Pocket Wizard vs. Radio Popper

[ryantelford]

I am looking into getting wireless transmitters for my wedding setup. Someone tripped on my cord last time and my flash fell. Yikes! No damage to the light but I want to eliminate that problem for the future. I have 2 Promaster 300c studio lights. I shoot a Canon 30d with a 580 EX Speedlite. Does anyone have a preference on either the Pocket Wizard or Radio Popper? I have read the Popper has an awesome range, easily 80 feet!


Secondly, what equipment do I need to have a proper setup for both on-camera and on-external flashes?

My suggestion? Search the strobist flickr group discussions. I would give a detailed opinion, but it's getting late and I'm quite tired. :-)

I recommend Cybersyncs.

I'd go with the radiopoppers if I was going to fire other off camera flashes or alien bee strobes. There were interference issues and range issues with the smaller pocket wizard units. That may have changed by this date but those are some major glitchs that I want no part of.


Like mentioned before I pulled up a guys radiopopper review from Flickr so read this:
