Bingo!

For people that don't know its a Canon ST-E2 - it allows me to use my flash wirelessly off the camera!

I've also bought a reversible white/silver umbrella and a bracket to hold it in the tripod. Gonna do some experimentation now

It wasn't hard, the flash went off without the camera attached to it

syke · 21 Nov 2008 at 20:27

And there i was thinking it had something to do with the banana.

You can do that for about 20 notes with some ebay triggers. The important thing is that it allows ETTL control of the flashes, no?

I didn't have time to wait for eBay. I needed this for Sunday!

And yes it allows ETTL control of the flashes

- But yeh thats the important thing!

combine it with some radio poppers and you've got a great setup

Willis · 22 Nov 2008 at 09:27

So come on someone tell me what these 10 Internets things are about.

except radio poppers are illegal in this country thus far (use the same band as TETRA iirc) and the st-e2 ONLY allows ettl control and not manual, a 580ex mk2 is a FAR better control unit! Can't wait for the UK version to be released

Phate · 22 Nov 2008 at 16:05

Tom's right, trust me if I could have afforded a 580ex mk2 I would have bought one, but it'll have to wait for a little bit.
