Shooting with multiple B10s on a daily basis. If this ting works as intended this is a gift from heaven and worth every penny - ordered one immediately. Changed from generator lights to B10s and only seeing the output on the phone app is a total hassle.

Wow, the ability to mix Profoto and Godox flashes makes this very tempting.

For me, the coolest feature has to be the fact that it will adapt to your settings. If you're shooting from groups to individuals and have to adjust your aperture, or just want to adjust to change your background, it's awesome that the trigger will give you the same power of light that you had previously. It's a feature similar to Eye AF where it's one less thing for you think about, so you can concentrate on getting the best possible image out of your subject.

The Profoto trigger DOESN'T show the power level on the trigger WTF!! For the price you pay for those I'm amazed! Such a simple and basic requirement.

profoto hasnt updated the trigger in like 6 years

I've only used godox. Will be really confusing to read the different power level being displayed. Maybe a firmware can show the manufacturer power settings - 1 to 10 for profoto and 1/128 to 1/1 for godox.

That would be perfect instead of a stupid 00 for 1/1

Love this concept for the trigger! Only thing holding me back from wanting to get this is waiting for the update for other lighting brands and seeing this used more in work scenarios.

For years, I've been shooting with Nikon SB910's on Pocketwizard Flex TT5's controlled by a mini TT1 and a Sekonic L-478dr light meter. The results have be good when the temperamental set-up is cooperating. I often find myself having to power all the devices down and restarting them in a very specific order to get the gear to re-synch. It's just been frustrating to have to stop in the middle of a shoot because the TT5's stopped talking to the TT1. Now that I've seen the Raven, I'm hopeful that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I agree with Lee that it would be a better design to have the selector to remain active by default and to have an option to lock the selector to prevent accidental changes. The only other thing I'd wish for is a lower price tag. Spending $900 for a pair (one for a back-up since the batteries can't be changed out) would be costly. I could better stomach one for $300 or $600 a pair.

Great lesson with perfect AUDIO.

Since it does have a light meter, it's a shame it can't be used to measure and then set light levels, like the PCB cyber commander (or can it? I didn't see anything like that)

A TTL hot shoe would be nice. So you can use flash on the camera! It’s seems very a impressive.system.

I’d buy this, if they make it compatible with Fuji GFX50S II.

I use Canon 600EX-RT flashes and Profoto strobes. It would be nice if there was a way to attach a speedlite in a hotshoe above this so I can use the ETTL on-camera flash and use manual settings on all of the other strobes/flashes. I'm excited to see where this company takes this product.

WOW. And, it is the same price as my profoto trigger..... This just jumped to the top of my list. Just hope the sony version is back in stock sometime soon. Super impressive trigger!

14:00 - Finally get to see your son. Congrats again on the family 🙂

I'd argue the opposite that removable batteries would make it "useless" since the battery life can operate with the light on for 16 hours. Using so many disposable batteries is much more of a hassle and this will last longer than any camera 📷

The price made me choke, I use godox and have no problems, since I can buy 8? of their X-Pro triggers for the price of one of these, I would have to stay away. Not a fan of a built in non replaceable battery either. I shoot multiple days, I bring sets of batteries for the Godox and have no problems. I can see the use if you shoot multiple brands of flashes, I have Neewer strobes from my starting days, then Adorama Strobes which are Godox rebrands, and finally a bunch of Godox speedlights.

@@johnbecker1996 maybe you are, maybe not... Definitely, it is not for anyone with a camera... I will work on checking it this weekend when my unit will come. From what I can see now, the Raven has additional functions. But I might just guess for now. For example all those X-Sync analyses (~8:30), channel (noise level)... What about the PowerTrack feature? And, you are absolutely right, for those who are working with OCF/Speedlights/Strobes for many years, we have equipment from different brands... and now we can use it better way. I like this opportunity. Also, I tried to plan next Monday's creative session on paper... I can use my GODOX X2T-N as a receiver with mounted SB-910, as I would have options to move it from a transmitter role. The price of GODOX V860IIN (closes alternatives to SB-910 but not quite there...) is about 60% of the Raven. P.S. I can say it in theory for now, as I have not a chance to use it in practice...

If i want to use multiple Profotos and multiple Godox flashes, together, Can I set different Groups for those profoto and Godox flashes?

Lol! Thanks for including that photo shoot :p

"Speed Cycle" feature: The Cactus V6ii can do this as well (-> group cycling; two different modes available).

I enjoyed your video, thank you... You kinda stressed your dislike for the pricing, feeling it was overkill. What did you pay for your Profoto trigger? So for a Profoto person, this should be a no brainer, same price basically but 100X more options you can do with this. I love rechargeable lithiums in my strobes and on camera flashes but I do worry about this not having a replaceable battery. If it gets depleted your kinda screwed on location. And what about the 30 day battery life when turned off and in storage? Not a good plan there. This is something for folks that would shoot with this trigger most days. Not the occasional shooter.

Wil broncolor also come to see the light...

It is nice that you can mix different brands of lights but the cost is still up in the Profoto range which is ridiculous. Good and Flashpoint are $85-100.00

Is there any plan for Japanese strobe maker NISSIN to support it?

Hi! Did they fix the limited power level problem you pointed out with firmware? Can I bring a b10x and/or a b10x plus down to 1 (-9 on this thing)? Can I specify the flash model now?

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. If I use Fusion TCL with Canon R5, will trigger GODOX AD600 Pro directly ? Or it need Transreceiver ?

Great looking product! Super slick user interface!

What are people using as the remote shutter release in combination with the Raven or with the other flash units? I've been using Yongnuo RF 603 triggers, along with Yongnuo flashes and the Godox Xt-16 on top to trigger Godox flashes as well (through the godox peanut receivers). I want to move on from Yongnuo, but I haven't found a solid replacement for the Yongnuo RF 603 triggers that have the same small form factor. Godox makes a couple of versions (ex: FC-16) that are only available on ebay and via chinese resellers.

Pocket Wizard (and Raven) are the industry standard. Most guys shooting for Sports Illustrated or any "real" remote camera work are still using Pocket Wizards. That being said, I have always thought companies like Nikon, Canon, Profoto and Godox and basically anyone making strobes or cameras should have a dedicated wireless system. Pocket Wizards are pretty old tech by today's standards and it's wild we can't have an all in one solution for firing strobes and cameras . -P

"PowerTrack" feature: The Cactus V6ii had this + multi-brand TTL compatibility for $95.

The way it shows the power output is just dumb. Just match what the flash is showing. After all you chose which light manufacturer you want, it should just automatically show the same power conversion. Talk about confusing. I'm guessing its because the display on it can't physically do it, especially for the Godox system.

Why the hell is Powertrack not common place on most recently released triggers?!

Its a wonderful piece of kit that I'm eagerly awaiting the Profoto firmware update to use with my A1's. The Fusion team have also been most helpful in lending me a US version of the Pockwizard (for remote use) as the UK version I currently have is not yet compatible.

1. This trigger is nuts, in an awesome way. I feel like, maybe it's been developed to ultimately sell the patents? I honestly wouldn't mind if it were, this is the type of gear we ask for. 2. Nolan is super cute, I hope this is taken the right way, I can't help myself, seems like Lee and Nolan have the same barber ;)
