A reliable Wireless Flash Trigger set (Page 2): I like my Odin a lot. Rock-solid performance. I have Pocket Wizards but I only use them with my monolights. Initially had a Yongnou set...

I was going to suggest the Odin, too. The price is far more affordable than Pocket Wizard.

I like my Odin a lot.
Rock-solid performance.
I have Pocket Wizards but I only use them with my monolights.
Initially had a Yongnou set but could not figure it out and the manual was pretty awful.
The Odin was so intuitive, I hardly even looked at the manual.
But as I said, it's not cheap for someone starting out:
The transmitter alone is $125

The Godox system is more affordable.
The new transmitter is $69 https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1369138-REG/godox_xpron_wireless_flash_trigger_transmitter.html
Receivers are $40 https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1341962-REG/godox_x1r_n_ttl_remote_controller.html/pageID/accessory
They have a very extensive line of lighting that is compatible with built-in receivers.

I just bought a Vello Freeware Fusion Basic for my Nikon 5500. The kit had a receiver and transmitter for $28.00. Got it from B&H.
Have not had a chance to use it, looking for another cable to work with my Sunpak 555 flash.

I’ve been using Vello triggers and receivers for years, have 2 sets. They work well for me and the price was right.
Someone gifted me the second set which had a cables that work with my strobes.

Check out the Godox T1X-N flash trigger (see here: https://www.tomtop.com/p-d3480.html?currency=GBP&Warehouse=CN&aid=gplaukyly&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIt6Wmi9Xm1wIVqLztCh1TLwmmEAQYASABEgIpAPD_BwE) and also the more up to date model the Godox XPro-N (https://www.tomtop.com/p-d5085.html?currency=GBP&Warehouse=CN&aid=gplaukyly&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIwZu1ydXm1wIVYrXtCh3wQQkHEAQYAiABEgJcjfD_BwE).

Should you need any more or replacement flashes then check out the Godox TT685-N (see here: https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/332088757513?chn=ps&adgroupid=46455521737&rlsatarget=pla-382128935428&abcId=1129916&adtype=pla&merchantid=114928795&poi=&googleloc=9046498&device=c&campaignid=972923753&crdt=0)

This is one idea. B&H has at least 5 other models you can look at.

take a look at godex and its adorama storebrand flashpoint.. they will support wireless ttl for Nikon, canon and sony and I think Fuji too. The flashes include the remote so all you would need to buy is the transmitter for it and about $40 and the flashes which are also reasonably priced and range from $100 to about $200 depending if you want lithium or regular aa batteries...

I would skip the older transmitter.
A bit wonky to navigate.
This New One is so much more improved.
Can't wait to get mine.

I echo many of those who have previously posted above with my support and recommendation of Yongnuo 622 transceivers. I have 4 Canon version which allow me to have up to 3 speedlights off camera either in the same or different groups. Relatively inexpensive (compared to other 'brand leaders') and therefore affordable plus reliable . . . and they use AA batteries which are easily accessible.

I've had great results with Yongnuo RF602 and RF603 triggers. Cheap, reliable, compact, and not a single misfire in 7 yrs. They have a 300 ft range (line of sight). I can fire a flash at one end of a football field while standing at the other end.

I'm also using the Yonguno 622 with a pair of 685's on my Canon's and love them...Price is right and results are great.

StrobePro is a Canadian Co. located in Calgary Alberta. I have bought many items from them in the last 4 years. Great products with even better after sale service.
Here is their trigger page. Even after the Black Friday prices are gone these are still great prices. Remember they are speaking Can $ ( 1.00 Can dollar today is worth 0.79 U.S. ) or 1 U.S. dollar gets $1.27 Cdn.

The StrobePro trigger for Fuji looks very much like it is made by Godox, a Chinese company that makes its gear under a number of different brands. At US dollars, the StrobePro is about 50% more expensive than the Godox sold at B&H. I have the Godox trigger and two of their smaller speed lights and am very impressed with their quality especially considering the reasonable prices.
