Hey Gene, I bought the Flashwaves as you know since you directed me to their site for extra receivers. I appreciate the earlier advice and couldn't be happier with these. I posted a review here
http://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/p...-triggers.html awhile back. Since then I've done at least 6 more events and these have not let me down. I didn't try the remote camera trigger. I guess you just plug the receiver into the camera's remote jack and fire the transmitter manually.
I would estimate that I've shot 3500-4000 images with them since the spring and not one misfire. Very good tech support as well. As you said the box contents save a bit of hassle tracking down parts and $$. Plus the distributor will sell extras as well even though they are not listed on the web site.

Had I realized that, I would have ordered a few extra cables (spares) and some of the plastic shoe mounts that have the tripod screw. Highly recommended product!
