I have a 430ex and am looking for a second flash. Will this be ok for off camera use? http://www.adorama.com​/FAB.html (external link)

You can use just about any flash for off-camera use as long as it provides sufficient light for your needs. How were you planning to trigger the off-camera flash?

That flash looks like it only has 2 auto modes, but no manual mode. Will that be ok for your needs? It can be used to trigger other units (through optical triggers) since it will fire on the X-sync contact and not on the pre-flash.
