Lastolite Studio and Speedlite Flash Radio Trigger
In my opinion the Lastolite Radio Trigger is the best value for money studio & speedlite flash radio trigger on the market today, whether you are on a budget or not, in fact they are so cheap I have one on each studio flash head.
This new kit comes with a sender, which goes on the camera hot shoe, and a reciever which slots into the studio flash head synch socket or via cable into your speedlite synch socket.

Radio Trigger
The Elinchrom Skyport provides a realistic, inexpensive solution to having an ability to remotely fire most types of Studio Flash, not ONLY Elinchrom. This is dependent on the product purchased, some of the versions listed here only work with Elinchrom Flash Units. In line with this, using the right cables would enable a Skyport to remotely fire a portable flash gun such as a Speedlite 580EX II.

Quantum Radio Triggers & Slaves
SPEEDLITE & QUANTUM
Quantum has long been the leader in wireless trigger devices. The Radio Slave 4i and the very recently introduced FREEXWIRE are designed to fire flash units (battery or mains operated) and/or cameras up to hundreds of feet away. Since these units use radio waves, the transmitter and receiver do not have to be in sight of each other, i.e. you can fire flash/camera or both even if they are in different rooms, hidden behind objects or even inside cabinets/cars etc.
