I purchased 3 of these radio slaves about 3-years ago. I use them for event photography and to fire off my two strobe lights. Sometimes they will trigger the flashes unexpectadly or sometimes they fail to trigger the flash when I trip the shutter on my camera.
I photographed a function recently and the radio slaves would not work even after I replaced all of the batteries. I had to resort to using a sync cord from my camera to my strobe. This was a nuisance because I nearly tripped over the cord several times. When I got home I tried them, and off course, they worked.

Powerful transceiver, easy to use, all purpose to triggering in studio, outdoors and other locations, short and long distances. You need an Pulsar Trigger Insert Card in one of the Bowens Gemini and the other flash-head you must to use like "slave" option "cell".

This product is very reliable. prior to owning this i always was concerned if the flashes went off, so i was focused on the equipment not the creative process. Now i focus on the creative process and the Pulsar radio units take care of the technical part. First time every time. It shows in my work.

I use this to sync wirelessly between my Nikon D300S and my Bowens Gemini 500 lights. My set of 2 does the job fabulously from whatever angle I happen to be at, no matter what is in the way. Love it!

These units are dependable and easy to use. The only thing I don't like about them is the stubby antenna. It sticks out in a way that makes the item cumbersome to pack. Instead of just being able to put 3 or 4 in a lens compartment of your camera bag you'll have to get an extra case just to protect that stubby little antenna. It's also unfortunate that a hot shoe isn't included in the design. If they got rid of the antenna and added a hot shoe it would be perfect!

I recently purchased a Bowens Pulsar transceiver and I love it. The product works exactly as it should and set up is incredibly easy! I would recommend this product to virtually anyone.

I've been using the bowens pulsar triggers for years at my studio. They work a treat, very reliable and last forever!

However, when they aren't taken care of, the plastic at the base tends to break too easily and the batteries fall out. Which is why we'll be taking more care of our new ones.

I use the Pulsar radio slave with my studio lights. I have been tethered by a cord for so long, it was a tremendous step up for me. The Pulsar's are easy to use, and allow me to roam anywhere int he room and still have control over my lights. No more worrying about someone else tripping my strobe with their camera flash. Great product, I'm glad I spent the money.

This is an excellent product. I have not used every feature, but this product definately serves its purpose ..... I recommend this product ....

This is the first product of its kind that I've used and so far so good. I took these babies out last night for some test shots and so far I've had no problems.
I'm still wondering how they will work in extreme cold weather. No mis fires so far. And they were easy to set up. The only thing I could comment on as for now is the housing. They don't seem fragile but they also don't look very durable. I'll update once I've used them for a while.

very easy to use, have many options to work with 4 Radio Slave Tranceivers, the antenna may be damaged because you can not get.

Comments about Bowens Pulsar Radio Slave Tranceiver:

It is a great system and it works perfect. I love the design, plastic, but well done. The only thing that i dont like it's the cable that it comes to plug into the monolights. It doesn't fit properly, the pc end its not strong to keep it plugged, so you move the monolight , and it disconnect itself. So i had to use tools to put it harder and it works, but I.m gonna buy not the pc cable. a mono cable with two male ports. That's something cool of this system. You have a lot of port options.

My first pick was the pocket wizard, however the price was questionable to me. After purchasing and trying the tranceiver of over 100+ shoots, I concluded this was an excellence choice. I do like the low profile of the tranceiver and the easy feature to setting it up. It was so simple to setup that I didn't bother with the direction.

In my crowded studio with too many wires everywhere, Including the cable from my Phaseone back to the computer, this unit frees up floor space and reduces possible accidents by allowing me to get rid of the sync cord to my flash units. These things work really well (one unit for each end of the old cord) between my camera and my Bowens mono lights, easy set up that gets out of the way (with the use of accessory clips that attach to the flash shoe attachment on each unit) and an unobtrusive red LED letting you know they're on, but they do not with my Norman 24/24 power packs. From the LEDs I can see the synch is transmitting but the Normans ignore it, probably a voltage issue.

At first I could not get the unit to trigger trying all the channels and frequencies. Eventually it started to fire my lights without really knowing what I did different than before, but since then it has worked fine. I am just a little worried someday it may do it again is my only negative. Other than that it is very convenient and easy to use.
