For my studio strobes I use Skyport triggers (because they came with the Bx RI-strobes), but recently aquired a pair of Pocket Wizard Multimax-triggers (because of their range and ability to remote-control the camera). I wanted to find out what works best with the two Nikon SB-900 I use.
CLS is cool. It is quick, allows for fastest shutter speeds and you can control everything from your camera.
But it is not working for me. All those pre-flashes make my subject blink and I didn’t manage to get a decent portrait of any of my subjects. It might work fine for objects. This problem does not exist with the Pocket Wizards or Skyports.
AND THE WINNER IS: Pocket Wizard Multimax
