OK, imagine this:
A young climber engaged in an intense competition scales an impossible overhanging wall in front of a huge crowd, defying the shear laws of gravity itself.
She holds on with one hand and with the other reaches to pluck a fifty dollar bill off the wall and claim her prize. Just as the money is about to be pulled free from the wall... BOOOOOOM - all 190 lbs of Italian Photographer falls onto her sending the two of them crashing down 20 ft in front a crowd of stunned onlookers.
Sounds like a photographer’s nightmare!
Now that did not happen and why you ask?
Well, following the advise of Mr. Miyagi himself...
"Best Defense...No Be There!"
I was on the ground safe and out of the spotlight(to the right of this young lady's head in the image).
ALZO Wireless Radio Shutter Release
At $40 on Amazon, you can't beat this side kick's performance and price.
How solid is it you ask? More than $40 solid I would say.
With the dip switches surface mounted (yet sunk in to protect against most accidental changes) I believe you could even key in multiple receivers to one transmitter.
It is more compact than my Promaster (at $85), sleeker looking and HALF the price. Let me say that again...HALF the price!
The only draw back, no flash shoe mount. Nothing that $1 in Velcro can't solve though (trust me I will get over it).
And what if you sit on it or drop it into the ocean, it is cheap to replace. I have lost more expensive things in my career.
Do yourself a favor and BUY IT! ...
