remote flash trigger Can't Post

Has anyone used or heard much about these cheap triggers for flash.

Basically it would be used in a small studio setting so I wouldn't have to worry about 800 family members taking pictures and setting everything off.

Here's a link to an example on e-bay

I'm still using my $20usd Hong Kong eBay radio. It's a cheap POS, but does the job perfectly.

Hi, Shadow.

I heard The Pro uses a cheapee (~$20 or so) slave out at
reception job sites and says it works fine.

Thanks Rusty and Brack.

Rusty - does it make those cool lines? Looks like something from Superfriends.

On the MPix community forums someone posted about how to increase the range of the cheapo ones, too. By soldering a little wire onto the antenna spot they bumped the range from 30 feet to over 100 yards.

Cool, thanks Postal. I have a solder iron.
