Some type of AF-assist that I can put on my flash shoe?

I know I can do this with my flash, but I want something smaller.

The Canon ST-E2 wireless transmitter will do that, and also trigger your flashes wireless. It's also small.

the commander has af assist i think... should be flatter than a flash, though not exactly smaller


I don't hate macs or OSX, I hate people and statements that portray them as better than anything else. Macs are A solution, not THE solution. Get a good desktop i7 with Windows 7 and come tell me that sucks for photo or video editing.

Canon's ST-E2 remote flash controller will also function as an AF-assist light.

There is not one that is 550/580 and maybe even 430 compatible at once?

Not sure what the question is but if I'm understanding your question correctly, the ST-E2 can control all EX flashes that can be set as slaves.

Why does it say that its for the 550EX only?

"Type: 550EX-dedicated, clip-on Speedlite transmitter with direct contacts"

Because it was written before the 580EX or the 430EX came out. Back then, the 550EX was the flagship flash for Canon.
