^ This is the unit I'm assuming he uses (he can correct me). The search keywords is something along the lines of "Wireless Remote Flash" on Ebay.

New flash trigger on Ebay!
So I was browsing around Ebay again looking at the Cactus V2s and deciding whether I really wanted to get them.. I never really like the design and the horror stories kept me from clicking "buy it now". haha so I looked around last week and found these things. pretty interesting if you asked me.

I was skeptical at first. I knew how the Cactus worked but I wanted to know if these were totally new and how reliable. So I did a quick search on the Strobist Flickr and there were two thread on it. a lot of people said very good things. no misfires if they tried. high sync speeds and 125ft distances (max). http://evoempire.org/style_emoticons...lt/dribble.gif
I just ordered a set right now because all week the shop has been closed due to Chinese New Years. xD I never thought I'd be so annoyed at my own cultural holiday. http://evoempire.org/style_emoticons...lt/whistle.gif
I should get them later this week so after I play around with them I'll post up my impressions. http://evoempire.org/style_emoticons/default/shifty.gif
