580EX and XTI

[majs]

Hi,

I bet this is has a simple answer... (sorry can't find it in the forum :oops: )

So I have this 580EX (no sync ports) and a Rebel XTI. I also have an alienbee sync cord that came with my AB800. I want to use the 580EX of camera when I don't have the AB800 with me.

I know I need a hotshoe adapter for the XTI to plug the sync cord but what do I need for the 580EX?

Link to the product would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You can use a adapter like this from Flashzebra but with a 1/8 jack.

Or get a eBay V2 trigger and forget about cords, works with the Bee too.
