Maybe because I wasn't using the right words to look for it but I was wondering what I need to trigger the 580ex flash off the camera. I'm not sure if I need a remote and if I do what kind...Thanks for your help guys! Canon 10D

Mar 05, 2008 00:45 | #5 thanks for your help guys! I have the Canon OC-E3 already but I plan to put the flash on a tripod so I think I'll have to go wireless. I was also looking into getthing another 580ex so I can have two but is it worth it or should I just save up for studio lighting? Is there a benefit of having studio lighting vs using the 580ex as strobes... Canon 10D
