Shooting alot of Action Sport photos, I have been looking for a way to radio trigger my Canon 580 EX flash for a while. The ones available in stores in Norway are extremely expensive. (and probably EXTREMELY good, but then again… they better be at that price….)

A little bit of googling around took me to a shop on EBay called Johns Camera Service, that offer EXTREMELY cheap radio controllers for small flashes…

I ordered one for the total of 29 USD (that is included shipping to Norway)… My hopes wasn’t very high, I must admit…

But today the box arrived in my mailbox.
Two working days after I ordered them from HONG KONG! Impressive it is.

They are working flawless in my experiments, but I haven’t really been able to test them shooting extreme sports yet.
Looking forward to that.

The range seem to be about 30 meters.

Here are the pictures from my two days in Hong Kong this Easter….

Watch the set on Flickr.

Last night…. It is a pretty amazing view….

This park is full of interesting signs….

In this strange little park we found a walking circuit of different stone layers…. It hurts like hell, but you are supposed to feel very relaxed in your legs afterwards…. According to two christian missionarys on the same path-del-a-pain, this is a very common thing in Hong Kong…. Sic sic city

We are spending the first part of this day in Victoria Park, in Causeway Bay in Hong Kong. Mari is in charge of buying fruit, and strange things like “Dragon Fruit”, “Rambutan” and the more ordinary “Mango” is on the menu. Later tonight we start the journey back, heading towards Moscow.

From -2 degrees in Lhasa, to 22 degrees in Hong Kong….and, obviously, the temperature is not the biggest change….

We just arrived in Hong Kong…. I think we both just got a real overload…. This city is sick….. Tomorrow will be exciting….
