Need help with Wireless Triggers

I love taking outdoor portraits with flash. Currently I have only one speedlight (Canon 568 EX II) and a 60x60 softbox. I will buy another speedlight (Most probably from Yongnuo) later.

I have a Pawn trigger (Pixel TF-361) which serves me well but doesn't support High Speed Sync. So, I'm looking for a wireless flash triggering system that can handle HSS. I'm short on budget too. I can't go beyond 150-170$.

Can you suggest me some?

I was looking at two of these linked down below.

Thanks in advance.

Pocket Wizards are your best bet. They are awesome.

You might be able to pick up the firs generation Phottix Odin Trigger for canon fairly cheap now that the ii has come out. You will need the transmitter for the camera and a receiver for each flash. You should be able to find a kit of the 3 pieces easy enough. It is a quality system and you can control the power of each flash from the trigger.

Shaun is on the money! I was ready to drop the money on pocket wizards until my Shop and a Photographer for Nat Geo turned me on to Phottix Gear. Now my B2's and B1's are living in perfect harmony with my Speedlights.

Profoto B1's and 2's? Cool :) I assume you have to run the receiver on them (i.e you can't get the phottix to talk directly to the air)?

You can find used Pocket Wizard II's for around $75 or less.
