Phottix Ares II Receiver

Phottix Ares II Receiver

The Phottix Ares II Receiver is a reliable way to trigger off-camera flash, whether you’re working with hot shoe flashes or studio strobes. It offers excellent compatibility, straightforward operation, and dependable performance for photographers who prefer manual lighting control. Please note, this is the receiver only, a transmitter is required and sold separately.

Why We Like It

The Ares II is a practical choice for photographers who want a no-fuss, affordable trigger system that simply works. Unlike some overly complex triggers, this keeps things simple while still offering useful extras such as 16 channels, 4 groups, and secure Digital ID codes to avoid interference. With a range of up to 150 metres, it’s more than enough for most studio and location setups. We also like that it plays nicely with other Phottix gear, so if you’re already invested in the system, it integrates seamlessly. If you’re just starting out with off-camera flash, this receiver is an easy step into more creative lighting setups without a steep learning curve.
