Mainly, I shoot a ton of sports, but just recently have become very interested in portrait work. I don't have a lot of experience yet, other than shooting a wedding for a friend and an engagement shoot for a friend but I am hoping to get a lot more experience, and hopefully one day make a career out of it. I'm really excited to explore the options of off camera lighting as a grow as a photographer. I'll be shooting another friend's wedding this summer, and know that these triggers would be awesome to have to use at the wedding. I'd love to grow as a photographer, and know that these would certainly help me. I appreciate your willingness to give back, and hope that someday I'll be able to give back as well. Thanks for your consideration. Hi,

I have been a shooter since i bought my first nikon at age 13. I shot film on that camera until i was about 20. the camera broke and being a poor college student, i couldnt justify the expense of fixing it. After that, i was point and shoot for years. Finally, about two years ago, i got back into slr's with a D80. I have been slowly gathering gear. When i was re-learning the slr, i got a hold of Scott Kelby's and Joe McNally's books and then found David Hobby. I was starting to search for lighting gear and was trying to decide between studio and small strobe lighting. i fell in love with the idea of strobist. i do a lot of location shooting and minimal gear is the only way to go. i am also handy, so i love the idea of making things on the fly to create the lighting i need. I have now started to get some commercial assignments. i have been using the CLS as triggers (i have an SB800 and an SB900). they are great, but the line of sight issue has crept up many times. i know i have to get some triggers, because there are just too many times when i have to put a strobe somewhere and it cant see the signal. however, with times as tight as they are, i cant afford triggers yet. i have to get some faster glass first, because i am basically working with the kit lens. it is ok, but pretty slow and limiting. I would love to get your triggers to get me thru until i can upgrade them. i promise to pay it forward, with your triggers (when i replace them) and also with my other gear, as i upgrade. i think it is a great thing you are doing and i would love to be able to turn around and give someone else a hand up. thanks.

I'm so poor I don't even have a website to link back to yours. Unfortunately I live in Japan, but I'd happily pay the shipping here. I became a strobist because I studied photography at art school but came out of it with no knowledge of lighting at all. Right now I use an unreliable optical trigger or a pc cable. Both limit my success. Thanks for giving back to the community. Luke Hello, I’m a poor man and would love the GI trigger set. I’m so poor I don’t even have a website to link back to yours.

And I also liked seeing how the units mounted onto your 2 flashes. The range test was interesting but I especially liked the unboxing video. I have Canon 430EX and 580EXII flashes which interfere with Pocket Wizards. So I am thinking about the RadioPoppers. But I think I'll wait a while before buying because both systems are rather expensive and very new. I look forward to reading more about your experiences with the PXs.

I am learning something new everyday and you know I have been in contact with you about the white seamless setups. Currently I just have a couple Nikon SB28's but I will be getting some Alien Bee 800's soon if I can get past the economic downturn!! In the mean time I plan on getting another Nikon flash to have a mini 3 light setup. It would make a nice addition to my setup if I was chosen.
