anyone using these? thinking of adding them to my 550 ex maybe two of them for on location shooting?

only thing is im guessing id need another 2 pocket wizzards at £100 each which sucks but still cheaper than an 580ex

I've got a couple and would recommend them. They also make wireless triggers which are pretty good too.

I was thinking about getting these but wondered about their reliability. Was wondering as well if DPCers use these successfully.

is it just a trigger or do yo have to plug something in the unit?

what im getting at and cant figure out is do they have recievers built in? i doubt it but would be cool if they did

be great if i could trigger these with my pocket wizards :) //www.amazon.co.uk/Channel-Wireless-Flashgun-Speedlight-receivers/dp/B002RD9GNA/ref=sr_1_8?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1328026030&sr=1-8

I have several of them. I love them! They have an optical slave, or I use these with them with no problems at all...

Head over to the flickr strobist site and do a search.

strobist.com

You will find pages of discussions there on these flashes.

The think there is a newer 565 so might be worth checking what the difference is (think it has a metal foot and also does ettl)

Cheers
