Product Description
The MicroSync Digital is the smallest smartest wireless solution for firing strobes and cameras. The Freedom of Wireles: Whether your'e shooting in the studio or on location, firing your strobes with a sync cord can be impractical, inconvenient, and sometimes even impossible. Not any more! The MicroSync Digital wireless strobe sync system allows you to fire strobes wirelessly. So liberate yourself from the limitations of your sync cord. Ultra Small, Light and Convenient: The MicroSync Digital is revolutionary because it is super minature, extremely lightweight, and almost operates itself. Just place the transmitter in the hotshoe of your camera, plug the receiver into your strobe's powerpack and fire! Its that easy. Automatic Power Management: The MicroSync Digital has a unique automatic on/off power management system. There are no on/off switches on the transmitter or the receiver. When you press the shutter the transmitter turns itself on, sends the signal to the receiver, then turns itself off, all in milliseconds. Because of this advanced power management system, the battery life of the coin cell in the transmitter is anticipated to be 3 years. Four Channels: There are four channels on the MicroSync Digital to allow you to shoot without interference from other MicroSync users in close proximity.

 Excellent for the price! September 7, 2008
I bought these as an alternative to the pricier PocketWizard. This is a great little piece of hardware and works well in smaller studios. It is a bit limited in range and I have had a couple of missed shots on location. In a studio however, these are very reliable.
The receiver I purchased have the standard mono-plug and I use a standard 1/4" to 3.5mm adapter to connect to my monolights. The receivers also have a micro-mini jack which allows connection to speedlights and monolights through adapter cables also sold by MicroSync.
If you are looking for a basic, no-frills wireless trigger, the MicroSync is a good option. These are a whole lot better then the cheap eBay triggers.
 Flawless !!!! April 17, 2008

My status: Professional amateur.
My equipment, Canon EOS 1D IIN, 2 580EXs, & the microsync system. I purchased a mono female 1/4 plug from radio shack(3.99)and I spliced it to a mono plug (or whatever port your flash has) that plugs directly into my flashes. Works flawlessly. Successfully fired strobes from at least 90 feet...For my purposes (portrait, wedding photography) this is more than adequate...Love the size of the transmitter, looks very professional on my setup. The recievers are a little bigger than expected(pocket wizard sized), but who cares they will be tethered to my flash lightstands. So far no trouble with the "occassional misfires" I have read on the web. Would reccommend to anyone wanting to take their photography to the next level....
Works as Advertised November 18, 2007

This works as advertised! I purchased a Canon 580EX flash, and remote mounted it with a custom cable (not available at Amazon), so the trigger end of the Microsynch would set it off. I then mounted the Microsynch on my camera--when you shoot the picture, the flash works, from anywhere in about a 40 or 50 foot radius of the flash. This is going to be really useful for fill flash in taking pictures of kid's parties and family gatherings without the normal redeye or washout.
The only caution is--you want to stop down when using this, probably about two stops in most situations, since the camera doesn't know this flash is there, so it doesn't adjust things correctly. If you have a camera with the ability to bracket shots, you probably want to use the bracketing capability, as well, to get the right exposure on every shot.
