Pixel Opas Transceiver

The Radio Trigger Market is just flooded nowadays and plenty of people are confused as to what trigger it is that they should be spending their hard earned cash on?

For example I know that there is a MASSIVE amount of photographers out there that are simply if not over the moon with their Yong Nuo RF 602 Raido Triggers.  Then on the other side of the coin we have those other photographers who simply just won't shoot with out their triggers being the big brand names like Pocket Wizards.

When UK Highland Photography first sent me out the Pixel Bishops, then I have to admit I was pretty "unsure" about Pixel Products.... that was unto I put the Pixel Bishops and the Pocket Wizards head to head with each other and was very shocked at my findings.  Basically the Pixel Bishops done exactly as they did say they would do on the box.  However, the big brand name Pocket Wizards failed to do exactly what it is that they claimed their product could do.

Now moving on, yes the Pixel Opas Transceiver does look like a Pocket Wizard.  But people for real the Pixel Opas just feels so much better build than a Pocket Wizard.  The Pixel Opas is solid, if I dropped my Pocket Wizards then I'd expect them to shatter / break.  But I've got this feeling that if I dropped my Pixel Opas then it would just gain a cosmetic scratch and nothing much more.

In my honest opinion then the Pixel Opas is what the Pocket Wizard 11 should of been.  I mean I have got "options", for example I can activate my speedlites via a hot shoe on the Opas or I can use a PC sync cord if I really wanted to.  There is something about the Opas that I just like.... it's sexy, sleek, well built, comes with an excellent case to keep it protected, has all the cables that one would need.  Again in my honest opinion the Opas is exactly the kind of trigger that kicks the Pocket Wizards back side.  I spent £360 on my 2 Pocket Wizard Plus 11's and it eats me up inside to know that with triggers like the Opas on the market then I could of got 4 triggers for the same amount of money and would of had more options with regards to working with them. e.g. Hot Shoe, PC Sync Cord etc......

Since I've been writing / making videos for review of Pixel products then I have to say that I am becoming more and more of a fan of Pixel products.  For example if I had a Wedding to shoot tomorrow then the reality is I would 100% be taken my Pixel products with me in order to get the job done.  Watch the Video below guys and see for your-selfs just how much of a cracker the Pixel Opas really is.
