I need a new trigger, I had one of those cheap ebay ones, but they've stopped working now. I'd like something similar to the pocket wizards trigger but less expensive.

Please give me "directions"! lol

I'm using a Canon 5D and a Sigma EF-500 DG flash gun!

Thanks in advance :)

Go for a 2.5GHz radio set. I would stay away from all the 433MHz radios.

You might want to look at the Cactus V5. Works great and has a good feature set. Do a Google search for Cactus V5 review.
