I have read somewhere of surges damaging a digital camera but can't remember if it applied to strobes being fired via the hotshoe or via the synch socket. Is it OK to go ahead and just plug the lead into the S2 and fire away or should I take precautions? If it's not OK to use it, what are the alternatives?
I've got an S2 that I've used to fire 5000k strobe packs from the sync without any damage. It never damaged my SinarBacks so I figured the S2 would be fine also. Sensible advice would be to use a Wien adaptor though...
The only heartstopping moment I've had was with a Metz 32 on the hotshoe when it made a terrific popping noise. Still seems to work alright, thought I don't use the 32 any more.
