Product Description
Note: This listing is for the KING Rx (RECEIVER ONLY).
The King is a second generation system, with the TTL-control based upon the Knight first released in 2009. Like the Pixel Knight, it does not support the Canon wireless protocol(eg:it can not work as ST-E2 to trigger 430EX flash in remote mode), but works by making the remote flash think it is in the camera's hot-shoe.
The body is similar to the Pixel Bishop. It uses the 2.4 GHz frequency (unregulated worldwide), and Pixel indicates that has a reach of around 100 meters.
The King provides 7 selectable channels and 3 different groups. For power, both the TX and RX use two AA-sized batteries. Both the TX and RX have a USB-socket to allow firmware updates. Both the TX and RX have a hot-shoe. The RX hot-shoe is for mounting remote Speedlites. However, the TX hot-shoe is not a TTL pass-through shoe, and can not be used to mount an additional Speedlite. Instead Pixel has hinted that they may later introduce a separate control unit (dubbed N-ETTL) that can be mounted in the TX hot-shoe and used like the PocketWizard AC3 Zone Controller.
Additional Features:
The TX has very sparse controls. To set it up you use the camera's external flash func. setting-menu. The following Canon EOS bodies are listed as compatible: 450D, 500D, 550D, 600D, 40D, 50D, 60D, 7D, 5D II, 1D III, 1D IV, 1Ds III. Older Canon DSLRs does not let you control the flash from the camera menu, and compatibility is limited to selecting channel and group on TX. It will then dumb down and operate like a wireless grouping flash trigger such as the Pixel Bishop.
