I need a flashgun, nothing to unusual there of course. However, I don't need one for my camera....
I'm trying to build a speed camera. Don't worry, I'm not looking at worrying motorists, this is for a child's car themed bedroom.
What I need is a flash unit which is:
a) very cheap - second hand off ebay, bargain basement level
b) is battery powered (nothing to unusual there of course)
c) Can be remotely triggered (this is where I'm struggling!). Ideally something which can be fired by pushing a button attached to the base of the speed camera - I'm not sure how possible this is so I'm open to suggestion.
d) one that goes on 'standby' or low power mode when not in use. I really don't want to be dismantling the box to turn it on each time, nor do I want to have to change the batteries on a daily basis
I know this is a weird request, but if any of you guys can help I'd really appreciate it!
