Congratulations on the purchase of your Impact PowerSlave
Transmitter for Canon / Nikon with Wake-Up feature. This 2.4 GHz
wireless system opens up a new world of options for beginners
and advanced users alike who wish to trigger their devices from
a distance. This product is especially useful for those who want
to trigger their ash inside an Impact Quikbox or other softboxes
using a radio signal, eliminating the need for line-of-sight wireless
connections. It’s also a great solution for photographers interested in
controlling the camera shutter from a wired or wireless trigger.
The Impact PowerSlave’s built-in wake-up function frees the user to
remotely wake a device from a sleep mode to a ready-to-be-triggered
state without having to walk back to the device. The 16 user-selectable
channels help avoid interference from others. The Impact PowerSlave
allows ash sync speeds of up to 1/200 of a second on compatible
cameras, enabling you to take advantage of sync speeds that match
the rating of your camera.
The Impact PowerSlave transmitter wake-up function is available in
separate dedicated models for Canon or Nikon cameras. To make full
use of the device, use only the dedicated hot-shoe ashes that are
compatible with your camera brand.
