Hi
I was guttered to find that the flash i recently purchased failed to have a PC socket for remote firing.
I'm in the process of building a remote trigger with a mate. Which will use infra-red beams to trigger a flash unit making it easier to capture high speed shots like droplets hitting objects, etc. This will be done in low light with the camera set to 'bulb'
Triggering the camera instead (via the remote shutter socket) is also an option but i think that might create a larger time delay (due to slight shutter lag) then triggering the flash. So thought i'd look into ways to trigger the flash.
Anyways, I was wondering whether one of these adapters will allow me to link my 40D to the adapter with use of a pc cord (not hot shoe) then attach my flash to the adapter with use of the hot shoe?? Does anyone know??
I know the adapters are supposed to be used on cameras which do not have a PC socket, to be used as an output to trigger external flash units.
Thanks in advance
