just started one about this product. haha. I've been looking at the pocket wizards, and they looks awesome, but SOOO expensive. Was wondering if any of these worked well, or similar to the PW. If anyone has used these, is there a specific (smaller) transmitter to use with these? Let me know guys.

Any reviews on the Nikon version? I'm looking into getting triggers for work and I'm going to need 4 of them. With PW, that turns into a lot of money that I really don't have...

I've been waiting for these bad boys to come out for a while now. I just don't have the money to purchase the PW's either. Although I don't use HSS often, it is pretty cool that it comes with it. As of today, I only see 1 person selling it from the U.S. on eBay, around 100 bucks for 2. I'm going to wait a bit to see if more come into the States. I've bought equipment from China before, but shipping has been hit or miss. Sometimes 4-5 days, sometimes a month or more. Here is a review I found:

I just ordered a set on eBay, shipped from Utah. I got lucky, it looks as though almost all of them are coming from China so far. Looks like whoever is selling them picked up an extra set. His customer rating is 100% so I should have them in a few days. Report back once I test them...

Got them today in the mail. I've been testing them out with an SB700 and a YN468-II. The instruction manual is confusing, but I've finally figured out how to use them. The build quality is actually pretty damn good, and in the short tests I have done so far, there hasn't been any issues. I'm hoping to have a full review tomorrow or the next day once I use them a little more....

Let us know how you like them... I really liked the Pocket Wizard system... but it was just way too much money to even consider if you have 2 flashes. Let us know how you like/dislike them.

Little confused as to when you said "The flash has to always be in TTL". So you can only control output from the transmitter, and not the flash itself? Not sure if I'm reading that correct.

Ya know what, after I just re-read my review after your comments, I decided to test it again. You can in fact control the output from the flash, but what you can't do is remotely change the power from the on camera transceiver. No big deal, just have to walk up to it, and to be honest, this may be preferable to some people. If you put the flash in TTL mode, and are shooting in manual mode through the transceivers, you won't actually know what the power output is. This exact reason is why some people are getting a master flash to put on top of the transceiver. Unfortunately the D90 built in commander mode doesn't work with the triggers. Hope this helps, let me know if you have other questions, I'm going to update my review.

Can someone clarify, using the 622, can you control an off camera flash, which is in manual mode, with your camera? Or do you have to physically go to the flash?

Yes, you can definitely control it with your camera (through the 622n). The caveat is the off camera flash has to be set to TTL mode if you want to remotely control the off camera flash. Even if you want to use the off camera flash in manual mode, it still needs to be set to TTL so the 622 can send power information to the off camera flash. Then you would just set the 622 that is on your camera to manual mode and you are good to go. The off camera flash will now be in manual mode, and you can control the power output from the 622 on your camera. The only downside is that the 622N doesn't have an LCD screen, so you won't know the exact power settings you are shooting at. The LCD on the off camera flash won't tell you what the power setting is set to, it will only say "TTL" or similar depending on the flash.

One more thing, if you have commander mode built into your camera, as with the D90, it can't be used in conjunction with the 622.
