Canon 40D + Dlite 4

Ok so what im gonna need to flash those babes with 40D?

Is this enough? Transmitter on camera, Transceiver on first flash and cabel from 1. to 2. flash?

how many lights? but yes it will. You can set the additional lights to be optically triggered, using the 1 receiver to set the rest off. Ideally, you'd have a receiver on each unit but if this is all studio work, then there shouldn't be other light sources setting off your lights.

If you want cheap for studio with the Dlite set, check out Interfit. I paid $125 for 1 trigger and 2 receivers. Each additional receiver is only $45.

Get one of these cables for each flash, they work better than PC cables IMHO. Also if you want a flash on the hotshoe get a locking PC to 2.5mm cable from FlashZebra.

2 lights, third coming later.

Ya ok, if i get EL Skyport and cables that Tim told, is it good? Or can i use only cables?

And also, should i get flash for background or something like Elinchrom Minilite 250w? (straight light, not flash)

You could use cables only if they are close, meaning within the 15 foot cable length. If you need to shoot and the light is farther away, I'd suggest radio triggers.

Right now i have small space to work with, so cables would be better? And does'nt Skyport anyway have atleast 1 cable (flash to flash) ?

Cables are a pain in the butt, but work especially if you're on a tripod. Yes there always has to be a cable between the radio receiver and the flash.

Said the bishop to the actress.

Okk.. soo what kinda cable i need between flash & flash?
I just realized that i can use one of those elinchrom cables to sync my Canon to first flash.

But what for that another one is?

And yes, im not going for Wireless thing yet. We'll see that later ...

wut

Just run a PC cord from camera to one of the D-Lites and set the other one to fire off the built in optical slave and be done with it. Don't make things harder than they need to be.

Ah, first when i red your post i was'nt sure what you ment. But today i got really close look at those babes and i realize that we really dont need cable betweend two dlites, huh? Just awesome!

Anyhow.. if i later get that Skyport for camera, does it work same way than now?

Yes, you can plug a Skyport receiver into one of the D-Lites, fire it with the Skyport transmitter that's mounted on the camera, and the other D-Lite will fire via it's built in optical slave. Thats how I fire mine.

That's cuz Randy's a cheap bastard
