New aliens wires popping

the new aliens use a flexible trigger wire (like the totems)

one good thing about the old style aliens is that you can get the wire kits from fixe ... or even repair it with a safety pin yourself

also anyone who replaces wires can do the old style aliens for a few bucks ...

it would be interesting to see if this is the case for the totem basic and new alien evos

i own the regular totems and the shipping prices to spain along with the cost of trigger wire and sling replacements basically makes it more worthwhile to buy new cams on sale

the one thing most folks dont consider when buying fancy cams is the ease of maintenance and repairs, either by a shop in north america or yourself

if you use the cams alot this does become an issue with a few years of use

In looking at the Totem Aliens, if the wire broke, it would be simple enough to fix. I would use the stiff wires and they'd come out just like Aliens but they'd work just fine.
