The best, simplist way to get the flash off camera.

There are much cheaper knock-offs avilable.

Thanks -- would you need to be holding it or have someone else hold it though?

I have a Sunpak 16r pro ringflash and if I'm not using that, I would use a continuous light source. I personally don't think off camera strobe is very easy for macro photography. Ring flash outside, when continuous light source isn't available, and always either ring flash or a continuous source indoors.

Continuous light offers better control over the shadows and how harsh the light appears. And, of course, ringflash doesn't have issues with shadows, either.

Yes, but that was not part of the original question.
