arthury Posted February 10, 2019 Share #1 Posted February 10, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) I need help with choosing a flash triggering system. Here are the requirements: [Camera agnostic]: Firstly, I use Leica M10, Nikon D850 and FujiFilm Xpro2 and I'm exploring the idea of purchasing a flash triggering system which can be used in across these 3 cameras (separately). I do not want to invest in a separate camera-specific trigger system, like the ones produced by Leica or Nikon specifically for their own cameras. [Master controller]: Secondly, I want the trigger system to be able to control the power of each remote flash unit from a master controller. I don't want to have to talk to each flash unit to change its power. [Radio signals]: Thirdly, I want the trigger system to use radio signals so I can set the flash units at longer distances and do not need a line of sight. I'm pretty sure these requirements are not uncommon. Please share with me your thoughts. Thank you! So far, I have these in my short list: YongNuo Godox PocketWizard Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LocalHero1953 Posted February 11, 2019 Share #2 Posted February 11, 2019 I use Godox X-Pro trigger/controller, V850 flash/trigger, AD200 high power flash with my SL. Easy to use, cheap. Simple dial control on the controller. However, I think I have the Canon version of the X-Pro trigger (even though I use it in manual mode), and I know they also make versions for Nikon and Fuji. I don't see why they shouldn't work in manual mode across all three camera bodies, but you may have to wait for confirmation from others or try it yourself at a dealer (as I did). Most other trigger systems would have the same question: most (all?) of them all come in Canon and Nikon versions, and some for Sony, Fuji and Olympus as well. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Photon42 Posted February 11, 2019 Share #3 Posted February 11, 2019 Cactus are cross brand for a number of systems, including Nikon and Fuji for HSS/TTL. I have the impression however, that their innovation cycle come to an end almost. They tried to kickstart a competitor for the Godox AD200, but failed to reach the target. Today, Godox is an excellent choice, especially if you are cost aware and want to mix totally different flashes. I have an XPro controller for Nikon for HSS and TTL use. It controls small flashes as well as large strobes. The AD200 is in my eyes the best thought out product in its power range. It takes some time to actually realize all its flexibility features.
