Wireless flash triggers - cheap or expensive? what do you use?

[Stuart.Atkinson]

Im after a cheap wireless flash trigger set for my canon and wondered what you all use? do you use expensive equipment? or do you find the cheap sets just as good?
Im not worried about TTL metering for the flashes, just a reliable one.

I've got some Blazzeo triggers from eBay. They cost around £10 with tigger an two receivers. They haven't skipped a beat in the 2+ years I have had them.

Pocketwizzards are the other end of the scale and are also highly regarded.

I've got a cheapo ebay set:

Fantastic for the money, only had a few miss fires but otherwise great.

Perfect ! thanks for the replies ! Unfortunately AndyRS, the pocket wizards are out of my budget for now lol!
how much were yours shadowness?

Same as Dan. Look very similar too.

I think replacing the batteries (I seem to forget to turn them off ) has cost me more than the actual items.

About £20 I think.

[Stuart.Atkinson]

Revels, what batteries do they take? AAA ?
What ones did santa get you Nick?

 

[Revels]

I'm not sure what the techy number is but it's a bit fatter than an AA and about half as tall

I think one of them cost me £8!!
