| Read the reviews on the various wireless triggering options (radio or infrared) very carefully before purchase because you'll quickly discover not all work as well as the others.
In general, the name-brand radio slaves (PocketWizard, MicroSync, etc) are popular exactly because they work. Infrared options (Wein, etc) work in a similar manner (multi-channel pulses using infrared instead of radio) and are not affected by radio interference. Products from name-brand studio lighting companies (Bowens, Elinchrom, Speedotron, etc) also tend to work reliably, with some of those compatible with most any flash and occasionally cheaper than the PocketWizards and MicroSyncs as well.
In my case, I purchased the Elinchrom EL-Skyport Universal Radio Slave Set for those latter reasons. The fact that I'm very satisfied with my Elinchrom studio lights obviously helped influence that decision.
