Elinchrom Skyport triggers have arrived

Well, so far so good. I can at least trigger my Minolta/Sony flashes using some cheap FS-1200 adapters from Ebay! Haven't really tried them properly yet, but they do seem to trigger much more reliable than the Cactus v2's (which would sometimes fail to fire for no reason even at short distances)

Look pretty neat and small, have the ability for up to 4 flash groups and come in a nice zippable padded case. The recievers are rechargable.

I guess they are probably not as good as the Pocket Wizards, but were cheaper at £120 for the transmitter/reciever pack, and £75 for a second reciever. I guess the same setup would have cost £450 for PQ.

If anyone's interested to know more, I'll try and answer any questions or perform any tests if needed.
