China Brand Flash Trigger Called Dison

11 October, 2008 (17:20) | ME lighting equipment | By: a.i. editor

The flash trigger that I use in my photo studio is of a China brand called Dison. You probably have not heard of it unlike PocketWizard from the USA. Neither did I hear of the brand when I first bought it. Since the photo studio lighting retailer included it into my purchase of a 3 kit mono light flash studio, I was more than eager to give the Dison brand a try. It worked like it should when I started using it in my photo studio. Well, at least for the first three weeks. Less than a month of using the flash trigger on a daily basis, the thing died on me.


I was swearing like a mad man for the next few weeks. Yes, I did not immediately take it to the shop although the salesperson told me that I can exchange it with a new replacement because the problem occurred within three months of use. Nonetheless, I finally had it exchanged for a new set. One of the sales men informed me that even with a PocketWizard brand, one might be simply unfortunate to have bought a defective unit. He added that there is usually at least one unit in a box of 100 units that is defective.

In fact studio lighting equipment nowadays is so versatile that you can leave them in the car, unpack & reinstall them at the photo shoot location. Although fixing up the soft boxes is a pain in the arms so you may want to leave them open after the first installation.

I had about five or more things to buy at the Direct Photo store so I had to wait about half an hour for some personal attention from the sales assistant currently out in the field. We talked about the light kit & he showed me the features. I got a flash trigger (valued at about MYR 140) for free in the Tianlai Golden Eagle three light kit package which cost MYR 1500. It’s a China brand but no problem for me as long as the quality is good. The light kit comes with 2 soft boxes, a barn door, a carrying bag, three halogen 50 watt bulbs, color filters, 3 stands, & a bit more.
