Default 3rd Party Wireless Flash Trigger

http://cgi.ebay.com/4-Channels-Wirel...QQcmdZViewItem

Found this link to an e-bay seller for Olympus-compatable wireless flash trigger...

Looks interesting - anyone ever tried this?

It's just a trigger so all flash exposure settings are on manual but at least there's the freedom of going wireless...

OK for playing with wireless where reliability isn't an issue, but I wouldn't trust it in a pro setting...I was at a workshop last week, and the instructor was talking about wireless triggers costing close to $1000, and cheaper ones he tried being unreliable.

I have one of this type of radio trigger, you can use it at outdoor, but the range is very limited, these type of radio trigger may get interference by mobile phone, once the phone ring, it will keep trigger your flash.
if these does not bother you, that's fine.

think PQ23 also selling radio trigger, can check it out.

Very interesting - thanks so much for the info...

I've been researching more and think that'd be better off with a cable so as to mantain the ability to trigger the flash in TTL mode.

So - Anyone has an Oly Flash-cable to let go cheap!?!
