ELinchrom Skyport and 430 ex

[AWinther]

Hi everyone.

I have just bought the Elinchrom skyports and i want them to connect with my speedlite 430 ex. What kind of adaptor/cords should i use?

I have seen a few people putting alot of different cords together, but isn't there a better way? an adaptor with the right input for cords or with the propper cord attached on it?

Best Regards

This will connect to the the Skyport and give you a hot shoe to mount the 430.

Do you know of any other company.. I live in Denmark Europe and its sometimes quite expensive to order from outside europe. Are there any alternatives?

B&H has one (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/109454-REG/Kaiser_201301_PC_to_Hot_Shoe.html) BUT, you would have to modify the plug by removing the PC connection and installing the 1/8th miniplug that is required to fit your Skyport receiver.

That's what makes Flashzebra parts attractive because they have the correct plug on the end.

Good luck.

Umbrella adaptor is here at Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Adorama-Universal-Swivel-Holder-4117/dp/B0011FWQPA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1244238804&sr=8-3)

Unfortunately I can't recommend a European retailer but I'm sure there has to be one.

Search around for a miniphone plug to hot shoe. They must be available.
