Reliable or Not? Does anyone Know?

Does anyone know how reliable the Alien Bee Radio Flash Trigger Transmitters are?

AB offers an on camera transmitter for $39.95. An additional hand held
transmitter $39.95 for use at the subject when taking light meter readings, and a receiver to be placed on the main light, again $39.95.

A totally wireless set up for $120 sounds pretty good, but does anyone know if they are reliable?

I would like to buy these transmitters and receiver to go with a set of
AB 800 that I am about to order if you all have enough positive things to say.

This would be a huge savings over buying a similar Sekonic system that would cost about $450 not including the meter.

Thanks for your input.

They are quite reliable and work nicely. There is a link to my review in the Product Reviews Sticky. The only thing I didn't like about them was that there was no screw down ring of locking mechanism to hold the transmitter on the hot shoe of the camera. I'm not sure if the Impact or others that are identical in all ways have the screw down in the foot. Then again it might not even matter to you but if you like, check out the review and see.

I have a set and love them! For the price they work great.

I have been using mine since Dec. and not once have they given me a problem. I have shot around 30k pictures and havent had to change the battery yet. I shoot in alot of high school gyms and I can walk anywhere
and the radio has no problem setting them off.

I pan to order another set soon.

Two heads-up reviews from users of the product is good enough for me. Thank you both for your input. It's very much appreciated. I can't wait for the AB800's, transmitters and receiver to arrive.
