Best Answer

Any remote flash can be triggered with a long cord in the camera body sync socket or hot shoe mounted sync cord (which satisfies the criteria in your question). To be truly wireless, I can think of two options.

1) A small, hot shoe mounted slave flash triggers the remote flash when a sensor attached to the remote sees the slave go off. Downside: Anyone else's nearby flash will likely trigger your remote, distance is limited, slave may not work in high ambient light.

2) A camera mounted radio transponder signals a receiver connected to the remote. Good range, ambient light not a factor. Downside: will cost about $400.
