Far From Neutral Notions - Philippine politics, culture and stuff

Finally got myself a wireless flash trigger — no, not a Pocket Wizard™, just a cheap radio remote — and I can’t wait to try it on people!

I actually tried my hand at soldering a few wires to an old hotshoe connector I have, but was too scared to try it on my D40X, although it worked fine on my F60. Still, wires are bulky, and I know there’s an exposed wire somewhere because I got a mild jolt the first time I tried it.

I got mine from Gadget Infinity, though I’d advise that you wait ’till someone you know goes to Hong Kong first, or ships it to you from there, since their shipping costs don’t include the taxes. It’s not 100% reliable though, particularly when there’s a large obstacle, but it’ll do in a pinch
