Flash Synchronizers. Bright photographic equipment Which radio synchronizer is better for canon

Professional radio synchronizer Pixel Bishop F-510 for Nikon is designed to fire remote flashes and/or studio all-in-ones with a range of up to 200 meters, an E-TTL pass-through hot shoe on the transmitter, support for flash group control, sync speeds up to 1/320, and a radio remote control function for camera shutter release and launching "slave" remote cameras.

In Pixel F-510 Bishop, not only the receiver, but also the transmitter is equipped with a “hot shoe” for mounting a flash. At the same time, the flash mounted on the hot shoe of the transmitter retains TTL functions (E-TTL or i-TTL depending on the system) and autofocus assist, which makes it much easier to shoot in low light conditions and makes it possible to use two flashes simultaneously on the kit " 1 transmitter + 1 receiver" - one flash on the receiver remotely from the camera, the second is mounted in the hot shoe of the transmitter placed on the camera. It is also possible to install an E-TTL synchronizer in the transmitter's hot shoe, such as Canon ST-E2 or Nikon SU-800.

The Pixel Bishop Synchronizer has a "master remote camera control" feature. In this mode, it is possible to shoot simultaneously from several (according to the number of receivers) cameras of the same object (synchronous camera shutter release) from different angles - pressing the shutter button on the “master” camera with the transmitter installed causes the shutters on the “slave” cameras to fire. Attention! To implement this function, an additional cable is required, which is not included by default.

The power source for both the transmitter and the receiver of the Pixel Bishop radio synchronizer are widely used AA cells (batteries or accumulators).

Pixel Bishop functionality for Nikon:

1. Remote trigger mode for external compact flashes:

The transmitter is mounted on the camera's hot shoe, the flash is mounted on the receiver's hot shoe. Half-pressing the shutter button allows you to wake the flash from sleep mode (if the flash has this mode). Fully pressing the camera shutter button or a button on the transmitter fires the flash.

With a single Pixel Bishop synchronizer transmitter, multiple receivers can be controlled simultaneously. If necessary, you can purchase additional receivers in our store.

2. Remote control mode for studio flashes - monoblocks:

In this mode, the Pixel F-510 Bishop RF synchronizer works like a standard studio radio synchronizer. The transmitter is installed in the "hot shoe" of the camera, the receiver is connected via a cable (included) to the studio flash. When you press the camera shutter button or a button on the transmitter, the flash will fire.

3. Camera shutter release remote control mode (radio remote control):

The radio synchronizer receiver is connected to the camera via a cable that is inserted into the appropriate camera control connector. Pressing the buttons on the transmitter releases the camera shutter.

4. Camera master mode.

The transmitter is installed on the "master" camera. The receiver(s) are connected via cable to the “slave” cameras. Pressing the shutter button on the "master" camera simultaneously activates the shutter release on the "slave" cameras.

The Pixel Bishop F-510 Wireless Trigger is compatible for use with flash units:

· all studio flashes with a 6.35mm (1/4") or 3.5mm (1/8") jack socket,

· portable on-camera flashes with or without a “sleep mode” (allows you to wake the flashes from “sleep mode”).

This version of the Pixel Bishop F-510 radio trigger is designed for use with Canon cameras.

By far the most common trigger is the hot shoe itself, i.e. when the flash is attached directly to the camera. It's very simple, but there are some nuances.

The fact is that a camera flash mounted in this way rarely gives better results. The first limitation is that the flash is physically attached to the DSLR. If you don't have a perfectly white ceiling or wall, then your only option is to point it directly at the subject or slightly higher. As a result, we get an impulse "on the forehead" and the absence of a black and white pattern.

This does not mean that using a hot shoe as a synchronizer does not have advantages. In fact, there are two rather significant pluses: ease of installation and ease of operation. All you need is to install the device on the camera and turn it on. Then the automation will do everything itself. Agree, this is convenient, especially for beginner photographers.

To get more out of it and take full advantage of ambient lighting, use it off-camera and you will usually get a much more natural effect, especially in portraiture. The easiest way to do this is to buy.

Wired synchronizer (sync cable)

It is an extension cable that fits into the hot shoe. A flash is installed at the other end. Now you still have all the advantages of a direct connection between the camera and the flash, BUT you can move the flash so that the light hits your subject from the left, right, top and bottom. And sync cable TTL comes in different lengths. The most common are 1, 3 and 5 meters.

Of the shortcomings, it is worth mentioning only the bulkiness of the design. It is inconvenient to hold the camera in one hand and the flash in the other. Therefore, brackets and are often used as a solution. Then the whole structure is one and increases the mobility of the photographer.

Wireless synchronizer

One of the most reliable and therefore costly ways to remotely activate various flashes is to use a wireless trigger.

Wireless triggers don't require any cords running from the camera to the flash. They send a special signal to each flash that you want to fire every time you press the shutter button on your camera.

Wireless triggers can fire multiple flashes from a long distance, and some don't require line of sight and can transmit successfully around corners and through walls. That's why radio synchronizer is the #1 choice for photo studios. There are two types of wireless triggers: infrared triggers and radio triggers.

Infrared synchronizer

It exchanges data using pulsed beams of light that travel in line of sight between a camera-based transmitter and a flash-based receiver. The one shown in the picture has a number of significant shortcomings.

Firstly, the signal is quite weak and unstable. Secondly, the limited sector of action and the distance to the flash, line of sight is necessary.

All these shortcomings are deprived of radio synchronizers.

Radio synchronizers

There are two options. Some may consist of a transmitter and receiver, others include transceivers - a transceiver in one housing. The former can be attributed to an aging system, but they are cheap and in most cases very reliable. Transceiver models tend to be slightly more expensive, more convenient, and usually offer more features.

The flash synchronizer can operate at different frequencies. This affects the quality of the transmitted signal. In practice, this can manifest itself in interruptions in the firing of flashes. The operating frequency also affects the range. The higher it is, the more stable the signal and the greater the range.

Can be manual or TTL. The manual one simply sets it on fire, all settings must be made independently and manually. That is, before the session, install the flashes on a support, for this it is best suited. Go to each of them and set the parameters.

The TTL radio synchronizer is a very handy accessory. Fully transfers all settings from the camera to the flash, providing complete control over the process. But you have to pay for convenience, so the price of a TTL flash synchronizer bites.

How to choose a radio trigger for flash

Inexpensive models consist of a transmitter and receiver, operate at a frequency of 433MHz, which allows you to transmit a signal over a distance of up to 30 meters. We recommend paying attention to. Such a synchronizer for the flash works in manual mode and is able to wake it from sleep mode. Reliable and inexpensive model for a home photo studio.

In the middle class, the undisputed leader is the Yongnuo radio synchronizer. What are its advantages? First of all, more expensive models offer a number of benefits. Let's consider them with an example.

First of all, this is work at a higher and more stable frequency of 2.4GHz, due to which the range is at least 100 meters. There are no more receivers and transmitters - the kit consists of two transceivers, which increases convenience and mobility. The Yongnuo RF-603 II radio synchronizer can wake up from sleep and work as a remote control for the camera. It is worth noting the presence of a hot shoe mount - now the device will not hang on its cable, as it was in cheaper ones junior models. Affordable price makes the Yongnuo RF-603 II radio synchronizer a very profitable purchase.

However, it is still a manual radio synchronizer. That is, every time you need to change the power of individual flashes, the photographer needs to leave his workplace to make changes to the settings. It may seem like a small thing, but being able to change the flash output from the camera is actually a big time saver. And it is implemented in TTL synchronizers, which we will consider later.

The high-level flash synchronizer features TTL mode support. A striking example is . This is the top model in the line of this manufacturer at a very reasonable price. Able to remotely control and set fire to an unlimited number of flashes. Each device is a transceiver and can serve as both a transmitter and a receiver. This is determined automatically, depending on what it is connected to. Operates at a stable frequency of 2.4GHz. Supports high-speed synchronization up to 1/8000s.

We hope this article has clarified the question of how to choose a radio synchronizer. You can get additional advice, feel and buy a flash synchronizer in Kyiv and with delivery in Ukraine in the online store of photographic equipment Vtochka!

We recently published material in which we considered the question of whether. And if you chose radio synchronizers, as the most suitable option, then the next step is to figure out what kind of strange parameters they have - channels, groups, TTL and why all this is needed, and most importantly, how to use all the features of these accessories? We will disassemble from the simplest to the most complex and advanced.

What is a radio synchronizer?

radio synchronizer- this is a device, or rather a set of two devices, which includes a receiver and a transmitter. The transmitter transmits a radio signal to the radio receiver that the shutters are open and it is time for the flash to fire. This is the only thing that all radio synchronizers have in common. Otherwise, they differ from each other. And the first division by appointment.

The first thing you should pay attention to when choosing a radio synchronizer is whether it is intended for studio flashes or on-camera ones. Modern expensive models of radio synchronizers are produced universal - they have a cord for connecting to a studio monoblock and a shoe for installing an on-camera flash. But the simplest radio synchronizers are made either for a studio or for an on-camera flash.

To power TTL radio synchronizers (both receivers and transmitters) a lot of energy is required. Most often, therefore, power is supplied from rechargeable batteries or AA batteries.

Transceivers

Receivers and transmitters are often also called transmitters and receivers (respectively). But some manufacturers are experimenting and producing transceivers - transceivers. That is, if you switch the lever, the device can be both a receiver and a transmitter. Theoretically, this is interesting, but where can such diversity come in handy? Unless you get more of these devices, and when you need to use two cameras, some receivers can be switched to transmitter mode.

In general, a radio synchronizer is a useful accessory, it allows you not to think about the wires connecting the photographer and the light source. Radio synchronizers are developing more and more, every year they are losing value and are able to do more. The number of functions translates into quality, which allows you to make shooting not only more convenient, sometimes you can’t do without them at all!

We hope this article will help you make your choice. We tried to make a review from an independent point of view, and only the photographer has the last word - to choose an expensive multifunctional synchronizer or a simple one, saving on purchase. Well, if you still have questions - write to us or come to, where you can look at the radio synchronizers in operation and make a final decision.

If you are faced with the task of remotely controlling flash units on the go (that is, not installed in the camera's hot shoe), then a radio trigger will help you with this task. Was already there before. In this article, we will try to figure out more specifically what exactly you should pay attention to when choosing a synchronizer.

So, it just so happened that the owners of Canon and Nikon were the most fortunate - each manufacturer has models of synchronizers for these camera systems. If you have a different brand of camera, then the cheapest and most practical synchronizer can help you - DSLR-kit PT-04 (04 is the number of radio channels on which this synchronizer can work).

The concept of transceivers, or transceivers, which is implemented in the RF-603 is easier if you decide to expand your lighting scheme - you do not have to buy a receiver, but only a transceiver.

We hope that this review will help beginners to understand the variety on the market. In general, when choosing a synchronizer, be guided by the amount you can spend on this accessory, as well as that it suits the purpose of your shooting.
