Hello. I use Wein optical trigger units to fire my two Vivitar 285HV flashes. On 40D I have 430EX. Unfortunately I'm not satisfied with overall compatibility, especially I think that Wein triggers do not work very good. Sometimes slaves fire, sometimes not.. even indoor, sometimes one slave do fire one do not (each one positioned near to other)... not good.

What I look is some radio replacement instead optical triggers. Please give me some cheap recommendation that can be found on eBay stores. Also I would like that I can fire all three flashes (2 Vivitars AND 430EX) off camera with new trigger setup.

Many thanks.

Have heard good things about the RF-602's, I am getting cybersyncs because I will be getting alien bees soon and I wanted a small very reliable trigger. Either one will be great for you. I think a set of the RF-602's w/ three receivers and one transmitter is about $80. Where that would cost over $200 for cybersyncs.
