As I now have two Speedlite flashguns, a 420EX and a 430EXll, it would be nice to be able to fire them both off-camera.
Both can be used as 'Slaves' and are wireless receivers, but do not have the capability to transmit like the 580EX and 600EX variants.
It would seem financially illogical to buy a 600EX at £400+, just to fire another Speedlite.
So, I'm thinking that a wireless trigger would be a cost effective way to go.
The Canon trigger is around £174, but I see there are several 'other brands' (Chinese) at very attractive prices, the Yongnuo being a prominent one.
Has anyone had any experience with these non Canon wireless triggers, and could they be expected to work with the 5D Mklll and Canon Speedlites?
