Its great how you can mix the Strato II models, but the Odin definitely won't control anything on a YN-560 III unfortunately, only simply trigger it.

Well they did sell out in one day, but it looks like more have been re-listed for $10 more this time (now $109.99) from the same seller.  New links and an unboxing video here (which looks quite...

Yes the YN-622C works great with the 40D. I actually use that combination a lot. No need for a master flash with the Canon version YN-622C as mentioned above, it just the new Nikon 622N that really...

I would like to be wrong, but I doubt we'll see them priced that low again. The price in China is around $130, so I would expect they will generally be around $150. Its pretty surprising to see...

YongNuo will have a YN-568EX II with master control around July. I mentioned it here with the new YN-622N - http://flashhavoc.com/yn-622n-nikon-ittl-trigger-full-details/ You really need a master...

There is a new bare bulb TTL (and manual) speedlite called the Triopo TR-120. But the first ones are available now on Amazon branded as the Polaroid PL-135.  This is pretty impressive for the...

More detail on the Multi Boom can be seen here as well - http://flashhavoc.com/phottix-multi-boom/

Cheetah have posted a couple of videos describing the CL-180, radio triggers, and Lithium pack here -Cheetah Light CL-180http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXwb7NWCSLI Cheetah Lithium L4500 Battery...

There is a new video and some behind the scenes images uploaded here -http://youtu.be/eBWLdgx2i34http://www.cheetahstand.net/2013/02/15/cheetah-light-sample-shots/Also mounting to a large 50"...

They have taken more of the styling from Q-flash than I would have liked, but this is a completely different flash unit designed and built from scratch themselves, taking over a year to do. There...

I would prefer it they had both. Just a 1/4" mounting hole on the side would be fine to mount directly in an umbrella swivel.

Yes the flash has no batteries inside, so you need an external battery pack of some description. The 4500 Lithium pack although not the cheapest offers a lot for the price. Other packs like the...

Cheetah Stand (US based) have a high powered bare bulb hotshoe flash available in in the next few weeks. I've followed this for along time and its looking to be the first serious option since the...

I have also put up a review of the new YN-568EX flash unit, which is the first YN flash to have HSS enabled allowing it to take full advantage of the YN-622C features. The 568EX is the lowest price...

Thanks for that, for FP HSS you do really need a HSS enabled speedlite. The YN-622C and a number of TTL triggers now do have another feature often called Hypersync, or Supersync in this case. Its...

I would agree with Scratchdisk, the Odins are brilliiant, but its going to be pretty difficult to integrate the Sekonic at this stage. The PW ControlTL do sound like what you're after, its really...

Thanks, yes the pass through hotshoe is really handy, not only for flash on camera, but I've also used it with an off camera shoe cord (TTL cord), and even just to mount other radio trigger Tx to...

If anyone is after an inexpensive slave flash option for the YN-622C I wrote a little bit of a review on the options and a possible suggestion here...

It still sounds like you have some issues there to me, you shouldn't be getting so many misfires even with HSS on.As mentioned previously the first thing to test would be to watch the flash...

You can use other softboxes that use the standard rods, its just that the Chimera QR ring is a little larger than most standard rings so other softboxes can be a bit tight (and sometimes too...
