skyports to 3 flashes.

[samcox89]

Ok, yesterday i found my third, and possibly best value for money, flash - an sb-26 for £25. So my line-up is an 580II, 430 and the sb-26. On to my question, does anyone know the cheapest place to buy skyports to sync them all up?

Cherryrig?????
I bought my uni set for £109.99 from Digital Depot but had to get the additional receiver fro £90 odd from Robert White as they were the only people with one in stock at the time!

Hello :)

I bought mine from Speedgraphic here (http://www.speedgraphic.co.uk/prod.asp?i=16899&1=Elinchrom+EL%2DSkyport+Universal+Trigger+Set). £115 and they are on order at the moment but normally come in quick.

Extra recievers (http://www.speedgraphic.co.uk/prod.asp?i=17679&1=Elinchrom+EL%2DSkyport+Universal+Receiver) are £76. Again on order.

You could try here thou The Flash Centre which say they have both in stock

Uni set (http://www.theflashcentre.com/elinchrom-skyport-universal-set-i834.html) - £116
Extra receiver (http://www.theflashcentre.com/skyport-universal-receiver-i978.html) - £76

Don't forget post and package thou


To sync them all you will need these cables (http://www.speedgraphic.co.uk/prod.asp?i=15349&1=PocketWizard++PC+Plug+to+WizardPlug), as you have three flashes three cables. I found Speedgraphic to be a good place to get them from. However because the 430 does not have a PC socket you will need this (http://www.speedgraphic.co.uk/prod.asp?i=18037&1=Hot+Shoe+to+Minijack+Adaptor), to create one.

Therefore if you get all the stuff from Speedgraphic you list would look like this

Hope that helps you out, hopefully

Thanks for that cherryrig. Appreciate your help :)

[samcox89]

just one more quick question. for my 430 (which hasn't got a pc input) can i just clip one of these (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PC-Sync-Hot-Shoe-Adapter-for-Canon-580EX-550EX-430EX_W0QQitemZ120273660229QQcmdZViewItem?hash=ite m120273660229&_trkparms=72%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C65%3A12&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14) on the bottom and wire it up with a pc cord to a skyport?

[fletch5]

thats the one sam.


cherryrig, try organising a group buy for the things:thumbs:

[cherryrig]

Group buy??

How does this work???

[fletch5]

you sort out a way to buy loads and they give you a discount for bulk purchasing, you then flog on at a reduced rate:) sort of like the TP neck straps

[cherryrig]

Ooooo

I see now. :lol:

I'll think about it hahaha

[Treesie]

Sam, thats what I was wondering. Is it the same as this

I was kind of wandering exactly what fits to what
