PT-04 radio triggers.

[Ariel]

I don't know if this is the right place to ask for this or not, since I am not buying or selling anything I guess. Does anyone knows where to buy this in the US or is it eBay/China the only place where you can get them?

Thanks in advance,
Ariel

If you search this forum, you'll find wildly different opinion about thier reliability. Many users are happy, but just as many curse them. Radio-frequency pollution may be the reason why some experience random firing, but there could also be some difference in quality between sellers.

Using brand name batteries instead of the included ones is advisable, although I didn't replace the 12V that came installed in the transmitters.

I bought 3 sets from this seller and they just work, flawlessly, up to about 25m. I've never had a single misfire or random triggering.

Thanks for the info, I do know they are not quality triggers but for what I'll be using them I cant justify spending $400 worth of triggers. My question really is if there was a place where you can buy them in the United States. That ebay store on your link its in China which is what I am trying to avoid.

You can usually only find them on eBay. I don't know of any place in the US that sells. them.

Gadget Infinity has a good reputation for honesty, reliability, and customer service. Their products are just crap, but they stand behind them.

i bought my generic PT-04s from an ebay seller [ndbirdhk] in HK. free shipping put it in my hands in one week.

if you insist on a domestic seller, my friend got his cactus triggers from
