ETTL Flash for Canon - Anyone tried these?

[Kermit power]

Hi All,

I am looking for a secondary flash.

I currently have a 580 EXii and an MR-14 EX. I could get another Canon flash, but I'll use up most of my cash on that, so will be stuck just driving the 580 and the new flash as slaves off the MR-14 on the camera.

Alternatively, I could go for something like this and probably have just about enough to get some pocket wizards to go with.

Has anyone tried this, or could anyone recommend something similar?

I've just bought a Nissin Di866

Wireless ettl, sameish power as the 580ex, picked it up of ebay.au new for $300nz, or about £130?


Very impressed with it.

I've decided to try one of these

I'll only be using it as a secondary, off-camera flash, so even if it's not the greatest thing since sliced bread, for £38 with an average 4.5 out of 5 review on Amazon it's got to be worth giving it a try!
