Wireless flash options

[Bigvin]

Hi everyone

I have a Nikon D5000 and a jessops AFD360 flash.

I've been looking at playing around with OCF and was wondering which cheap wireless triggers I could get that would work. Would possibly like two triggers in case I get another flash.

Are the Ebay ones any good?

The triggers you linked to are pretty awful, although they'd cost you roughly twice as much, a set of RF-602 or RF-603 would be a much better investment.

Thanks Graham

I saw they'd sold over 700 so thought they'd be ok.

Is this the one you're referring to.

Does anyone have any experience with these triggers and the Jessops flash?

Will I have to use manual?

Cheers

Yes you'll have to use your flash on Manual mode

Iv always used cheap eBay ones and they work ok, but if your doing it professionally and getting paid for shoots then get something like pocket wizards

I have found my Cactus V4's to be brilliant and also incredibly reliable. I originally had the V2's which are similar to the ones you have posted and found them very inconsistent.
Build quality is much better on the Version 4's aswell.

I got mine from here, they also offer a two receiver kit which is pretty good value.
