I use these and love the system. You can control 3 flashes from the camera.

Just about any radio trigger will do, since the flash will be on manual…

I use a Phottix Strato II and like it.

I've got the Phottix Odins and love using them, but they may be a bit of overkill for manual only flash.

That's the cool thing about the JRx system. It's a little more than full manual....you have continuously variable flash output control from the camera. Too much or too little light, make a half second adjustment, problem solved.

If your flash is a 430EX II then you can even look into YN-622 triggers. They will give you the option of ETTL and manual controls in camera. They are only like $90 or so.

I know, but only with Speedlights, Speedlites or compatible studio flashes ;)

I use a Cybersync transmitter and two receivers. I recently bought another flash, and I picked up an optical slave hotshoe from Flashzebra for $16 - works well.
