I have been getting a lot of questions from other photographers about how I use my SB-800 speed lights with the Elimchrom Skyport remote radio triggers. When I started with remote flash I first used the cheap e-bay triggers but started to get frustrated with all the miss fires. Here is a mini review on the Skyports and how I hook it all up. Click the play button and then hit pause so it loads all the way and then hit play again when it has loaded.
I shot this video a while back and have used the Skyports a lot since then. I just love them.
Hope it helps.
Here are the cheap e-bay triggers I started with when I found that you could not work with the Nikon creative light system in direct sun light.

Here is how I made the cables and how I attach the Skyport to the speedlight using Velcro but not with any glue !! I hate glue on kit so this is how I did it.
