Pixel King Pro for Nikon wireless radio trigger set consists of separate transmitter and receiver units, with King X receivers being compatible with Nikon SB910, SB700 flash speedlites, as well as Nikon i-TTL compatible flashes like Pixel’s own X800N Standard for example.
With the transmitter you are able to control the power of three different groups. It is also possible to mix TTL and manual modes simultaneously. The Pixel King Pro share a number of features with most other TTL triggers currently available on the market, such as HSS and TTL, but also manages to distinguish itself among the competition. On the transmitter a TTL pass-through hot-shoe can be found and it is possible to set a HSS pre-sync timing.
The new King Pro now has an elaborate metal frame inside the plastic case, providing a solid metal connection from the foot underneath, right through to the hot-shoe on top. So all screws for the foot and hot-shoe are threaded securely into metal, instead of the softer plastic case as most other triggers generally are. This is most likely designed to reinforce the pass through hotshoe, and for a flash mounted on top of the camera where the case can receive the most stress. Though this appears to be intended as a more solid receiver option as well.

Older cameras without a flash control menu at all should still be compatible and have full functions as well now.
Flash speedlites compatible with Pixel King Pro triggers: Nikon, Metz, Pixel, Yongnuo. Flash speedlites of other brands will also probably work, but we can not say for sure since we did not test them all.
Note: The Pixel Opas and Bishop manual triggers are not compatible with the King Pro (as they are with the previous Kings).
