Question: Will this work on a Sony Alpha using a Nikon sb-700 speed light or older style flash unit?
Document: I bought this set along with a second receiver. I use it with a Nikon flash triggered from a Canon 5D lll and Canon speed light. It worked without issue right out of the box. The speed lights have to be in manual mode, which I knew when I purchased the receiver. I recommend this for strobbists as and affordable alternative to more expensive options.
I tried this product before the yongnuo and aperture products. This one is big, solid and simple. As a result, I went back and picked up a couple more. This is a frighteningly simple flash trigger. One is a dedicated transmitter and the other is a dedicated receiver. The hot shoe locks are very nice, it takes AA batteries and is really user friendly. I shot an event using one transmitter and 2x receivers on a Nikon SB-700 and SB-910. They did not misfire.
This is a basic radio flash trigger. Turn it on, make sure the transmitter and receiver are on the same channel, and it just works. It syncs my setup (Sony Nex-6, Nikon SB-800) at 1/250 second or slower. At 1/320, there's a little fall-off. There's a test button on the transmitter. The receiver is flat so it doesn't add height to the flash or un-balance it on a small table-top stand.
Ordered the Phottix Ares flash triggers because I couldn't afford Pocket Wizards right now. I figured when I could afford it I'd sell these and purchase the Pocket Wizards. After using these for 6 month now I'm really impressed with them. I just started my own photography business and I use these on every job I've been on with no problems at all. I also use them on my studio strobes and they work great. They do exactly what they say they'll do, not one miss fire.
Yay!Can't go wrong with the Phottix triggers. I have a set of Strattos for my Nikon. These are the most reliable I have found for the Sony A7 Multi shoe mount. They also come with a nice case.
Love them, easy to set up and use, getting great portrait work through these recievers Phottix is the way to go great price great unit, these are my 1st recievers so im gonna stick with them.
I found out that third party flashes work with Canon and Nikon. Other flashes do not work well with this system.
I recently switched from Nikon to Fuji and had to change my wireless triggers. I purchased some Cowboy Studio triggers and they just would NOT work with the Fuji XE-2, which was very frustrating. So I sold them off and purchased the Phottix Ares triggers. The Ares are built so much better and have worked flawlessly on my last 2 shoots. I've been very happy with these triggers so far. I'll update my review if something happens in the future.
This was my second set of wireless flash trigger set (after the cheap light set, which I wouldn't recommend). It is classy: well built and reliable. I am impressed. Very highly recommended.
Received today and tried them out. Working perfect. Feels like a good build quality, good solid on/off switch and easy to see channel light marker. Worked with Canon speedlights,  standard strobes and low cost Yongnuo speedlight. Of course manual only but that is what I prefer. I will shoot about 500 flash shots next week which is way more than I usually do so if anything underperforms I will update this review.
Answer: Since it only takes the middle contact, not being an TTL unit, I don't see any reason it wont work. I dont have a Sony Alpha Camera, I use them on Canon cameras (multiple) and with all kind of speedlights... in manual mode. Great triggers!
