I use some of the cheap Chinese made radio triggers that sell on eBay for around $20. I bought 2 of them and they work good. No problems and decent range. They work better outdoors than infrared we well.

Search on eBay under Blazzeo Flash Trigger. You should find a variety of them.

I had a look at them online. They are the same exact cheap Chinese made ones I am using, just with a different name stamped on them. That is the price they sell for in Thailand, but they would be half that on eBay. Anyway, if it works that is what counts.

For both the Umbrella Adapters and wireless flash remotes I suggest you look at Capa Foto, in Fortune Town 2nd Floor.
They have Yongyuo Wireless Set (One Sender one receiver) which is much more reliable than most of the no Name brands around. Cost 1800 Baht if i remember right. They sell receiver only too.
