I have a Nikon D3200 and three Photogenic flashes. I am currently using a cord to set off the one flash and the other two are slaves. I am looking to go wireless. Any recommendations?

I've been satisfied with my Cowboy Studio remote trigger...inexpensive but reliable so far.

Yongnuo 603N. They are Transceivers so they are universal. I have 6 of them to control up to 5 external flashes, very dependable and they use very economical AAA batteries.

Tell me about the warranty. One article I read said with Yongnuo it was under warranty but you had to send it to China.

Yongnuo products all come with a 1 year warranty but they have no USA service center. I will say that in over 2 1/2 years with these triggers they have performed flawlessly. Unfortunately I cannot say the same for their flashes. I bought two and both failed in a few months, I replaced them with Altura units and they have worked great. (The Altura triggers were not at all reliable though, go figure.)

Have to agree with Shooter, I use the Yongnuo 603C II with my Canon, and I have never had a problem.Been using them for over a year. The 603C II is the second generation, and it has the wheel lock, keeps the trigger from sliding off.

You can fire them from the camera flash.
Nikon has an inexpensive cover for the camera flash if you don't want it's light but allow it to fire the others.
