Connecting Skyport to flash units
Posted: Wed Jun 11, 2008 5:20 pm
Howdy.
So the arrival of my Skyports is imminent, allowing me to play around with off camera flash. Problem is that my flash unit is a 430EX, meaning that the only way to connect flash and receiver is via hot-shoe adapter - 3.5mm adapter.
Flashzebra is completely out of stock with not indication as to when he will be able start producing them. So i figure, that making my own won't be that difficult. The only problem is that i have no idea where to source the female hot shoe mounts locally. DSE / Tandy all yield nothing! Do i have to look overseas?
Any suggestions?
