Wireless Flash Triggers

[Jay_A]

I currently trigger my speedlights using the built in feature of my 600D, but find I'm very limited by range and angle at the moment. So I'm looking for a cheap and reliable wireless flash trigger so I can make better use of my lastolite ezybox for outdoor work and would appreciate info or experience anyone may have on the matter.

Cheers

Cheap ebay jobs would work, or if you want ETTL, then pocket wizards are a (much) more expensive option.

Yep, I've used cheap eBay ones. They're good for about 10 metres of triggering, and if you drop them, you don't care.

The 600D's inbuilt trigger not too good then?

I think it's IR? So the camera needs to be able to see the front of the flash.

Ebay cheep ones are good, I've ran 2 flashes off them before with no problems.

Indeed. Alright for close quarter stuff indoors, but it's really limiting.

Pocketwizard Flex System. Ballerspec y0. TTL can be very useful.

Sorry if this is off-topic, but does anyone know which of the eBay triggers fit the Nikon D90?

Are these a good job?
