Off Camera Flash, Advice Needed!!
Right, I know very little about flashes, and my dad has asked me to get him a hot shoe and a 3m cord for his camera.
Right, so that'd be easy, except... which one do i get? im not buying cheap tat off ebay... so that leaves little else.. and when you get into the realms of E-TTL it loses me completely... So simply, what do i need, is it the canon TTL hot shoe adapter 3? or something else... and what lead to go with it? Confused, please help. Thanks Ste |

Re: Off Camera Flash, Advice Needed!!
Okay, my dad has decided that he just wants a simple off camera flash with a lead...
whats the best way about it, he said he wants a 3m lead... whats a good simple way of doing this... Im thinking hotshoe to pc lead to hotshoe... whats a good method, as the flash he has doesnt have a pc connector, and he wants a safe she on the camera as to not have the potential for 400v going into the onboard pc socket? advice appreciated, as it was his birthday on the 16th and i still havent got anything as of yet! |

Re: Off Camera Flash, Advice Needed!!
hmm... i'd seen those, but need one a bit longer if possible
 i was thinking along the lines of The Flash Centre - Wein Safe Sync (Hotshoe to Hotshoe) with a cable HAMA Flash Cable PC 5M - 6975 - reviews, compare UK prices, buy online but the fash doesnt have a pc input, so would i need another hotshoe at the camera end? i.e. Hot shoe to PC adapter :: Hilton Photographic Online Store |
