    If you're worried about budget of $80/flash cybersyncs, you can spend about $20 per flash for wires and splitters from flash zebra.... yes, a hassle, but a nice plan B if your batteries die in your radio triggers and wires can go behind things, whereas optical slaves often don't work behind things, so you have to sometimes move your flashes to where they can see the trigger flash, but at that position they may not have the visual effect you want.. (i.e. backlight,etc) You can also try some aluminum foil cupped around your optical slave so it *might* see the main flash, but it's often a hit-or-miss thing, okay for a still life, but not a shot with a client or subject....
