Hi
Not familiar with this make, most people seem to be happy with the Yongnuo trigger sets. I have used them with no probs!

Can you use the Yongnuo as a remote shutter release also? That was what was persuading me towards the Aputure, as it can do many thing. Just not sure on there reputation and what I would need.

I'd like one transmitter/reciever for the camera and to be able to remote release the shutter and two others for flashes, but can't work out if I need four or 3 and you can use the one on the camera to shutter release. Im confused lol.
 
Never heard of them, though that doesn't mean they're not any good. But why not just stick to the tried and tested Yongnuo RF-602 (or 603 if you prefer)? If you want to trigger the camera too, just make sure you get the right cables with it for that.
 
I've also been looking at these as we used them last week for some high speed photography. They seemed pretty good and fired fine probably 80% of the time. This was my first time with this sort of kit so have no idea if this is good or not.

I've been trying to work out what exactly they mean by 2x. I assume you only get one of the little triggers/receivers?
I'm looking to attach one to either my camera hotshoe or sound trigger, with two more attached to 2 different flashes. I have no idea how many I need to buy?

80% is terrible.

I would have binned the YN RF-602s that I use long ago at anything less than 100%. A simple firing signal is not much to ask of even basic gear.

What was it like the other 20%, I was really hoping these were going to be good especially as they more than those yonguongu ones.

RF602s are good. But they aren't anything like 100%. Neither for that matter are my pocket wizards.

But bang for buck it's very very hard to beat the RF602s.

100% I agree, they are the same make as ishoot, same internals, do me fine I have never had a problem.

Wireless shutter and flash all for under £50, and you can add as many as you like, the flash on the right is Nikon dedicated on my Canon, the large one is my Metz 45 CL-$ Digital, the one on the left is Metz also.

Which set is it for £50 to have as flash triggers and remote shutter?
Could you be so kind to link me to one?
