    Flash triggers



    Does anyone (Sean?) have experience with these:

    Seems to be exactly what I've been looking for (for a long time):

    <div class="col-main"]
    <div class="product-view"]

    * 100m+ range</div>
    <div class="product-view"]* powered by 2 x AAA batteries (Transmitter and Receiver)</div>
    <div class="product-view"]* 1/250 sec sync speed</div>
    <div class="product-view"]* can handle high voltage flashes (up to 300V) - this one is very important to me as I have an old flash which can reach up to 250V</div>
    <div class="product-view"]* relatively cheap - 55EURO which is $75 (for both transmitter and receiver if I'm not wrong)
    </div>
    <div class="product-view"]
    </div>
    <div class="product-view"]
    </div>
    <div class="product-view"]Pic:
    </div>
    <div class="product-view"]
    <div id="tabs333"]
    <div class="product-collateral"]
    <div id="panel_desc1" class="panel"]
    <div class="description"]
    <div class="std"]



    </div>
    </div>
    </div>
    </div>
    </div>
    </div>
    </div>

    No experience whats-so-ever. I'd suggest combing through the strobist flickr group discussions.

    It looks like you have to have a flash mounted on the transmitter to make it work. If that's the case, its only worth buying if you don't want to spend the money on a 580EXII for your master flash, an ST-E2, or if you need the 100m range. You may be able to fire flashes behind you though, without a direct line of sight which would would be helpful. Its certainly interesting.





    Found a review of them. Seem pretty cool. You don't need to have a flash mounted on the transmitter which is nice.
