I just received a wireless strobe trigger that I ordered off of Ebay. This thing is great, I wish I had known about these sooner. I have yet to even figure out how far the range is on this but I could trigger the strobe from at least 30 feet and through a couple walls. The greatest thing about it is it was incredibly cheap. With shipping it was only $24. That is almost as much as I paid just for the normal sync port attachment for the D70. Only downside I can see is the instructions are in extremely bad "Engrish" . That is really more comical than anything though, since it is so simple I really don't need instructions.

So give us a link so we can see this new toy and mabey get one of these little beauties. If it works that well at such a good price I think I might need one.

Agreed!

I second that. I just ordered a pair of Interfit Stellars from Adorama and I'm looking for a good wireless trigger.

You can find them by doing a search for "radio trigger" on ebay...or just click this link: //search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?from=R40&satitle=radio+trigger

The specific one I got was this: //cgi.ebay.com/Wireless-Radio-Remote-Flash-Strobe-slave-Trigger-Studio_W0QQitemZ7590059258QQcategoryZ30084QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I would really be interested in this, but they do not state shipping charges....that always makes me wary.
Nevermind....found it!! (problem with feeling like I am going to YAK!) $20.00 to ship that small thing! OUCH Should be on your door step in a day.

Yeah..that was the issue I had with the person I bought from. They are shipping it from Hong KOng so it takes a little over a week to get it. The reason sellers charge high shipping like that is to get around paying the ebay commission. If they sell something for $4 and just over charge the difference in the shipping they only have to give ebay a percent of the $4. Still...$24 total wasn't bad...
