Rebel Xsi
what do you need to connect a Canon speedlite 450ex ii flash to a Canon Rebel xsi wirelessly on a stand?
i have a canon rebel xsi, just got a Canon Speedlite 450ex ii and i purchased a light stand, and i was wondering what parts i would need to make the flash wireless, and would that adapter to make it wireless connect to a flash stand? and also, what is a good, cheap wireless adapter for the flash.
In the wireless world, cheap is another way of saying “less reliable”. These are not bad, but you need to put up with some occassional misfires on the flash.
Try to look at http://www.gadgetinfinity.com
They have a decent wireless setup that will not cost an arm and a leg. You will need a bracket that connecte the light stand to the receiver / flash. Here is one on eBay. It is all plastic and not too rugged – I think there are better on eBay but don’t see them right now.

Finally, with this type of wireless setup, you need to set the power output on your flash manually (I’m hoping you mean 430EX II – which has manual power settings – I’m not familiar with a 450ex ). It is no longer a dedicated flash in this setup, and you will need to learn how to use your camera in M mode – manual exposure mode (not P, green box, Portrait, Av etc – only M).
