checkout eBay, there are millions on there, most are from Hong Kong but you may find some UK sellers, if not, they're cheap enough not to be a great risk from Hong Kong, they are pretty much very similar, you just need to make sure it fits your camera.

try this link: http://photography.shop.ebay.co.uk/i....c0.m270.l1313

I've used one of these for a few years without problems

you want flash triggers? I thought you wanted a trigger to fire your camera. There are even more flash triggers than remote camera triggers on ebay.

Whatever you get I'd make sure you go with one with a very high user-rating 99.8% or higher.

Lots of folk have the Yongnuo stuff & get on OK with it.

I can't get either of those links to work but my link above relates to the yongnuo triggers that I have just bought.

Check out the Interfit Strobies. They're only £40 for a receiver and transmitter and they do optical and radio. I've used some and they're pretty reliable.
