Reasonable is relative. Since your getting YN flashes, might as well get ebay triggers. Not as consistent, but cheap as dirt. Cybersyncs are the next most affordable and are very dependable.

I don't have wireless triggers yet, I run mine wired. It's reliable, but very limited to distance and range.

Im getting triggers here soon, I say you do the same :)

Wireless IMO. Wires are annoy to carry around, they get tangles, they are a tripping hazard... wires = awesome.

Who cares about tripping Will, It's what the tripping does to the objects attached to the trip wire. LOL

I would suck to trip on the wires and have your lights come crashing down.

Radiopoppers are around the same price point as cybersync's. They're awesome and havent misfired once for me at least.

Get yourself some Cybersyncs, never misfire, huge range, bargain price, best customer service out.
Wires belong in the 90's.
