do you need a separate receiver for each flash? If I have a sigma 500DG super, and a canon 430 EX, what is the minimum I need to trigger them both wirelessly?

The minimum in price (yet still reliable) would be an Elinchrom Skyport set (transmitter and receiver) and the proper hotshoe adapter to connect the Canon 430EX to the Skyport.

Then set the Sigma Super in "Slave Flash mode" and turn on the built in optical slave.

See this for info on the obtuse setting for the Sigma Super to get it "Slave Flash mode".

It's worth a hoot, or maybe two hoots... but I wouldn't give much more than that...

hehe.

Actually, my input is... what Curtis said. :P

Everyone seems to know about PW, but it seems that no one even mentions Quantum Radio Slaves any more! Lower cost than PW. They used to rule in the professional world 10-15 years ago, before PW.

V2 Cactus, from gadget infinity. No problems with them, used them today for impromtue art shoot.
