Cactus V2s and Vivitar 285HV - any local sources?

sloth · 16th December 2007

Does anybody know of local sources for the Gadget Infinity radio triggers and the Vivitar 285HV flashes? I'm looking at doing a bit of Strobist type work. (see http://strobist.blogspot.com) Thanks

I can order over the Net, no problem, but it's nearing Christmas and packages tend to get lost in the mail around this time, or they take forever to arrive.

Cactus triggers etc can be got from PQ23 (Paul, Tagotech) here on CS. Prices are slightly higher then on the net, but hey, everyone has to make a living, PLUS he's in SG and deliveries usually takes 2-3 days via mail, and is an absolutely great guy to deal with - many CSers will testify to his after-sales service and honesty.

Thanks!

I'll definitely check it out.

Agreed that having a local dealer is worth it for the support, even if prices are a bit higher. Besides, you don't have to deal with international shipping which adds to your cost and hassle. Local mail is very reliable.

where to buy threads belong to the consumer's corner

TS has already got an answer, so thread closed
