What brand and model flash triggers, flash guns did you use?
My definitions on the following items:
flash trigger - device used to activate external flash units (tell them when to flash)
flash gun - a hotshoe (external) flash unit for use to illuminate a scene briefly
He was using a wireless flash trigger attached to his hot shoe. It triggered the strobes that were already setup in the studio.
matchz, from what I've heard, some of the wireless triggers have a lower sync speed than the camera does. Some are 1/120th, so it's not out of the question for the trigger to be at 1/80 (though it does seem to be slow).
