Hi everyone:
I'm wondering if you can help me. I'm interested in high speed photography using a sound trigger (glass breaking, balloons popping, etc.).
I purchased a sound trigger from a seller on Ebay. Wouldn't you know it - the sync cord will not work with my Canon 580EXII speedlight. The sync cord for the sound trigger is a 2.5 mm male/male cord. 2.5 mm male on both ends. That is what the seller indicated I would need. The speedlight sync cord looks to be unique to Canon. The person I purchased the sound trigger from said I could sync it (the sound trigger) to a pocketwizard, which in turn, would trigger the flash. My question for you is this: Has anyone had this type of issue? Do you have any thoughts or advice on how I would set this up?
I'd appreciate any advice you might have. Thanks.
