More on the 2.4G Trigmaster Plus
2.4G Trigmaster Plus is a smart sensing transceiver – featuring a transmitter and receiver system built into one pocket-sized unit. Photographers no longer need separate transmitters and receivers to trigger their flashes. The interlink triggering mode enables one Trigmaster Plus to receive and transmit signals at the same time. Users can remotely trigger their camera, while camera then relays signal to remote flashes, enabling your entire system to work simultaneously.
With Trigmaster Plus, you can control your flash in a number of ways. There is new secure hot shoe mount so that you can connect your speed light flash directly. You can also connect it to your studio strobe via the included cable. Finally, there is a PC Sync port for shooting wired.
Trigmaster Plus has six channels and transmits at the universal frequency of 2.4G MHz. It can trigger flashes at a distance of at least 100 meters at sync speeds up to 1/250 sec. It can also awaken your flashes.
Trigmaster Plus can control speed light flashes and studio strobes at the same time – and is compatible with more brands than ever before. Trigmaster Plus can also be used as a wireless shutter release, removing the need for a dedicated one, simplifying your gear bag.
The Aputure 2.4G Trigmaster Plus is currently shipping to retailers and is sold individually with cables, a 6.3mm adapter and batteries. Models are available for Canon, Nikon, Sony, Pentax, and Olympus. Check with your local Aputure retailer for purchase inquiries.

Hi Abisay, this is a manual trigger, not a TTL trigger. Also, you cannot place a flash on top of this unit while it is on the camera. Please stay tuned for a future version with these capabilities…

I have been using a pair of Trigmaster Plus 2.4G transceivers since December 2011 and I can only report good things about them.
They just work, unlike some of the cheap alternatives I have used over the years. Like anything that runs from batteries, they do show a drop in performance as the battery charge drops. Primarily range gradually drops off, which isn’t normally a problem within a studio or home environment. The shutter sinc speed suffers at 1/250 on very low batteries, buy this can be overcome, changing to 1/200 until the batteries are completely drained, when they just don’t work.
There is never that uncertain time, of whether they will fire the flash or not. If the batteries are good, they work and if the batteries are poor they don’t.
When I bought these I got an amazing deal on eBay paying less than £40 (40 pounds stirling) for two, I see they have gone up since then, but still an excellent buy.
It’s a great product, just buy it, use it & forget it’s there.
PS. if you have an appropriate lead, you can rig them to fire two flash guns from one unit switched to RX mode, as I discovered by accident the other day while figuring out how to mount one of these attached to an old Nikon SB-24 onto an adaptor bracket for a Bowens soft box. The lead I have, is fitted with a spare hotshot connection. I plugged in a second flash & it was triggered too. That’s cool.
