There is also a lot of talk about the new Paul Buff triggers. I think they have been cleared now for Canada. Check the AlienBees website.David Hobby (Strobist) wrote up on the RadioPopper and he gave them a great review. PocketWizards are the best investment I've made in ages. Everthing was there to use with my strobes. I had to ask my guy to order the cable to connect to my Nikon speedlights. Holy crap, I think they were $39 each from PocketWizard. So... make sure the included cables connect to your flash. If you need cables there is some site - I think it has the word Zebra in it - that sells the same cables for a few bucks. I'll see if I can dig it up when I am on my desktop.I've taken a low few thousand shots with PW's this year and they are very reliable. Better than that Booth Photo crappy triggers I had before.
How fast can you sync them? Fast enough to get some action shots during a hockey shoot? I usually shoot 1/400th or 1/320th
Oh yeah, another bonus! When you are walking around in a nice park and you see a photographer doing a portrait session you can flip through your channels and fire the other photographers strobes. It's non stop entertainment as you watch him look at his gear as though it is possessed.

Unless you are shooting in those dreamy pro stadiums with lights balanced for tv! My god, what a difference in the light. The ambient light in these community areans and gyms is just GROSS.
What's the difference between the pocketwizard and the Cactus Wireless Flash Trigger Set V4? They work fine for me on Canon cam/580 and Sigma strobes and Linkstar softboxes, for a fraction of the price.
