Remove the battery cover door from the receiver and install two AAA batteries. Replace the door. The transmitter comes with a pre-installed battery.

If your flash uses a PC sync cable, attach the cable to the PC sync socket which is located on the side of the receiver. For use with studio lights plug in the PC sync cable into the receiver and connect the ¼-inch converter to the opposite end of the cable. Plug the ¼-inch converter into your studio lights.
Attach the receiver and flash unit to your tripod or light stand by screwing it onto the ¼-inch tripod mount on the receivers L-bracket, located on the bottom of the device. If your tripod or light stand has a hot shoe attachment. You can slide the receiver onto the hot shoe clip also using the receivers L-bracket.
Switch the channel numbers on the receiver and the transmitter to the same setting. On the receiver the channel numbers are located on a small blue panel on the front of the device. The channel numbers on the transmitter are also located on a small blue panel but on the bottom of the device. Press the test button located on top of the transmitter; the LED on the receiver will flash briefly to signal that the units are working together.
Slide the transmitter onto the hot shoe of your camera just as you would a regular flash and begin taking photographs.

I have been a professional photographer for 15 years. I have used Cowboy Studio slaves all 10 of those years, do they last forever, no. But at this price who cares. They work flawlessly, ours general last about 5 years. I can replace these a lot for the price of one of the expensive brands. No bells and whistles just a good solid slave.
It does one thing and it does it very well. I bought this wireless remote to trigger the Broncolor Flashman power packs I bought in 1984 with a Nikon D700. It works perfectly. The range is more than adequate for my studio and is not blocked by flats and reflectors. It does not have some of the functionality or range of the Pocket Wizard system, but if you don't need the features, this product is a great buy.
They were dead on arrival. Very cheap build quality. The screw holding the receiver halves together was rusty. Bought the Yongnuos for a few dollars more and am very pleased with them. They are far superior.
Works relatively well, fired about 90% of the time when using the button to trigger manually and 100% of the time on the hotshoe. Died during a shoot after 4 prior shoots with it.
Pretty unhappy with the longevity of this product. I'd ask them to send me another one but I don't want to deal with this again. Just going to replace it with a high end product.

no drama and nothing fancy. Put two batteries in the receiver. Turn the on off switch on the receiver to 'on'. Plug it in. Slide the transmitter in the hot shoe of your camera and it works.
These are amazing! Fire consistently every single time! For this price it's a total steal! After spending a fortune in several cyber sync that kept failing I decided to try something different! I figured they would be junk but total opposite! Highly recommend!
cheap price cheap product. misfires alot, i dont use it anymore, it just mis fires way to much. should send it back but for 25 bucks not worth the hassle
