Now that I have reliable triggers (read: PocketWizard PLUS II
I was about to throw them in the garbage when I had the idea that they may be useful to someone. When I told the idea to my girlfriend her first reaction was: “You keep complaining about these triggers, why would somebody want these?”. Poor girlfriend, she is totally missing the point!

- There is nothing like having to take the same shot 5 times in a row to learn the true meaning of patience.
- UFitF (Unpredictable Flashes in the Face) also helps to build retinal light resistance which might prove useful if you ever have to duel Jessica Alba in an eye starting challenge.
- Limited transmission range ensure proper training in the ancient art of eyeball measurements.
- Finally, if you ever needed a reason to buy a real set of remote triggers, playing with these for a few months will.
