Interfit Strobies iSync 4 Trigger & Receiver 

Pitting this simple little Strobies kit against some of the sexier set-ups here is almost cruel, but in fairness, the Interfit i Sync 4 has a lot to offer. It’s the smallest and lightest pairing here. Although its 30-metre range trails the competition, it’s enough for most scenarios. There are four available channels to avoid interference, or the receiver can be triggered by flash burst.
You can’t have it all for this kind of money, though: the Interfit Strobies i Sync 4 will only manage a single zone of flashguns and there’s no remote power control or TTL functionality. The build quality isn’t inspiring, either.
Interfit Strobies i Sync 4 - Accessible price for the kit; extra receivers. But its only offers manual flash
triggering over a short distance.

Phottix Odin TTL

This set-up is far from cheap, but you get bang for your buck. It immediately impresses with a large backlit LCD, similar to what you’d find on a high-end flashgun. This gives you control over three groups of flashguns in four frequency channels with A:B ratio adjustment, and allows you to remotely set their flash head zoom controls as well as power.
Available in Canon, Nikon and Sony variants, the Odin will wirelessly transmit TTL signals, and it can be configured to control one flashgun group manually while another uses TTL. It’s also one of the few triggering systems to support high speed sync capabilities.
Phottix Odin TTL -  Its a terrific triggering system that’s worth every penny.  Feature-packed; well-built; easy to control. But the menus aren’t the fastest to navigate; no flashgun pass-through.

PocketWizard MiniTT1, FlexTT5 & AC3  

PocketWizard is a name that carries plenty of kudos in this sector, and it’s easy to see why with this pro-level combo. The MiniTT1 will transmit Canon E-TTL or Nikon i-TTL metering signals to one or more FlexTT5 receivers over a 240-metre range or up to 365 metres with basic triggering.
There’s also full high-speed sync with compatible flashguns, allowing for super-fast shutter speeds up to 1/8,000 sec. The AC3 ZoneController lets you remotely control flashguns, but pushes the price to a level that’s hard to justify over the Phottix.
PocketWizard is a top-notch triggering system,  flawless performance and full compatibility with advanced features. But it’s starting to look overpriced , underwhelming build; plastic hotshoe mounts..
