A question for the photogs

[1080ski]

How do you trigger your off camera flash? I shoot nikon and currently use the iTTL system that my camera supports out of the box but I have been feeling a bit limited in both the range and placement of my flash. What do you use? I am thinking of getting some pocket-wizzard knock offs on ebay (will do research to see which ones actually work) but I am curious about what other people use.

I'm using Alienbees Cybersyncs right now, but I might switch to Pocket Wizards in the near future. We'll see.

i thought it was super helpful and tells you what to look for (i believe that they talked about the ebay triggers), and if you still have questions, PM Snowcase. He is super legit when it comes to the photography stuff and should be super helpful.

im a big fan of pocket wizards transceivers, but they are pricy, and tempermental in the cold.

i use ebay triggers, they aren't amazing but when they break i buy new ones, no sweat.
