I bought one a little while ago to work on my R5 with my PW Flex TT5s and 430EXII strobes. I love the idea that I can mix and match with other vendors such as Godox and use HSS or TTL across multiple brands. I have found the User Interface interesting, maybe a little clunky at times (Wifi set-up), but for the most part, it works. Fusion has some guides on their website, but I'd love to see some more comprehensive manuals or practical how-to's to solve particular use-case situations.

What a fantastic trigger device and more! Great review. I can only hope Sony is included soon via a firmware upgrade or another model since they have a unique hotshot device. I have switched to the Sony flashes so I can make changes in the camera’s menu. However, these features are really state of the art and have changed the way we can use flash with multiple options and brands.

I think it's fantastic that you are included as a beta tester with that gear. I use Nikon for everything still-image-related. My pocket wizards have been somewhat unpredictable lately. This just may be the answer to my issues. If it is going to lock in on my triggers frequencies then it will certainly be worth it. High-Speed Sync is also important to me with insect photography. It's going to be replacing my AC3 and MiniTT1. The channel interference indicator will be worth its weight in gold if it stops that annoying misfire situation. With an entire wedding party in front of me, I can't be diddling with the flash controllers. So happy to use your affiliate link and I absolutely wish you all the best!!!! Thumbs UP. I use the FlexTT5 units for my speedlights (SB910 & SB5000), So the Flex TT5 has only C1, C2, or Off.. so how do the raven channels work?

This looks phenomenal

Very nice thanks. Its worth mentioning this is also compatible with native PCB cybersync receivers (besides PW MC2 on Einstein). It looks like this will work with even the older battery / ac powered type that are used on Alien Bee and White Lightning units. I'm curious Mike if you've ever mixed different brands of lighting or just stuck with PCB Einstein/Digibee (prior to link).

Nice job, I been looking for this, great job thanks for sharing

Hi Mike, do you know if the Raven has been updated so it can do HSS with the Link without using the TT5 adapter? Thanks

Ok, great review on the Raven trigger. It looks like all the Godox, Pocket Wizard, and other triggers are obsolete now. This unit does what all others do plus way more. Seems like the best trigger especially if starting the off camera flash shooting or if multiple brands of camera and flash are involved. Thanks for posting.

The PW AC3 was only able to control the Einstein from full power down 1/64 power. Does the Raven allow full control down to 1/256 power?

How do i get this to control my alienbees power ratios?

Hi! Can I trigger one Profoto d2 1000 and Westcott FJ400 + FJ200 at the same time simultaneously (in one go)? Thanks in advance

Does anyone have experience with Canon R series and Buff lights with Pocket Wizards?

Thanks for the information. I am still a little confused on compatibility. I believe that the Raven only works with pockewizards that have been upgraded to the E release. Is that true? I have a ton of Einstein lights with the MC2 receiver that I trigger with a Plus III. If it only works with the E release, then I will have to upgrade them all for $10 each. So not terrible, but now the trigger in the sekonic light meter won't trigger my flash for metering. Sekonic says they will not be developing a firmware release to use the E frequencies. Any thoughts?

This doesn’t work for Sony?

I forgot to ask you can just trigger the link like the digibee with that trigger? It happens that I also own the PW tt5 That one will be only if you need hot sync with Link correct?

how about the alienbees 1600?

Perfect I hate the Cyber commander !!!

I understand Sekonic RT-32CTP Radio Transmitter Module work only with Pocketwizrd. Will RT32CTL will work with New Radio Trigger By Fusion TLC by Raven ? As Mentioned Fusion TLC by Raven is designed to work with Profotto and GODOX flashes. Do I need separate Transreceiver for my GODOX AD600 Pro if I use Fusion TCL? Or Else It directly Trigger GODOX AD 600 Pro without help of receiver.

Can you trigger PW with profoto and Paul c buff with their own receiver at the same time using this raven trigger?

$449? Nah.

Hey Mike, ive been using pocketwizard since 2004, and paul buff since 1999. im currently using the Pw plus iiie, and im having horrible reliability issues. got the E firmware update. even my sekonic isnt triggering the flash sometimes. have you ever had that problem? i noticed in the video at 6:40 you showed the raven can show you which channels have most interference. i wonder if this could be the solution. i never had problems until i got these newest devices and firmware. i thought it would be the most reliable
