or is there an alternative low cost item such as a Yongnnuo model that would work with my camera and flash gun?

there are ttl triggers by yongnuo that can trigger a flash using radio signals (no flash/IR trigger) ... in my opinion, they are very useful as they don't need line-of-sight and can trigger around corners and through walls ...

if you use the ttl triggers, you will not need your built in flash and will not have to worry about unwanted signal flash reflections ...

the triggers also have an af-assist beam to achieve focus in low light or low contrast conditions ...

here is the official ebay store:

though i'm sure you could scratch a few more dollars off that price if you google it ...

hope this helps ...
