Has anyone used one of these triggers:

I am looking for a remote trigger as the wired one I have is a bit restrictive but at over £300 the canon one is ridiculous for what is a switch!
Just wondered if these would work ok. I now people use the flash triggers from eBay that are about £10 instead of Canon's £150.

I bought 3 of the Phottix version from HKSupplies last year, they turned up from Hong Kong in less than a week. They're configurable so they can be run on different channels or all run on the same channel so that all 3 cameras release at once using a single handset. They seem surprisingly well made for the cost.

Clicky

Noticed that they now do a timer remote cord for £17 so have raided the piggy-bank again bounce

I bought the Phottix one also from HKSupplies and for the price it is fantastic, don't know the full range but I can take photos, 3 rooms away from the camera with the doors closedbiggrin . The one the OP links to looks very similar to the Phottix one
