Hi,
I'm looking at firing a 430EX using a sound trigger which closes a contact.
The 430EX doesn't have a PC socket so the only way is via the hot shoe terminals.
So was wondering if anyone could recommend the best way to wire it up. I was thinking of getting a hot shoe-to-pc cord adaptor and stripping the end of the PC cord to wire it up to the sound trigger.
Any other (cheap) options?
Something like this (http://www.diyphotography.net/diy-hot-shoe-adapter)would be ideal but I don't have access to an old/spare hot shoe!
