While Phottix has had a positive impact on the industry (so far) with some niche products and competitive-to-lower pricing (for the most part), I don’t know who their market is for this shutter release. Being as spendy as it is, don’t they know there are many 2.4ghz options out there that can do nearly as much for much less? The timer function is cool, but most who need this employ the cheaper, wired remotes anyways.
A hundred bucks is about fifty too much, I think.
The two stage: for autofocus and shutter is cool. And, it is different that others that are available.
When’s the $29,99 version hitting eBay?
I wouldn’t mind picking one up but their site isn’t secure and these days only an idiot would put their personal info and cc info over the net unencrypted. I checked and they don’t seem to offer ssl with a signed and verified cert, too bad as it seems like a nice unit.
Looks like Amazon has them via Ace though. Might have to try one out.
Phottix *is* the cheap eBay seller. I have one of the older models and it does what I need. Seems like they have a handful of products that do the same thing, would be nice to see a comparison matrix or something. Plato / Cleon / Strato / Aion / etc
