I want to start using my flash off the camera for a few ideas that I have.
I dont want.. cant spend the earth..
I have a Canon 450d and a Sigma EF-530 DG St flash. (not think it has infa red)

As far as I can see, my only option is this http://www.warehouseexpress.com/product/default.aspx?sku=1027354
But it can only extend to about 4 feet away..
Would it be possible to splice the lead and add extra cable.. or is there other options that I can choose from?

Thanks :thumbs:
 
Cheap eBay triggers should do the trick, can pick them up for under £20 now I think! Wireless too :)
 
Maybe post in the wanted section to see if anyone is flogging a set of Cactus triggers?
The new V4 is out so you might be able to pick up a set of V2 or V2s.

Wireless triggers so now problem with cable length.
 
I don't have the V4s, but can definitely recommend the Cactus V2s from Gadget Infinity.
 
ok found this on the V2's
Sigma EF-530 DG Super, EF-530 DG ST (for Nikon only), EF-500 DG Super, EF-500 DG ST (for Nikon only), EF-430;

works for nikon only? poo

also do you just get a reciever? I have no idea how these work.... heyulp
 
Hey Trev

The Catcus triggers from Gadget Infinity work via the hotshoe without a problem - you get a receiver and transmitter with the startup kit but can buy extra receivers if you need them.

They also work absolutely fine on Canons!
