This Hensel Strobe Wizard Plus FREEMASK Transmitter, when used with a Hensel flash head incorporating FREEMASK, wirelessly triggers the head and automatically varies the flash output in sequential exposures to create a cut-out mask. Additionally, this transmitter can be used like the standard Strobe Wizard Plus transmitter to wirelessly trigger Integra or Expert series flash heads with built-in receivers. Flash power and switching the modeling lamp between FULL/OFF/PROP (proportional) can also be accomplished.

Hensel Strobe Wizard Plus Freemask Reviews
I like it but...

I see others have some negative reviews about the strobmaster wizard transmitter which is the sibling to the Freemask transmitter so here is my two cents. I own two Profoto transmitter/recievers (one AirSync and one AirRemote)which are better than the Hensel product in the following ways: more robustly built with antenna in interior vs antenna in exterior (small metal loop antenna on the bottom of Hensel), Profoto good for 300 meters vs 40 meters, Profoto can sync at maximum 320/sec vs 250/sec for DSLR, can be transmitter or reciever, two Profoto units can be set up as a wireless camera shutter release with one as a transmitter and the other as a reciever, Profoto can increase/decrease power levels in 1/10th AND 1-stop increments vs just 1/10th increments for Hensel, Profoto have 8 channels and 6 groups vs 3 channels and 1 group for Hensel, Profoto use 2 AAA batteries(12 hours @320/sec & 140 hours @250/sec) which are easy to access vs odd ball lithium battery where a screwdriver is required for replacement, Profoto has audio feedback when pressing buttons and Hensel does not, Profoto is tight fitting on my Nikon D3s hotshoe and tightening of the lock collar isn't even necessary because it would never fall off but Hensel product slides on and off with very little effort so you must lock the collar tight to keep it from coming off if you're at an outdoor shoot and the camera is being moved around a lot. I purchased the Freemask transmitter because I'm using it for freemasking the Hensel method so I had no other choice. I'm really careful with my gear so I don't think I'll be having any problems with the Hensel Freemask transmitter. The two things I really like about the Freemask transmitter is there is no on/off switch(it's always in standby and the battery is supposed to last 1-2 years!) and it's a very small unit. I'm happy:-)

question
Is the Strobe Master Hensel light meter required for this to work with the Integra system or will the TTL system in my D7100 be sufficient?
While the Hensel Strobe Master Light Meter is not required for use with the Hensel Integra strobes, if you wish to meter your strobes' output, then a handheld incident meter of some type would be needed. The Nikon D7100 DSLR camera's internal meter is designed to read reflected light, not incident light, and is only designed to meter Nikon's i-TTL flashes or units used on the camera's hot shoe. The whole point of using studio strobes is for the ability to manually set the flash exposure for consistency, but SLR/DSLR cameras are not designed to calculate studio strobes' exposure (though there are a few new options that have recently been released that are starting to add TTL capability, though this is not the norm for most studio flashes). If you do not wish to use a handheld light meter, some people simply take the image, then use the histogram on the rear of the camera to check exposure. While this is not as accurate as using a light meter, it is an option if you do not yet own or wish to purchase a light meter. So, long story short, no, the Nikon D7100 DSLR camera's internal meter will not meter studio strobe lighting.l

question
how do i Change the battery?
The battery is accessible by removing a screw at the bottom, which holds the top and bottom of the unit together. You would need a CR-2 3V lithium battery to serve as a replacement. Please see the link to the battery for reference: http://bhpho.to/1Hpd1HN

question
Will this Freemask Transmitter mount on the top of my Nikon D7100 and will it work with my D7100?
Yes; as the Nikon D7100 DSLR camera has a standard ISO hot shoe, the Hensel Strobe Wizard Plus FREEMASK Transmitter may be used on the Nikon D7100 DSLR camera to wirelessly trigger Hensel strobes that have the Hensel Strobe Wizard Radio Receiver built into the strobe/power pack, or which have the Hensel Strobe Wizard Plus Radio Slave Remote Control Receiver (B&H # HESWPR) attached to the unit.
