I'll apologise in advance if this has been covered before, but I've had a search and couldn't quite find the answer I was looking for.
In a system where you would be using two Canon 580EX II Speedlites off-camera, with one as master and one as slave, what are your options for triggering? Would a radio trigger attached to the camera's hotshoe and then triggering the master set off the slave, or do you need one radio trigger per flash?
The confusion lies in that I often see people buying multiple Cactus triggers for multi-flash set-ups but I've only ever seen people with two Pocket Wizards. I assumed this was due to cost or have I missed something?
