Help With T2i, Vello Freewave & Wireless flash triggering....

Hi,

I'm using my T2i with an external strobe triggered by a Cowboy studio wireless trigger.

I'm using the Vello Freewave as a remote shutter release.

My camera is in manual mode, with shutter speeds ranging from 1/60 to 1/200.

When I release the shutter from the camera, or using a cheap generic Canon IR remote from Best Buy,

my exposures are great, and everything works as expected.

My problem is, when releasing the shutter with the Vello, I get mainly black frames, occasionally a partially black frame(as if sync speed was set too high) and even less frequently, a properly exposed frame.

Any ideas what to look at. There is little info to go by on the Vello site, and nothing really camera specific in the manual.

Anyone using the Freewave with wireless flash triggering?

Thanks....
