Hey guys,

Just looked at the thread for Recoomdation flash unit below and though I might of found out what I needed. however it's not quit.. So., I want to investigate the possibilty of wireless slave unit for shooting Rollieflex. However Rollei's don't have a hot shoe, just a sync plug. Does any anyone have a suggestion for wireless kicker for this kind of set up? I have a sunpak that has the ability to channel in any type of wireless unit. Trying to put together a portable flash kit. adding..more specifically wireless flash transmitter.

Get a flash bracket and you can use any hotshoe mounted unit as long as it has a sync cord that is.

I just plug my CyberSunc transmitter into the sync port using a cord, and tape the CS to the side of the camera. Works fine.

The trigger doesn't really matter.

I did this with the CTR-301p

edit: except for the sync speeds. Some do better than others. the 301p can sync pretty high. You also have to worry about the flash duration too.
