I know the Nikon stuff has similar abilities but I only have an sb800 and sb400 - the Sb400 can fire off the bigger flash but has no controls on it whatsoever so its pretty limiting at the moment. Another sb800 is a lot of money, and I would prefer to buy cheaper flashes (like the older nikon sb28) and control them with a 3rd party device if it's reasonable cost.


The Canon wireless link system is basically line of sight. If it could should around corners I would be stoked. Yes, the master flash can trigger the slave flash to go off without flashing it's self. The picture of the Kyosho truggy was done with 3 flashes as well. I use the nikon flash simply b/c its works pretty good as a slave unit with plenty of power.
