With the large amount of radio triggers out there with an equally large number of feature sets, I'm in need of some assistance from those with more knowledge than me. I've tried searching for my answer, but haven't really come up with an answer.
I'm basically looking for a "mid-level" quality trigger (E-TTL is not a factor) that allows me to make power adjustments to the flashes either from my camera menu or the transmitter itself. I'll be triggering a 580exii and Metz 50 AF-1. Does such a monster exist without breaking the bank? Thanks a ton in advance! :)

Phottix Odin seems to be popular right now. Though I'm not sure it will be compatible with your Metz.

use google translate to translate this page.

it has a chart that shows current compatibility with flashes and the Phottix Odin system.

looks like your Metz isn't compatible, but your 580 EX II is.

The Pixel King works well with the 580EXII and the Metz 50, and provides Manual flash control in 3 groups from the Flash Control menu. Only the communication protocols can be managed from the TX. Reliability is good (12 months use) and price is excellent for its capabilities. It does Manual HSS, off-camera 2nd curtain sync, and ETTL is there if needed.

I tried retiring, but gave it up - it's a dead end
