I'm new to the forum. Loving this forum more and more as i dig through it. A quick question. I just pulled the trigger on getting the Canon 430ex, slightly used for 175 shipped. Was that good for the price?

The ebay triggers are just OK. If I was doing a paid shoot there is no way i would rely on them. For what I really need, they work, but Im still considering moving up to CyberSyncs. I bought some PocketWizards the other day but returned them once I slept on it and realized I didnt want to spend $400+ to trigger my flashes!

My suggestion would be to get cybersyncs, I have heard good things about them. If you are ok with your flash firing 6/10 - 8/10 times, then the ebay triggers will be fine for you...
