I'm lost....need help....

1shot4u · 23rd of July 2010 (Fri)

I have a Canon 40D, Canon 580EX, and a Canon 430EX flash. I borrowed 3 Pocket Wizards from a friend. How do I connect the triggers to the flash, or can I? Am I missing something here. The connection I thought was for the flash is for a bracket mount, so says the manual. Thanks in advance. Stephen.

Stephen, we're going to need to know which pocket wizards it was that you borrowed before we can help you as there are different ones that connect in different ways.

Flash Zebra has everything that you need. If you need help picking the right cable, just email Lon, the owner.

I use this adapter.

I removed the loose hotshoe that came with my umbrella bracket and replaced it with this. It has a threaded socket in the bottom that screws right in the bracket post. No need to worry if your flash has a sync port. Just slide it into this adapter and plug the cable into your trigger and fire away.
