I have reflectors and such, but want something as a backlight thats not too expensive. Also wondering if I could use my 430 ex wirelessly as a master to the other strobes. under $200 would be great, under 150 would be ideal.

YN-560 are $60ish and would trigger optically, though they don't do ETTL. 5D MIV | 5D MII | 7D | 30D | D30 | A2E | Elan 2e | AE1p | FTb | SD1100IS | G7x

May 26, 2011 20:55 | #10 yes I have a radio trigger already, if I were to buy another flash, would I be able to set my 430ex as a slave as well as the others and have them all fire?
