Anyone using this setup? Ran across this review on FlashHavoc, sounds like a pretty cool setup :cool:

Canon were basically the first to recently introduce radio based remote triggering into their own speedlight system, which has been extremely successful. But that is a relatively high priced full TTL system, where the YN-560 III is just a simple manual flash with a basic receiver (just to fire the flash) built in, and selling from around just $85 each.
The built in receiver of the YN-560 III has big practical advantages, because you simply don’t have a lot of extra pieces of gear and extra batteries to constantly transport, organize, set up and manage. That’s all built into the flash. So all you need is the one small transmitter unit to fire as many flashes as you like. Of course it saves money, too, without all those extra receivers and batteries.
Another big advantage is that you don’t have anything mounted to the foot of the flash making it higher in umbrellas and generally less stable. Or alternatively, extra cords (to go wrong) and receivers dangling around.
