Me being imprecise again.... You need only a "dead" (no connections) connector that will mount on the HSG and allow you to mount the flash on it. The HSG and flash will then be insulated from each other. The connection from the flash to the camera will be by the 5P cable. Thus you will get all the tricks of the digital flash, off camera. > The only thing I then need is a bracket to link the camera with the > HSG. Does your HSG have the stainless/plastic part that attaches to the bracket you attach to the camera? I have a spare camera bracket you could borrow. These parts are ridiculously expensive new. They never break but to find them secondhand is very much a trial of luck - they are almost never listed properly in Jessop's secondhand catalogue, for instance. They do, however appear in bargain basement bins - I got a 4P cable on Thursday for �1. Wouldn't expect to pay any more for the bracketry. mike
