wireless flash

[Inspire]

Hi there , i'm looking for a Canon Speedlite Transmitter ST-E2

[John Rose]

I use skyport to trigger mine along with my studio lights

I need it to fire my speedlite 580EX  not studio flash heads, do you know of any other product that would do it?

Off shoe cord would do it, but it is expensive.

I have the ST-E2 and it is fab - thought it was expensive when I had just the one 580, but now with 2 I can really see some of the cool features.

The skyport fires my 580 (as well as my studio flash) it will also fire any other off camera flash.

I also use SkyPorts to fire remotely my Elinchrom studio flash, and my Metz CL45s & SB800 strobes.

STE2 V Skyports?

STE2 pros: ETTL via infrared
Cons: Line of sight required
Weak to useless in sunlight, fine indoors or on dull days
limited range (like 30 feet indoors or so)

Skyport pros: radio, so no line of sight. can trigger as many flashes as you have receivers, wide range (100's of feet)
Cons: must be used with the flash in manual, no ETTL.


You can get wireless ETTL using Radio Poppers, but I don't think they're here (as in the UK) yet officially.
