Wireless Control of one or more Speedlite 580EX (II), 550EX, 430EX and/or 420EX off-camera

With the Speedlite 550EX and the Speedlite Transmitter ST-E2, it is now possible to use multiple Speedlites under full E-TTL control and without the need for any interconnecting wires. Developed in conjunction with the Speedlite 550EX and the EOS-3 camera, this master control device for a wireless Speedlite flash system meets professional and advanced amateur standards. Its dedicated transmitter controls up to 3 Canon 550EX Speedlites as slave units 33ft. away outdoors and 49.5ft. away indoors. It is mounted as a clip-on with shoe lock lever and locking pin. Under low-light or low-contrast conditions it emits an AF-assist beam linked to the EOS-3's 45 focusing points.
