buffumjr Member  168 posts Joined May 2013 More info | May 26, 2013 07:25 | #1 Has anyone, particularly electronics enthusiasts, kludged together a device for reading the EM pulse from the flash strobe and emulating the hot shoe signal in a hot shoe attached to the outside of the camera? This would allow a camera NOT equipped with a hot shoe to have one, and take advantage of all the accessories that are hot shoe driven. There are lots of point and shoot cameras out there whose capabilites apporoach that of an entry DSLR. Politics is a game of lies. He who tells the best lies the best, wins.

They have S1 and S2 mode, the S2 ignoring the pre-flash from cameras that don't have a manual power option (TTL only). So your compact cameras in built flash will trigger them.

May 26, 2013 17:35 | #8 Was leaning toward the Neewer, on price. Good reviews, too. Will check the reviews more closely for range, reliability, etc. Good to read ALL the reviews, not just the 5 stars. Found out the YN-460 is "run away!", but the 560 is well thot of. The Mark III has some interesting features, but they won't be useful to me for awhile. Politics is a game of lies. He who tells the best lies the best, wins.
