Product Description
The Phottix Aster Wireless Flash Trigger Set is used to remotely fire camera flashes. The Aster transmitter unit emits a wireless radio signal to the Aster receiver unit when the camera’s shutter is triggered. This signal fires the flash attached to the receiver, depending on the radio channel selected. The receiver can also be optically triggered with a camera’s built-in flash or other flash unit. This allows you to take off-camera flash photographs without using radio triggering.
Features
-The receiver unit has two operating modes: In ‘W’ (wireless) mode the receiver unit is triggered by the wireless transmitter unit. In ‘L’ (light) mode the receiver unit is triggered optically by another flash – an optical sensor is on the back of the receiver unit.
-Four radio channels (for ‘W’ wireless mode) are available to avoid interference.
-When using ‘W’ wireless mode: Setting the transmitter’s channel selection switch to “ALL” will fire the flashes on all receiver units within range, even if set to different channels.
-The transmitter and receiver units have an on/off switch, and an LED to indicate operation and triggering.
-The receiver unit’s hotshot mount will accept speedlight-type flash units. The metal tripod thread underneath the receiver unit can be used for mounting the unit on a tripod or light stand.
-The receiver unit’s PC Sync socket will take a 3.5mm mono plug. The included 3.5mm PC Sync cable
can connect the receiver unit to a studio strobe when using the 6.35mm PC adapter (included).
-Supported Modes: Manual, Non TTL Auto.
