If you have a studio set up and use it with an XT/XTi...What do you use and how do you have your camera and lights set up?

Acording to B&H customer service...regarding the use of WEIN safe sync adapter on the hot shoe...

"Your camera must be set to manual exposure mode with a shutter speed of
1/60th -1/125th os second. Canon cameras do have issues with polarity.
Many users end up using an IR remote in place of a cabled sync. The Wein
does not drop voltage, but protects for input higher than 6v."

Or...What wireless system would work well. My SP lights do take a very small male "miniphone" connector.



6D, 60D, Various L and non-L Lenses and more gear than I have time to use. ;)

I just chatted with Kevin at B&H.
This is what he suggests for my set up, shooting at home. I just ordered it.

I wish I would have seen this before buying the safe sync.

If you want to buy a slightly used WEIN safe sync at half price let me know.
