The timing is incredibly complex to make this happen. When it does become available, I don't expect it to be cheap.

Do you know of any that are appropriately priced for a beginner? I am wondering if the Pocket Wizard is capable of this feat (not keen on the price, but I suppose it would save some $$ if I don't have to spring for a receiver for every flash). Maybe RadioPopper will add this functionality soon, as a matter of keeping pace or out-pacing the competition. Until then, is there a particular relay that could be used as a work around? This seems to be the never-ending quest: doing more with the least amount of equipment! Thanks again! A relay, you say? Do you know of any that are appropriately priced for a beginner?

Their system is based on having a master Speedlite in the hotshoe with a transmitter and then a receiver attached to each slave Speedlite.

I may be asking a question you have answered before, but I can't seem to find the answer anywhere. I understand that you recommend using a long sync cord, but I have a 60D (that seems to promote the progression into wireless shooting). I know that there are adapters to allow a sync cord, but I would like to "cut the cord", so to speak, and benefit from the usefulness of radio triggers. I would like to use a radio trigger to kick off a 580EX II and then have the 580EX II trigger one or more 430EX II (without needing to attach a radio receiver to each of the slaves), so that I can group flashes in a softbox and cut down on the number of receivers required. I am using a cheap Stratto II, which works but the slave flash is delayed. Am I correct in guessing that a Radio Popper would have the ability/power to get all of the flashes synced together? I would rather spend my money on extra flashes rather than a receiver for each flash. Thank you so much for your help! Hi Syl,

It's a phenomenal help, I really appreciate it. I am just now getting into using speedlights and have gobbled up a few of your videos to help guide the way. Something I noticed when using my brand new speedlights is that the batteries seem to die rather quickly. After one or two photo shoots they seem to require replacement. Is this normal?
