I've read with interest the messages about RF and IR remote interfacing projects, I'd like to put together a remote interface that triggers a camera strobe based on trigger from the camera itself. Commercial versions of this in RF area are in the several hundred dollar range. I've looked at the Ming series and the decode time I believe would not lend itself to syncing with a camera. Most camera's (35mm) sync at around the 1/60th of second speed. I have shuttered lenses that sync at upto 1/500th of a second. I have a 16F84 that I use with a direct connection to trigger via a cable a second strobe. I'd like to rid myself of the cables.

Long winded I see, my question is, are there available RF or IR modules that would decode in time to sync at 1/500th? I don't want to use unencoded modules as false trigger would be fairly expensive waste of film.
