430ex: proper hot shoe to pc adapter...

[QuanJ]

Hello everyone! Good day to you all!

I need a little help with getting my 430ex the proper hot shoe to pc adapter to work this flash on a stand/off camera that will be triggered with a PW2.

I got one from amazon but I can't get it into the shoe, like this one...

You know the 430ex doesn't have a pc sync input so I'm have trouble locating on that will work. Anybody using a 430ex off camera with pw's??

Would this work better...

I have a sunpak 383 that is on point with firing with it's PW...and my 580ex II is on my bracket I'm work local, they both have pc sync inputs.

Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Thanks in advance!

That Kalt adapter is for a camera hotshoe. It has no contacts for connecting to a flash foot.

Flashzebra has one, but he's out of stock right now:

You could use one of these, with an adapter cord (PC male - miniplug male)

Or you could get this one from Paramount:

Works well, except from not having a tripod thread
