You have a huge number of options. If they are the original 430ex's and not the II's you can fire them remotely, but not control the power. They have to be used on manual.

Take a look at Yongnuo (which I use and are great) or Cactus (which I have also used and are great).

I urge you to try and get both flashes off camera.
 
thanks, i had no idea a 430ex on camera can fire another 430 off camera

They can't. If you want auto-TTL and remote control, you need a Master unit on-camera. With some Canons the pop-up flash acts as Master, but assuming you're using 1D4 that's out.

Need more info really. What do you want to do? Auto-TTL or manual? Are those 430EX or EXII guns? Budget.

Hi Hoppy, why not the 622C's, for example?
