PC Sync

[ElizaMM]

I am trying to find another reasonably priced PC sync cable with 2.5mm jack and a 5mm plug, but cannot find that configuration. We use these in studio for the strobes, but have to provide our own. I cannot find it on the Henrys site. Does anyone know where else?

Try eBay, or Speedotron. Why not just go for a wireless trigger system. I haven't used sync cords in >10 yeasts and you couldn't pay me to go back to them!

Thanks for the suggestions, tirediron. Re wireless -- it's a school studio -- that's the setup. I have wireless triggers for home (speedlights) but they don't mount on the studio strobes.

There are lots of cheap triggers that will output to 5mm mono.

So, I would purchase a transmitter for my camera, plus a compatible receiver that would plug into the 5mm jack on the studio strobe - is that right? Strobes with built-in radio receivers would be better, but that may be a long wait.

Kee-rect. This sort of set-up (not recommending this one in particular, just as an example), just need to a 2.5mm -> 5mm cord. There's dozens more as welll. Yongnuo, Newwer, and Cactus are common consumer brands. Pocket Wizard is the industry standard.
