wireless flash

i am ubber noob and want to get my feet wet into using flash wirelessly.
currently, temporarily, i have a nikon d80 and am looking to pick up a vivitar 285 or a sunpack 383 and an umbrella. i would like to be able to get a light meter (maybe sekonic 383) and a wireless system for the flash.

i have seen some cactus v2 and cactus v4 and i dont know if these will get the job done. i have seen mixed reviews.

can someone advise me in the right direction? thanks.

get v5's my v4's were off and on.
sounds good, might start with one light and go from there.
2 lights also good, one subject one background.
have you read the strobist blog lighting 101 good place to start.

is there any place in the united states that will sell the v5?
i know its a long shot, thought id ask.

the v5 look good, but i dont think i want to wait for gadgetinfinity to ship it.

anyway, thank you very much
