I just got my 430EX II and have ordered the RF-602's. My question is,how do you hook up the receivers to the 430EX II " I don't see any sort of port or anything to connect a jack on the flash.
I did read you can connect the receiver to the flash, I just don't know how. Do you need to mount the flash on something and then connect the reciever to it somehow? If you do where would I get something like that?
I really want to try the 430EX II off camera, looks like it would be great to tuck it out of sight, so I can get light where I really need it.
Thanks !

I don't have them, but it looks like the RF-602 has a hot shoe mount, so you actually put the flash on the receiver just like you would on top of your camera.

Still, sounds like you'll want a light stand and a Swivel bracket such as: http://www.flashzebra.​com/products/0200/inde​x.shtml (external link)

There is a hot shoe connection on the receiver tjat you simply slide the flash into the receiver. Done.

You are quick ! Ok thanks. can't wait to try it out. Did a few quick shots and just about blinded myself, and that was while my eye was in the viewfinder of my 20D. Of course thyat was before I found out it turns too.
Last time I used a flash they were throw away flash bulbs !
