i've heard good things about cybersincs, skyports and PW's

would cost me nearly $500 for a set with the 3 recievers, not very appealing when your 17 and not making huge money yet :)

might just get some cactus style triggers for the next 6 months or till i get sick of the unreliability ;)

About $300 for Cybersyncs - one transmitter, 3 receivers.

One transmitter/receivr kit (external link) and two receivers (external link) comes to $390. I got three of the transmitter/receiver kits, one for each of the cameras I use at a wedding, plus one for the assistant.
