New Toy : Phottix Aster Wireless Flash Trigger PT-V4
I have always been wanting to get creative with flash for a long time just that playing with strobe its not only difficult but expensive at the same time.
Coming from Canon to Wirelessly trigger your camera there are many options like having a 7D, 2 units of 580EX2, or 1 unit 580EX2 and 1 unit 430Ex2, radio poppers, pocket wizards, and etc. And all this would cost a huge damage to my wallet as i am not making much money out of photography so i decided to opt for a cheap one, got mine like for RM120.
The wireless trigger i bought is Phottix Aster Wireless Flash Trigger PT-V4 and it can be trigger either by radio frequency or optically by flash. the main reason i bought this over the more famous and cheaper tetra was because its a low profile flash trigger and feels more solid for a cheap stuff.
The only down side is that it does not support ETTL flash readings like radio popper and pocket wizard with cost thousand, so i need full manual on camera and on flash to take picture which makes it hard to be used during events.

Here's how it looks like, i didn't took the picture, got it over Google. and a few try out shoots below with my brother.
Let the experimenting begin, any models?
