If you are looking for a safe sync or "wireless" way, to trigger up to 3 remote flashes then read on! This item also enables you to trigger older model flashes, which may have different PC sync contact voltages, without any risk of current flowing between them. It works well with most Digital Flashes except Canon EX Series Flashes. Please see our other optical slaves for use with EX models.
PLEASE NOTE: MAXIMUM WORKING SYNC VOLTAGE is100V.
Robustly made by Sonia (as always) this 2 piece unit comprises:
1. Optical slave unit.
2. Hot shoe (with built in control diode)
The strongly made metal hot shoe has: 1 PC male outlet for connecting the slave unit and 2 female PC sockets for connecting additional flashes with additional cords (not included). Hot shoe on top Cold shoe with standard 0.25 inch female thread on the bottom. The approximate range is about 75 ft (22m) or even more, depending on the guide number of the Master flash. The slave requires no additional power.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Any optical slave can be fooled into early triggering if your Master flash produces a "pre-flash", for white balance adjustment or red eye reduction, for example. In many cases, this "pre-flash" can be turned off, thereby avoiding the problem.
