Wireless Flash Triggers

If you have a flash gun with a high guide number and other useful
features like bounce/swivel but it has a high (more than 30v) trigger
voltage it might be cost advantageous to purchase a wireless trigger
system. Very cheap units are available if you do not have a lot of use for
a more professional set up.

units to allow some complex lighting set ups to be constructed using
multiple flash units.
