Good day chums!

I have started shooting a lot with off camera lighting. I love it! Got a simple rig with two shoe strobes, and a set of pocket wizards, amazing results!

One massively irritating thing though, when i have my rig setup, and i have waited a little long between shots, my 430ex goes to sleep on me. I have to manually hit the pilot button to get it to wake up.

Can i dissable sleep mode somehow?

And as a followup, what is a good off camera use flash? looking for somethign with PC input, lots of power to dump, good recycle time, and no sleep mode! Ideas?

Thanks All!
