Blazzeo wireless slave & trigger review

Blazzeo slave receivers: pure junk!

I am writing this review of Blazzeo's radio triggers not only because I am bitter over the purchase, but more importantly to warn others about these shotty little pieces of junk!

I picked up a set of 4 receivers and a trigger as they were on sale from linkdelight.com, and I needed to kit up for an upcoming shoot...let me just say they helped me make that shoot happen, then realizing they had fulfilled their purpose, went ahead and fell apart.

The problem as far as I can see is in the cheap production quality, the hot shoes are bent and warped and so poorly attached to the body of the receiver unit that the weight of even an SB-700 flash is too much to bare. Also the vertical design of the unit adds much more stress on the hot shoe then a horizontal design would.

The weight of one of Nikon's smaller flashes ripped 2 screws out of their plastic threads

The old adage, "You get what you pay for" is very true here, these slaves are incredibly cheap, but still I would expect to have more then one glitchy use out of a device before it flat out failed on me.

I recommend you spend a little cash for piece of mind alone, last thing you want is to be on a shoot, everything in place and be ruined by a $15 piece of garbage.
