I want to get some radio triggers to work with my 40D and 580EX. There seem to be a few different cheapie models about and was wondering what other members thought were the best way forward. They will be for occasional use and mainly for rim lighting of gravestones.

Models I looked at were Cactus v4 and CTR-301s but could do with info on anything in the budget arena.
 
I had a set of the original Cactus triggers, there was a lot on the 'net about them being useless but I never had any problems :shrug:

I upgraded recently to the latest version, from Gadget Infinity in Hong Kong. The design has been improved no end and seem a lot better than the previous version. Range is improved as is the misfire ratio (you do occassionally have a misfire)
 
Every review I read of cheap triggers seems to involve negatives but I guess the usual thing about folk applies, i.e. quicker to moan than praise.
 
I have the yongnuo triggers 602s, highly delighted with them. Got one trigger 2 recievers £38. Never failed yet. On flickr pages n pages about them. They are fab. Got through a friend direct from Hong Kong.
