Mga bossing, Iv heard if you want additional flashes in your system for CLS or light triggered remote flashes, meron daw cheap Flash alternative para sa nikon and canon cameras. Mejo not that hi-tech pero ok naman cya sa capabilities and i think good for daily use. Some wedding photographers sa pinas who use many remote flashes to light up an outdoor wedding have these flashes. Cheap around PHP 6k or less. And ok din naman yung resulta sab nung isa na naka usap ko. For the price of one sb800, you can have 2 or 3 of these. Of course not as feature packed as sb800 pero okay din naman.

Here is the main website http://www.nissindigital.com/

Sabi nya yung Di466 pwede mag trigger ang slave like the SU-4 ng SB-800 or like yung meron optical trigger sensor unit nka attach. Pero yung guide number nya mejo mahina lang cguro.
yung isa Di622 mas bago.Hindi pwede na ma trigger sa mga camera na walang pre-flash(like Nikon CLS capable cameras). Pero mas maraming features available and higher power output.

I saw the Nissin DI622 model (for canon) in a store in bur dubai cost about 650 AED matawaran pa. Surely meron din for Nikon kpag order.

Yesterday's shoot we got to try out the Phottix 4 channel Wireless Radio Flash Trigger's cost about 125 AED in bur dubai too.

Si Titz nag-refer sakin nung store.. Sa Dream City Electronics, Al fahidi street, behind astoria hotel, bur dubai.. Walk distance from  bur dubai bus station. They are the ones selling the Nissin Flashes too.

ah yun pala. naka punta na pala kami sa place na yun. salamat sir jun ha.

Kuya Jun, mungkey,

ung store na un mura talaga dun ko din nabili ang camera ko at ibang peripherals, kaso ingat lang kyo tuso kasi ung tindero dun dapat alamin mo muna ung original price sa ibang store kasi ngpapatong cla d same as price sa mall lalo na kung la kang idea sa price nabibilihin mo pero maayos naman kausap at ibibigay sayo din ang pinakamamababang price. i-try nyo rin sa perfecta same place lapit ito sa my national store at signal light.

Bad news, I've just read from photomalaysia forum that the phottix wireless trigger will not work with nissin flashes..

Ay bad news talaga. good thing is that pwede cya sa Vivitar 285HV. Ive heard its cheaper and more powerful flash in terms of light output. But looking more like a vintage model. hehe.

Mixc which way b ung perfecta..?
National store ung distributor ng Canon..?

sir titz, ung perfecta along fahidi road, kung mngagaling ka ng astoria hotel or sa dream city derechuhin mo ung fahidi road papuntang arabian court yard. from dream city makikita mo ung signal (facing thru arabian court yard) nasa left side sya tapos ung national store papasok ng kanto from signal left side din.

lapit lng ito sa dream city tawid k sa kbila cguro mga 5-6 stores lng ang pagitan, before signal ito.

yes, national store ung distributor ng canon

sana naintindihan mo he he he!

micx, sketch mo naman... hehehe.

e2 na butch

thanks micx for the help... ill try to visit one of this days.
