So I have this flash that i would like to use off camera. Is there a shoe setup that will make this work.
I have a 16 channel wireless slave strobe Trigger.
Is there something that I can hook up to the shoe that I can plug this trigger into??

Thanks,,, and BYW....... it has been great getting info from everyone, one day I hope to also contribute,,,,,,

Try looking at the stuff that FlashZebra.com has. What you'll need is an adapter that has a hotshoe on one end (assuming that your flash does not have a sync terminal of any type) and a plug or some type of connector on the other end to connect to the remote trigger.

BTW, before doing anything, make sure that your flash can either be set to manual mode or auto mode (i.e. auto-thyristor mode, not dedicated TLL mode). If not, you'll have no way of really controlling your flash output.
