Flashes, stands, triggers?

[Village Idiot]

I know they are supporting Vendors, otherwise, I will not write a message. Instead, I will just "Report Post".

The Supporting Vendors keep adding post to any hardware related thread saying "Go to this link .. and hope that you will get some help". If they can help, why don't they just post the answer here.

I personally find it is very un-professional.

And childish?

I'm gonna steer this back to the original topic.

I'm thinking about getting my feet wet with a little off camera stuff. I'd kind of like to buy a cheap flash and some cheap wireless triggers.

Is there any reason that 2.4 GHz would be better than 433 MHz?

The cactus V4 is 433 MHz, but I see things like this on Ebay:

RF602 RF-602 for Canon 5D 5DII 50D 40D with 2 receivers - eBay (item 220581065532 end time Apr-28-10 18:54:39 PDT)

I'm pretty sure that the CyberSyncs are 2.4 GHz as well.

If there's no difference, I'd probably go with the widely used Cactus.
