    In a word, no. Had a lot of trouble with mine, one had to have the pcb replaced. They operate just a triggers now. Have a look at some reviews of the pocket wizard copies (phottix/calumet sell them)

    I got the Yongnuo RF-602.
    1 Transmitter and 2 recievers for 35 euro on ebay.

    They work great.
    Unlimited wonderful.

    It all depends on what you want.

    Do you want the range?
    Do you want the reliability?
    Do you want TTL mode?
    Do you want to be able to remotely control the flash power in manual mode with the AC3 controller?

    They work much better with the 580EX flashes than the newer 580EXII for some reason. Well I know the reason, it's a radio frequency interference issue. :)

    If you have the newer 580EXII flashes then you should probably wait until they have fixed these issues or get something else.
