Introduction
The H-430 is designed and manufactured by Ojecoco Photographic Technology Co., Ltd, a specialist
producer of photographic equipment and accessories. This wireless trigger set features separate
transmitters and receivers. It is multi-functional, with wireless synchronized triggering, wireless shutter
triggering, wired shutter triggering, TTL pass-through, grouping and camera relay shooting. It is compatible
with the H-550. The H-430’s multi-functions are compatible with the H-550 (the H-430RX can also receive
HSS signals from the H-550).

The H-430TX is available with two differently configured underside male hot shoes (with matching topside
female hot shoes on both TX and RX):
