Radio Triggers...

I have a few small slave flashes and triggers that I normally use in multi light setups, but I know that the location where I'll be setting up will have a bunch of other photographers, all using flashes, and the whole flash driven slave idea just won't work... So...

Can anyone suggest a brand or source for (hopefully not too expensive) radio triggers so I can run a few flashguns?

I have my 360 that I'll have either handheld or on a stand near me, and want to set another off to my right, and the third from far left (could use a reflector instead, I guess, but I have the flash already...

Since I want to use a couple older Vivitars (283 and 285), I figure I'll need one transmitter and 3 receivers... No more than 50 feet or so range from the camera...

I've seen a few from China on eBay, but was looking for something a little closer to home (preferably not eBay...)

edit : I know they've been mentioned, but I did a search and couldn't see what I thought I remembered...

Thanks, Jamie
