Nope. I use the Bee's & the cords will work fine. You can also get a 1/4 if you ever use other brand lights, like White Lightnings, Calumet Travelites, Profoto's, and just get a reducer from 1/4 to 1/8.

Ok, I ordered his standard cord.


Any special tips on the AB's? (off base, but as long as you're here....)

In case you weren't aware of it, the AB strobes come with a long PC cord. Did you need something other than what came with the strobe?
