I've seen the Ikelite, but since I shoot a Nikon, I use the Nikon SU-4 TTl remote. Works nicely and has a built in swivel, so you can position the sensor to look at the master flash. I typically use my SAB-23 for the on camera trigger flash, and Sunpak 433D units for remotes. It's also possible to use the SU-4 with an off camera cord like the SC-17 or my Duo-Sync to put the sensor out where it can see the trigger flash, and the flash itself behind something (like the subject) for a hair light, for example. Lots of flexibility with these TTL units. And not all that expensive.I use a flash bracket and extension cord for a portable rig. Your card looks interesting. How does that compare to "the Shell" or the "Pocket Bouncer" ? I notice yours is curved, and that's probably important. Have you tried a negative curve to diffuse the light?
One of my favorite setups, from years ago was an SB-23 on camera, and an SB-15 off camera on a Duo-Sync cord (held high and to the left with my left hand) to trigger both flash. Got some great portait "candids" with my FE-2 with that set up with the Nikkor 35-105 manual focus lens.
On camera flash seems to be what everybody wants to do, but it's really only a snapshot technique. Modern electronics or not, flash seems to be something you have to be willing to work at. Having said that, I'm very glad my N-80 has a built in flash. It's not very powerful, but it is convenient.
