i wonder about these..... how would it support the vertical?

They look funky. I don't know how much they usually cost. Is this a pretty good price? I always wanted to get wireless triggers.

if you're looking for cheap toys, check out <http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.6201>

I wouldn't suggest either of those triggers at dealextreme, just spend the extra money and get the originals from gadget infinity link

They have both hotshoe and pc socket connections, so you won't run into trouble with different types of flash. Plus it seems they are now shipping them with a free flash stand (the tripod thread in the bottom looks useful)

I don't like the looks of these new ones.

1.) They have a threaded hole for a tripod, but you can't use this on a light stand since there is not hotshoe type foot.
2.) There's no PC socket so you'll have to use the hot shoe
3.) They're big

I have the yongnuo ones. I ordered a set of cactus v2's, but got these yong nuo ones instead. Quite disappointed by that, but they work fine. Really flimsy though.

These are more expensive, but they have a good design, are reliable, and have good range.

If you want to keep TTL, only the Radio Poppers will do it.

Are those the triggers you have? How many did you get and how fast was the shipping? (if you did get them from this company).

Thanks.

PS: Senna, answer my PM please! I need some stuff from ya ASAP! Thanks!

Those are the ones I have, I bought them through their ebay store I think, just cause it saved me filling out all my info again. I don't remember how long it took to get them, it wasn't quick, around 3-4 weeks?

Cactus = Gadget Infinity its just a parent company

If I was going to purchase triggers again right now, I would really consider the radiopopper JR's (I think they renamed them, can't remember what it is now)

niforpix 01-14-2009 11:58 PM

Hmm... I'll have to look into those radiopoppers... They sound interesting.

hmmm...those look nice! Not sure how I feel about connecting TWO flashes to one cheap little transceiver...
