You should be able to trigger with your 5DMk2 in body flash, no? Or, are you thinking of something else?

A 5D MkII does not have a pop-up flash and a 430EX II flash cannot act as a master, only as a slave
(you have to buy a 580EX II flash to get that feature).
There are many popular radio triggers, for instance the PocketWizard,
RadioPopper and Phottix Odin. See http://www.bellissimaphoto.co.uk/photographers/pocket-wizard-versus-phottix-odin-versus-radio-popper-flash-triggering.html.
If you are technically inclined, see http://arduino.cc/forum/index.php/topic,7793.0.html
or if you want a very capable trigger which is readybuilt, see https://triggertrap.com/.
Addendum: http://www.sylarena.com/#mi=1&pt=0&pi=4&p=-1&a=0&at=0 is a very
good site to learn more about flashes and Canon bodies.
Have fun! |

How about having one 430EX II on top of the camera
and let it pop off your second 430EX II, located elsewhere? |

Thank you for your suggestion would you recommend any specific model of Younguo for 5d mark II?
Found few on ebay:
- Yongnuo RF-603 wireless flash trigger C3 £25
- Yongnuo YN-622C Wireless E-TTL Flash Trigger £57 + sync cable £8
I believe this tow are only working as a triggers or transceiver/trigger ?
