Wireless Triggering: What do you use?

[telles75]

Ok here's a quick poll just to get a sense to what gear is veryone using to trigger their lights. I cannot list every single triggering system out there so I will be only going for the major brands.

[jeromego]

There are a lot of options when it comes to wireless triggering depending on your budget.... most of the commonly used and more expensive ones are Pocket Wizards.

There are also the Cybersync and Skyport which are also good and are cheaper than the PW
then there are the Cactus...not so reliable but cheap.

[darosk]

eBay poverty wizards :)

[Ainoko]

Cybersyncs.

[Natural Imagez]

Cybersyncs here and love em

[*Knowledge*]

PW Mark II, oops, I meant Plus II.

[OneStrobe]

"Poverty" Wizards from eBay, but upgrading soon to RP JrX

[pcunite]

Only the best... :)

[dtsang]

i have cybersyncs and poverty wizards

[Familiaphoto]

CyberSyncs here...very happy.

[hawk911]

Interfit radio triggers- got a trigger and 2 receivers for $125. Works very well for me!

[blackshadow]

At present either Cactus V4s or Canon IR.

I will be moving to the Radio Popper JrX Studio system once they are available in Australia.

Seems AlienBees are kicking some butt.. wow I thought Pocket Wizards would dominate this poll.. I am an Elinchrom Skyport user myself , but I have owned PW PLus II and Mini and Flex before but sold it all. I got to say I love the reliability of the Skyports and from all the bunch I think they are the sexiest design of all :)

[Veemac]

Another +1 for Cybersyncs here.

[TweakMDS]

Cactus v4, and they work well for me (using Nikon 2 x SB-24, 26, 28DX and 2 x 80DX).

However, I decided to no longer invest in more receivers (have 3) and just use optical slaves if I need more for now (so I can trigger 6 flashes in total).
I'm planning to upgrade to either RF-602's - which seem to be working well for people - or get Radiopoppers JrX - with the remote power adjust.

[lukeap69]

YongNuo CTR-301P and now RF-602.

[mindchatter]

I went from ebay triggers to CyberSync's and never looked back. I can't see why anyone would spend so much money on PW's?

I bought PW's because I do occasionally want to have the ability to use ETTL on my Canon speedlite. Most of the time, I am just using them as 'dumb triggers' for my AlienBees, but it's nice to have the use of ETTL also. Also, the build quality is good. To be honest though, I have not used any of the other triggers at all, so I cannot comment on them.
By the way, mindchatter....I looked at your 'rceye' site.....whoa....THAT is some cool stuff ! I'd like to try some of that high viewpoint stuff.....very good !

[tupper]

All PW Flex's for me.
Used to own eBay triggers, till they stopped working.

[apersson850]

I don't do too much multiple flash photography. So I only use the built in capability of the 580 EX II.

[nik.hisham]

Voted other.

I alternate between using the 580EX II as the trigger for my 430EX and my cheapo Phottix Tettra radio triggers when I want to trigger both flashguns remotely. Looking to upgrade to the latest Pocket Wizards as the Phottix can't handle shutter speeds beyond 1/100 as well as I lose eTTL functionality.

[Kafn8td]

Poverty wizards, but have been considering upgrading to Cybersyncs.

[Maurice A.]

Flash Wave 2 and so far it works flawlessly in and outdoors

[GSansoucie]

+Whatever for the cybersyncs. These things just plain work. . .

[int2str]

Cactus V2s right now and RF-602's on order...

[iqbal624]

Just sold my Skyports last week and ordered my Radio Poppers Jrx's... :)

[MR.e]

I was using Flash Waves, but sold them and picked up some PW plus II. :mrgreen:

[Spacemunkie]

Another Flashwaves user here. Work like a charm :)

[Gedi]

I like RF-602

[telles75]

I should had included the Cactus in the list, seems it might be the #1 used trigger.

[D Thompson]

Other - Quantum Radio Slave 4i

[Todd Lambert]

RF-602's for me... or ST-E2 and canon wireless flashes.

[AlbertZeroK]

pocket wizard here - a little because of the Mini and TT1 but mostly because of the integration into my Sekonic L-358.

[robtography]

Yongnuo CTR-301Ps...haven't failed me yet.

[Lisa]

Waiting on my Poverty Wizards here!

[Jon Foster]

CTR-301P's for us right now.

Jon.

[SJDreamer]

Been using my RF-602's for a few weeks and so far they been great!

[MSPhoto]

Pocket Wizards and Skyports...both come in handy depending upon which lights I am using.

[Abnel]

cybersyncs and i'm in love.

[vincent_su]

cybersyncs and i'm in love.

+ 1

[Extra Medium]

I also love my cybersyncs. They fit my budget and definently do the job everytime. No mis fires yet...

[pops77]

PW Mini and Flexs here.

[WesDigi]

Yongnuo RF602. Very affordable off-camera flash. Manual only. No ETTL.

[ean36]

Plus II's and MultiMax here.

[picturecrazy]

I primarily use PW Mini, Plus, Plus2, and Multimax for triggering.

I also have skyports but only for controlling power of my quadra and BXRi lights. They also do a great job of triggering but are a little less reliable than the PW, and they can't do hypersync.

[wernersl]

love my cyber syncs. do exactly what they are supposed to do every time. no question about it. of course...the price makes em that much better.
