I just bought myself one of these:
http://cgi.ebay.com …K:MEWNX:IT#ht_5​227wt_1167 (external link)
While the name on the front isn't the same, everything else is.
I want to buy a wireless trigger for this, something I can put on my tripod. Has anyone had experience with any of these?::

http://www.adorama.com​/PAINT492.html (external link)
http://www.adorama.com​/FPRRS4.html (external link)
Do they mount to a tripod? or will I have to buy something else?
What about the "ebay" triggers? are they better?
It's not an emergency, I won't be buying any time soon, but I would like input, just so I can start looking, I am about to get a paycheck... more or less LOL
if you have other suggestions, let me know!
(or if you have any triggers for sale/would sell, pm me!)
Thanks guys!

I'm afraid that eBay flash you just bought won't work great for OCF. It doesn't have any manual settings :(

You might want to look into Youngnuo flashes such as theYN-460 (external link), Yn-465. YN-467, or the YN-460 ii (all from eBay).

Also look into the Youngnuo RF-602 wireless triggers from ebay. Or maybe the CTR-301p triggers for a little cheaper (~$22 a set).

I should have figured as much, no big deal, it's great ON the camera LOL
I will look into the yn-460mk II (one) and a yn467 (one) so I have an e-TTL youngnuo flash as well
Are the e-bay triggers better than the ones I found on adorama?
