Radio trigger for my Nikon SB910 flash


6 years 8 months ago #537678 by Mare_333
Hello all,I use Nikon SB910 flash and Nikon D3300 camera. I need to use the flash OFF camera. I need to have good radio triggers for that. There are many on the market available, but there is an issue as far as I am aware - most radio triggers work fine if the off camera flash is in MANUAL mode, but don't trigger the flash if the off camera flash is in TTL mode. The only one that I found that works even when the off camera flash is in TTL mode is PocketWizard FlexTT5 transceiver. I purchased it, but it is not good. It stops working randomly while I am shooting. It triggers the flash for one shot and fails to trigger the flash at the next shot. So if you know any good radio trigger that works with the OFF camera flash in TTL mode can you please let me know. Thanks.

If you want a wireless system that supports TTL, then buy one. As you've discovered, there aren't many choices. And you don't give enough information about your usage to know what the problem might really be. Perhaps it's just a recharge time issue, and you're not waiting long enough for the flash to be ready?

But a TTL system is probably not really what you want, as the camera's decision about lighting is based on what it sees. As soon as you move your light source to another location, it doesn't matter what the camera says, it's probably going to be wrong.

That's why you mostly have solutions that require you to understand how to manage the light yourself. And that's really what you want to do. Artificial takes work, like it or not, and you'll be better off if you purpose to build your skills in this area.
