Alternative to Cactus ?

If you only want to have a dabble at it, then i would consider these:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/wireless-flas...3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66:2|65:7|39:1|240:1318

i have a set. Never done any harm to me, only the odd miss fire but that is it and tbh for the price of them i could live with it. Some may moan and say why are you buying cheaper versions dont waste your money but i say give it ago. Get the equipment you can afford and enjoy taking photos.
 
Dont these only work on studio lights that have a jack-plug socket? What type are needed to plug into a 580 ex II for instance with a PC socket?
 
Have a look around for the newer CTR-301's. They are a newly designed ebay jobby that seem to be getting some good reviews. I've had mine about a month, and they work flawlessly. I am getting 1/200 sync speed, around 125 - 130 feet distance with no misfires or phantom fires. They have an added Optical sensor aswell so are great if you are using them with studio lights. I would sya they are well worth a look.:thumbs:

You're as well buying the Cactus ones if it's just to have a wee play around, failing that spend a bit more and go for a set of Skyports.
