I personally use the Yongnuo rf-603's I use for OCF.
They also function as a good wireless shutter when the cable is attached.

Cactus V5 triggers. Little more than the Yongnuo, but they will lock into the flash shoe unlike the Yongnuos.


Not sure why, but call me JJ.
I used to hate math but then I realised decimals have a point.

Hi there.

I got this one a few time ago: http://www.amazon.co.u​k/gp/product/B004DR90P​M (external link)
Really great, easy to work with, you can attach it to the flash mount and has a great price.
I recommend it.

Cheers.

I had one of the cheap ones off E-bay, it died about the third time that I went to use it.

Now I have the Vello Wireless Shutterboss, have had it about 6 months and it works great on my 7D. Took over 350 shots with it last Saturday.

Got it from B&H, paid a little more for it but it works.

I just picked up two pairs new for $60. They're shipping from the US too.

By the way, the Vello that Bob was talking about look like the Pixel on rebranded. I was watching this video and realized that: http://www.youtube.com …e=player_detail​page#t=44s (external link)

Agree with you. I was confused with the wireless flash recommendations from others. I don't think that's what the OP was asking about.

I bought the one from the POTN store (click at top of this page) and it works great.

Both the Yongnuo and Cactus triggers work for either as a flash trigger or a camera trigger.
