The majority of the guys there use the Ebay triggers/receivers. I was planning to pick up a pocket wizard and I was curious how exactly can I trigger their flashes using my pocket wizard. Is there some set frequency I must set my PW to? Canon 5D3 | Canon 5D2 | Canon 5D | 15mm (fisheye) | 35L | 50L | 85L | 100L | 135L |16-35L | 24-70L | 70-200L IS | MP-E 65 |

That is what I was afraid of. That is a major pain in the butt since they all use ebay triggers and I want to use a PW. Canon 5D3 | Canon 5D2 | Canon 5D | 15mm (fisheye) | 35L | 50L | 85L | 100L | 135L |16-35L | 24-70L | 70-200L IS | MP-E 65 |

Titus213 Cream of the Crop  More info | Aug 07, 2008 09:16 | #4 If you think about it this is one of the plus sides to using radio triggers. Shooting around other photogs with mulitple/off camera flash is a pain, discrete triggering channels is a blessing. Dave

Yeah, basically it means that in order to shoot with my friends I need to get the Ebay triggers. Is there any place I can buy them and get them quickly? I live in NYC. Canon 5D3 | Canon 5D2 | Canon 5D | 15mm (fisheye) | 35L | 50L | 85L | 100L | 135L |16-35L | 24-70L | 70-200L IS | MP-E 65 |

I could really use some help with this. Basically one of these cheap triggers that works with Cactus V2 that I can buy from B&H/Adorama.
