Product Description
The Phottix Aster Wireless Flash Trigger receiver wirelessly triggers off-camera flashes and studio
lights. This receiver attaches to portable flashguns with a hot shoe style mount or via a PC Sync cable,
and is meant to be used with the Phottix Aster transmitter.
The Phottix Aster receiver offers multiple modes.
W (wireless) Mode – The receiver is triggered by a wireless signal from the Phottix Aster transmitter.
The receiver should be within 30 m. of the transmitter.
L (light) Mode – The receiver is optically triggered. A camera’s pop-up flash, or another flashgun or
studio strobe will fire the flash unit connected to the receiver.
The Phottix Aster receiver has 4 wireless channels to avoid radio interference and allows photographers

Due to similar frequencies the Phottix Tetra and Aster Flash Triggers, and Phottix Cleon I/II
Wireless Remotes and may not work together properly. Consider a Phottix Plato or Strato if you
require a wireless shutter release for use with your Phottix Tetra or Aster.
