I think the Canon cameras with restricted trigger voltage are all quite old now (IIRC late 90s film cameras) it was quite a short lived issue.Just a thought, don't these have a trigger voltage a bit high for some digital cameras? off hand I think it was something like 15v from memory and Canon recomend no more that 6v for some models, I seem to remember Nikons being a bit higher but it was a few years back last time I checked, and I cant remember exactly. Might be worth checking before connecting to your camera.
Dont want to "crispy critter" your camera.
Yeah it was a while ago thinking about it. Still I wonder what voltage a radio trigger can handle, it's all electronic. There must be a safe limit.I think the Canon cameras with restricted trigger voltage are all quite old now (IIRC late 90s film cameras) it was quite a short lived issue.
edit to add
Surely everyone uses a wireless trigger nowadays?

I’m sure the radio triggers would be fine.Yeah it was a while ago thinking about it. Still I wonder what voltage a radio trigger can handle, it's all electronic. There must be a safe limit.
Yes I've still got an old early metz 45 somewhere, used to get a fair shock off the camera hotshoe if the flash was plugged in the pc socket , not reccomended in the wet... and I speak from experience I think it was a about 200v from memory, the later ones used a much lower voltage.I’m sure the radio triggers would be fine.
IIRC the ‘high voltage’ was in the hundreds for some cheap and cheerful flash guns.
