I know that Wein make a trigger for the top of the hot-shoe. I dont know what its called and if it is compatible with my old Bowens monolites (the ones with the "earphone jack" plug for the synch cord (maybe theyre all like that -- i dont know any other make but mine). Any help on getting "cordless"?

Sounds like you'll want the "monoplug" version. My only complaints are that they have to be in the line of sight of the IR trigger that mounts on the flash unit. This has only been an issue like three out of a hundred times.

I use the Pocket Wizard Plus.There is a wireless transmitter that sits in the camera hot shoe and a receiver that plugs into one of the studio lights. The other lights are set on "slave". You can also purchase a module that goes into Sekonic light meters that can fire off your lights wirelessly so you can meter them. I use this system for my 10D, G2, and Nikon cameras.
