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.

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.
