Heads up kids:

 This little wonder gadget for remotely firing your strobes, at a fraction of the cost of Pocket Wizards, has a fatal flaw if you own a 5D.





I've shot many many photos with my radio slave unit with the 10D and 20D and the 1Ds cameras with no problem.

Bought a 5D, brand new, went and shot a whole bunch of portraits, and found that the transmitter fired back enough voltage to disrupt the camera a bit.

All along the top edge of the images was a band of serious digital noise. about 90 pixels deep, and running the entire length of the long edge.

Watch Out!
