In my collection of photo gear that looked handy when I bought it, are several metal cold shoes. Unfortunately, when I mount a speedlight on one of them, bad things happen. Or at least good things don't happen. Are speedlights supposed to work, even with their hotshoe contacts shorted out?
And, while I'm at it. I've got a couple of radio triggers that work great with studio strobes, but they've got the mini phono jack plugs on them. So I can use them with an adapter to 1/4 inch on my Paul C Buff strobes, but I can't use them with my speedlights. My radio triggers are Blazzeo, so there's a chance their speedlight receivers will work with their studio transmitters. Or there might be an adapter from phono plug to hotshoe. Unfortunately my optical trigger shoes, which have a PC jack, the PC jack only works to trigger other lights, not to trigger the strobe in the shoe from a PC cable. -- Larry Colen [email protected] sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
