I picked up the Elinchrom Skyport universal remote trigger kit from Fotovideo in Stockholm. For the price (1695 SEK) it seemed to be the best thing going, with its ability to group flashes. Canon’s own remote triggering system works Canon’s flashes, which can all be run as slaves so no receiver units are needed, but this system is based on IR. The Skyport is based on radio and is better in sunlight or when a flash isn’t positioned in a line of sight from the camera.  An in-depth review and a few test images are coming in a futre post. So far after 2 days of searching i’m just happy to have found a 2.5 mm to 3.5 mm mono adapter without which this trigger wouldn’t work…
