Anyone used these flash triggers before?

I am looking for flash triggers that can wirelessly trigger the flash on a bracket. I came across these on Ebay and they are the only ones that dont appear to be from HongKong/China.

Anyone know anything about them or whether they are just a waste of money? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RF-603c-Wirel...raphy_DigitalCamAccess_RL&hash=item35b2bf8232

It says on the listing they are trancievers. I dont really know what this means. I thought i needed a reciever and a transmitter. Reading at the listing it sounds like a tranciever acts as both a reciever and a transmitter. Is this right?

Thanks

I've got a set that I got from Cotswold Photo. i think they're made in China but seem good quality. I wanted to stick to a UK seller as well in case of problems.

new generation of 603s? I use the 602s and they are great; fraction of the cost of pocket wizards, but I would still love some PWs

Is the price shown on that listing about right or can they be had cheaper elsewhere?

If I wanted those cheap I'd buy them from hkyongnuophotoequipment (used them several times, no problems) or if I wanted them from the UK I'd go to Trevor at cotswoldphoto (also used several times before). Both of these are Ebay sellers.

The one you've linked to.. the price looks too good for UK stock and looking at the sellers feedback I just don't get a good vibe (not from the score which is good, but the responses to the negatives).

Ok thanks guys. i am now considering going ahead with these from costwoldphoto. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RF-603-Canon-...graphy_StudioEquipment_RL&hash=item27ba2d60cf

The one i listed earlier only had 3 month warranty whereas costwold ones have a years warranty which is good.

I was happy with the service I got from them and think that the peace of mind is worth paying a bit extra.
