Budget wireless flash triggers

[andrewc]

Whats the current 'budget' wireless flash trigger of choice?

I've mislaid the transmitter for my Cactus V2s triggers and want to replace them. I use it to trigger my studio flashes to prevent trailing cables.

RF602 or RF603 if you feel a bit more flush...

I use the Yonguo RF-603s and they are great.

They also take commonly available AAA batteries where as the 602s take some more obscure watch style battery I think?

The 602 receivers run on AAAs, the transmitter takes a CR2 - it would need to be some size of watch to use one of those

Ah ok, for some reason I thought (or heard) they took a disc style battery that was more tricky to get hold of.
