The Raven universal lighting and camera trigger is a new product from FusionTLC. It allows you to adjust the power of your lights, right from the top of your camera. I have been beta testing this for over a month, and wanted to crate a First Look or "mini review" of the Raven, primarily in relation to how this tool could be used with either an Einstein or LINK flash unit from Paul C. Buff when using a PocketWizard Power MC2 or FlexTT5 for Nikon cameras.
What makes the Raven unique is that it is compatible with most Profoto, Godox, and PocketWizard products, and even allows you to fire strobes from two different brands simultaneously. This "mini review" doesn't go into detail of all of the features of the Raven such as SyncView, Wakeup Mode, Time-lapse mode, MultiPop, and others, but it does cover the basics for remotely triggering strobes and flash units from other brands, even with the latest mirrorless cameras from Nikon such as the Nikon Z6ii and Z7ii. This trigger is currently only available for Nikon, but a Canon version will be available in Summer of 2021, along with a Sony version to follow.
