Pocket Wizard recently announced their newest trigger system – Pocket Wizard III. Pocket Wizard has long been the photography industry standard when it comes to radio triggers. There are a lot of triggers out there nowadays but when it comes to availability to rent, warranty, durability, and range, no other triggers out there can really beat Pocket Wizard. Pocket Wizards are expensive so there may be better options out there depending on what you are using the triggers for. Personally I use Paul Buff’s Cybersync trigger system. If I decide to upgrade my light setup one of these days, I might change the radio trigger system to either Pocket Wizard or Elinchrom Skyport, simply because they offer more features such as remote power adjustment and ETTL. Speaking of radio triggers I wouldn’t recommend buying those cheap Chinese triggers. Chances are the cheap triggers will misfire when you’re on a job, causing extra headaches. You’re better off buying reliable triggers.
