I've noticed in the last few weddings that my once-reliable phottix strato II triggers are not firing reliably anymore.
I've tested via the following:
Multiple different flashes have been tried, with multiple receivers, multiple transmitters/triggers, both directly on the hot shoe and plugged in through a hot-shoe-mounted Nikon flash. The results are consistently inconsistent now. Doesn't matter if it's a Nikon or a Canon transmitter or receiver, fresh batteries on both, the results are the same. They fire "most" times, and they fail to fire other times.
I've tried them within 3 feet of the camera and 30 feet away. The results are similar.
I'm personally suspecting interference with the frequency they send on.
Unreliability is one of the main reasons (the other reason being too many cords) why I switched trigger systems a long time ago, but that's always expensive.
Has anyone had better reliability with another brand?
