Triggers for Sony A200

[Paterson Photo]

Hi Guys, Looking for a little advice here

I've got a Sony A200 with a Sony Alpha HVL-F42AM Flash.

I can trigger the flash via the pop up flash on the camera. However, I'd like to get some triggers so that I can illuminate the inside of a car whilst being outside (As soon as the flash is out of sight of the camera, it doesn't work.) I've seen a few sets of triggers on Amazon, has anyone had any experience with them?

I'm not looking to spend a whole load of money either! Just looking for something that would give me that capability.

Any help/suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

Hi Scott
This is what I use

I have used with the Jessops 360AFD and Sony F42AM and also my studio lights, with no real issues.

Using with the F42AM though, the flash needs to be mounted on the camera first and switched on, before putting the flash on the receiver.

Thanks. That looks like what i'm after! Not too expensive either

Also, someone recommended me using Cactus V4 triggers. However, it seems they don't work with Sony cameras and Flashes. Can anyone confirm this?

Great tip, wish I had worked that one out for myself DOH...
