Pixel King and Pixel Opas Compatibility
The Pixl King and Pixel Opas units are meant to be compatible. You can trigger a speedlite mounted to an Opas transceiver using the King transmitter. While this is working perfectly with my 7D I've got trouble with my 5DMKII. Read more after the jump.

Pixel Opas Review
I was searching for a replacement of my old RF-602 radio triggers. The RF-603 are no option because of the missing ability to mount them directly to a light stand and the disability to fix the transmitter to the cameras hot shoe. After a little research I found the Pixel Opas triggers. They are manual radio triggers and offer some benefits.

Background light
Some weeks ago I ordered some Pixel Opas flash triggers. To cut a long story short the Pixel Opas is a manual flash trigger in transceiver design. They replaced my old RF-602 and I'll add a short review of them later. But that blog entry is more about creating my own lightening for an event.

Review Yongnuo YN565EX
Finally it has arrived. About two weeks ago I ordered a Yongnuo YN565EX speedlite. After reading some promising reviews about this flash unit I decided to get one. The box contains the speedlite, a protection bag, a ministand, a bouncer (which was surprisingly because I didn't order one) and a short manual.
