   Thank you so much for your videos. I just received my strobist kit about 1/2 an hour ago and your videos were priceless to me. (Kit didn’t come with instructions on how to put everything together).

   Ya sure you can run it like that. You have the extra cost of the sync cord but it will work.

   Hi, in the video you said that you choose to run the eBay trigger through the hot shoe instead of via the PC sync chord. It will make the flash too high for proper use with an umbrella – as you say in the part 2.

   Doesn’t a normal flash (like the Vivitar 285HV) come with a chord that runs from the flash to your camera or, in this case, the receiver? You could use the eBay triggers as Pocket Wizards and have them hanging on the side instead of being stuck under the flash. Is is possible? thanks

   great information but the black background does not help in what your showing us, so please try to light your area a little better, still great information and budget wise

   Thanks for your intro. I hardly used flash. So we can use any strobes with any cameras providing you have the hotshoe to go along? What’s the brand is that D2?

    I’m pretty sure it would work since the Panasonic FZ20 has a universal hot shoe on it meaning it can use any hotshoe flash.

    i have a question to ask…. im using a cam which isnt a dslr (panasonic lumix fz 20 ) can this wireless hot shoe help me trigger nikon speedlights with my cam , cause i dont even have a pc sync cord…so my last hope would be a wireless device, either that or get a new cam….

    thank you so very much.
    This email has helped me understand everything so much. i have a slight overload from too much reading over at Strobist.
    This has made many many things much clearer.
    Fantastic switches to the product when you are talking about it. well done!

    Good information but try to clear your nose or throat off camera as it is pretty gross to listen to on the video.
