Hi,

So I ordered a YN560 [cheapest flash I could find] to get me started with OC-Lighiting, I also ordered the RF 602 Flash Trigger for my T2i... is there anything else I need to get the flash working apart from a light stand and an umbrella and so on.


thanks in advance

I think that should do it. Call B H and they will hook you up. I just got my flash stand and umbrella. Works great and didn't cost a ton ($60 or so).

That's the set I got! I like that the umbrella comes with the removable black cover. 43" Umbrella Kit at that price... steal!

So, to be clear, you ordered a receiver for the trigger also, correct? :)
