I really enjoyed the freedom that the FC-W wireless remote control gave me. I used the fogger outdoors in photographing a large area and had to move around quite a bit. The wired connection did not work for me, I ruined two of them (the plug was pulled too hard and the tip broke). It was also an inconvience. The wireless gave me the freedom to move around and worked flawlessly. I recommend it to all that use the CHAUVET fog machine. Images using the wireless trigger can be seen on flickr using "lotus" "flower" and "fog" keywords....
