I thought I oughta write you guys a little review of my new triggers as I haven't done a review on here before.
They're Yongnuo RF602 wireless triggers for shutter, hotshoe or studio flash and come with cables for each.
The build quality so far is great as I've dropped em from about 6 feet onto carpet tiles over concrete three times so far (after that I taped them up there) and no damage (this was all before these pics), they feel nice and weighty too.
I've used them with 100% reliability so far indoors in like a 10m radius to fire a 430exII on the shoe, studio lights on the cable and the camera on the other cable. Sync speed is reliably 1/200, I lose a third of a stop compared to a pc cable but hey its wireless. Reputed range is meant to be fairly massive but I have yet to try them outdoors over a greater distance, also useful is the ability to punch through walls a lot better than lower freq triggers 2.4ghz triggers really do have a lot of penetrating power. I have also not had any false fires due to interference with wireless or bluetooth including working around an AP and with a bluetooth headset on.
There is a port in on the back of the reciever with a thread on it for the studio head cable, which comes with an adaptor for mini jack 580exIIs
the camera cable plugs in here too
There was a pc-pc cable in the packet too for hooking the transmitter up via pc cable, it is threaded too to stop it falling out. (I forgot to take a photo)
All in all they are great reliable little triggers that feel really well made and I'd recomend them to anyone. I paid 32 pound for them from flash in the pan on here but I'm pretty sure they're on ebay too.
