G3 and studio flash using hot shoe adapter

Can anyone tell me urgently whether I risk damaging my G3 using a hot shoe adapter linked to external studio flash ? I have a club night tomorrow where I hope to use my G3 for the first time connected to the studio set-up via an adapter.

Afer reading other posts on the damage that can be done to the G3's circuitry when using non-specified flash units, I am tempted to fall back on my old EOS 650. However, I would really like to have the immediate benefit of digital at the session.

Any experience/opinions out there ? An early response would be very much appreciated.

Thanks in anticipation

Dave

In my experience Dave (that's with the G1, G2 and G5) you won't have any problem connecting studio flash via a hot-shoe adapter.

Cheers,
Barry

Try to find a "safe sync" before you do your shoot.

Thanks for the link. I'm tyrying to find a supplier here in the UK. After doing a bit of research around the subject of flash voltages, I chickened out and used the camera flash, at 1/3 power, to trigger the slave and it worked well. My only real problem was the limit of f8 at ISO 50 with the light set-up. I could have done with f11.

Thanks again

Dave
