Hi Everyone,

I'm looking for an inexpensive way to be able to use my 430EX II flash wireless off the camera. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can buy to make this work?

I found the below transmitter. Would this do the trick?

Another popular cheap option are the CTR301P wireless triggers. Do a search on Ebay.

How far off camera do you need to be?

The least expensive option by far is an off-shoe cable, which lets you retain TTL.

I use this one: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.28508

very happy with it so far. the operating range exceeds 20 meter, that's the most that I tried.

Hi Paul

My personal opinion is the RF-602 are worth the extra $$ because they run on 2.4 HZ. These are much more dependable then the older 301's. I picked mine up at "yong nuo" on eBay.

On a side note I was able to have Yong Nuo drop his price $10 to match another ebay seller.

Thanks for the advice everyone. Looks like they are currently sold out of this one. I'll wait and grab it once it comes back into stock.

Can't read the Chinglish but I think:
Sold out Item is temporarily sold out.
