What Is This Please?

Found in box of stuff.

Looks like a remote trigger type thing but can anyone help with brand name etc?

Thanks in advance.

snoops..its a slave unit flash trigger; activated by another flash. It is connected to a flash by a PC chord

I have one by Nissin, called syncho -eye; and it looks exactly like yours. So it could very well be a Nissin.

Look up the F&S Marriots website, there is one for sale at 6GBP

Thank you very much - there are two of them in little black & white boxes
that look like little books.

yes snoop; they usually came in a pair; the idea being one could use 2 off camera flash. I guess, one as the key light, the other as fill lights.

Pretty robust units too; mine work fine. The black plastic box used to go in a cardboard box which had the manufacturers name.

Looks like a Sonia optical flash slave trigger.

I have one identical - very sensitive and still works fine after 20 years
