You would need two of those units, one for the camera and another for the flash.

You'll also need a hot-shoe adapter for connecting one of those units to the 430EX.

around the second or third page, it goes into depth about skyports and cybersyncs and stuff.
i ended up purchasing the cybersyncs because they are cheaper than PWs, and according to everyone that has it, they're more reliable than a lot of the other brands.

a hotshoe adapter for your pc cable.

that's what you need. when i ordered, i got 1 transmitter and three receivers but i ordered 4 hotshoe adapters just in case i'll need an extra one for any reason. just to be safe.

if you're going to be using the receivers outdoors, be sure to order the battery powered receiver and not the ac powered one.

the cybersyncs will come will all the necessary cords needed to use the setup. i just don't know if they're good or not. haven't seen anyone complain about them really.

good luck with your wireless setup!
