Which Triggers for my 600D

[Bazil]

Hello all

I'm after some wireless triggers for my 600D, would like to use 2 x 430EX-II's

I've looked at the RF-602(3)'s and they seem to show a cable plugged into the front of the camera which mine don't have..

Any idea's

Thanks

Ah

Just had a look at the 602's and I think they'll work.

Is the lead to the camera optional; for powering of the battery?

Anybody?

I have 602's which I use with my 40D - I use the hotshoe function for the trigger, but it can also be attached to the flash PC socket on the side of the body. From a quick Google, I can't see a PC socket on the 600D. I've found the 602s to be a very reliable, cheap and simple solution for off-camera flash control.

You can trigger off the PC socket, if you have one, via a cord but normal method is to use the hot shoe (which also delivers a fractionally higher x-sync speed with Canon). The pic you're looking at probably shows the trigger being used to fire the camera remotely, which is an additional function if you get the right cord.

I use the 603s and would recommend them - very easy to use and seem to work well. Put the trigger on the camera's hotshoe and mount the flashes onto the hotshoes of the receivers (with 603 any unit can be a trigger or receiver) and away you go!
