If you are looking for a slave trigger that will work with your strobe and digital camera - this guy has what you need:

This device will trigger most strobes that fit Nikonos and Sea&Sea. The nice thing is that it will make many strobes TTL! I'm using one on a Sea&Sea YS50 w/nikonos plug and a Nikon Coolpix 4300. I can shoot fully automatic - but usually shoot manual with flash fill for total control over exposure. I leave the flash on all the time.
Matthias is a great guy - he'll ship your adapter pronto (he's in Germany) and you'll get it in a week or less. This is the ONLY way I know to get TTL for some digital cameras. Even the Ikelite is strictly manual for the 4300. Best of all - the adapter is $100 which is less than the Ikelite manual adapter and fits a variety of strobes. You might pick up a good used strobe on ebay! I use my adapter to trigger a SB101 on my D100 (manual mode only) as well. I'm not making anything on this - just a happy customer passing on info and my experience.
