Rather easy to use. It has many features, but I confess to not having need for some. I especially like the lightning mode, it often sees lightning strikes that I don't. I recommend it, I've had mine for several years and not yet had any problems.

Have one and added the liquid drop attachment. Has a laser trigger, a light trigger (lightening), sound trigger and about 1/2 dozen other triggers I have not tried yet. It's fun to play with and you can get some very interesting results. Once you learn how it works, you can find all kinds of creative applications.

I agree. I love mine although I don't use it often. Works great on Sony a7 series and a6500.

Click this link to go directly to buy one. http://www.plutotrigger.com?afmc=1g0 It helps me a little if you do.

I was chatting with a guy who used the water drop accessory. He said it took about 1000 shots to get it tuned. So I guess patience is in order. Even then, when he goes to demo it takes almost 20 shots to tweak.

I like my Pluto, had it for several years. Easy to use.

I agree with the statements above worth the cost. Make sure you order the right dongle for your camera. http://www.plutotrigger.com/?afmc=8d

I purchased one last year. So far I have only used it for water droplet photography. Yet to explore other modes. It took me a while to set it up and understand the controls. But once set up, it was easy and fun to use. Attaching one of the many pictures I took with different droplet settings, flash positions and colors.
I have to admit, I did not attempt to set it up again once I took it down for my kid’s birthday party in the basement!

This is very interesting. Uh Oh!
I feel an attack of GAS coming on and rearing its ugly head.

I love mine, but I haven't used many of the features. I wanted a wireless trigger for my d500, and it was just a little more than the Nikon one with a whole lot more features.
