Fotodiox Releases New Wireless Radio Triggers for Sony NEX Cameras; Trigger That Syncs to 1/8000

Who said that no one would use radio triggers with the NEX cameras? Well, Fotodiox believes there is a market for it, and today they’ve announced their new WonderBurst NEX Radio Flash Trigger and WonderBurst HSS8000 4-in-1 Radio Slave Trigger. You’ll be able to sync the WonderBurst NEX up to 1/160 seconds. Amazingly, the triggers have 16 selectable channels and a 300ft range. The WonderBurst NEX kit includes 1x Transmitter (TX-CA), 1x Receiver (RX-CK), 1x Studio Flash Sync Adapter (1/4″ Plug), 1x PC Sync Cord, 2x AAA batteries and instructions and is priced at $39.95.

But if that hasn’t shocked you, just wait for this. The WonderBurst HSS8000 4-in-1 Radio Slave Trigger can sync to 1/8000; and the company claims that it will work with any flash or strobe according to their press release. Plus whenever you want, it can also work as a camera remote for AF remote triggering, continuous shooting and bulb mode. The Wonderburst HSS8000 kit includes: 1x Transmitter (TX-CA), 1x Receiver (RX-CK), 1x Trigger Cable for the Camera, 1x Studio Flash Sync Adapter (1/4″ Plug), 1x PC Sync Cord, 4x AAA batteries and instructions and is priced at $69.95.

We’ll be asking for a review unit soon.

I’m looking forward to your review should they ship you a set. I just picked up a 5R and this could be just the thing for guerrilla strobist photo shoots! The best I’ve been able to muster so far is a NEX-7, ISO shoe adapter and Paul C. Buff cybersync modules…not nearly as clean and compact a solution.

  I’m going more for the hss8000 but I can inquire about that if you want

From what I just read. Not for the Nex 7. Hope that is not true.

  The 7 has a different hot shoe, and it is correct.

The WonderBurst HSS8000 is NOT for Sony NEX cameras. I though it was on the first read…

  It is for the NEX 3, 5, 5N, 5R. Not for the 6 or 7.
