I want to remotely trigger my flash and I've seen some kits where you put the transmitter on the camera hot shoe and then put your flash on a reciever..... just a basic kit.

Where do I buy this?? Links?
I just want something simple and inexpensive so I can mess around a little.

Can't remember of the top either, but there's a link in strobist.com. I think it's on the page that talks about Pocket Wizards.

PS Can't get strobist.com from work anymore.

gadgetinfinity.com that's the one!

Ebay!

Just search "flash trigger"

You'll get a million Chinese plastiky ones. I use em, they work, but not totally reliably. Start with those, and then maybe get yourself some "pocket wizards" which are much more expensive but are what the journos use.

I've got a 20D and a Sigma 500 flash.....

For the cheap ones that sometimes work, try gadgetinfinity.com

For quality units at a reasonable cost, search B&H for "skyport"

For the top-end industry standard, go to pocketwizard.com
