Re: building a studio at school

[Don Lintner <lintner@xxxxxxx>]

I've been using a Wein SSR transmitter for the last 5+ years with the built in slaves in my Elinchrome monolights. Use this on a D70, D2H, D100 and they all work flawlessly until you stand too far in front of the strobes or the battery in the transmitter runs low. I never did anything to disable the preflash, I don't think that comes into play with a 1 pin hotshoe unit, just on the dedicated multi-pin flash models. The SSR does cost about $100 if I remember.

well... put on a IR transmitter on the hotshoe... PC sockets are a pain the the b***... i prefer the wireless way and most strobes should be able to be triggered by IR... i have used the D70 in a studio with IR transmitter on the hotshoe... cost less than $30 and it works like a charm... worse case scenario? get the radio transmitter and a receiver but this option is rather expensive amd unless you are shooting outdoors i would nto recommend this solution.
