Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon STE2 Speedlite Transmitter for Canon 580EX II, 430EX, 430EX II Speedlites
Customer Review: Great way to get the flash off the camera
Summary: 4 Stars
For a long time, I wanted to get the flash off the camera; and there are only a few options: Flash cord, STE-2, and Radio transmitters, to name a few; the STE-2 is a great compromise. It works great indoors; it even works outdoors; although, not as good as indoors. It works 90% of the time if you are in a shaded area; about 50% of the time in direct sunlight (depending on distance) I used it to shoot my daughter 50 feet away under some trees and it worked.
One point to take away is that you need line of sight; even indoors, if you place the camera in portrait mode (having the camera sideways)make sure that the STE-2 is on the correct side; for example, i was shooting a talent show and I had the flash on a stand on the left side of the stage; I was in the middle of the auditorium, and all worked great; except when I placed the camera in portrait mode with the STE-2 to the right, so my hand and the lens were blocking the line of sight from the STE-2 to the flash.
In conclusion, I highly recommend the STE-2 as a great way to start with wireless flash.
