Advertisement Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 Hi alexanderruas, Take a look here M8 to studio strobe sync?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
boilerdoc Posted June 13, 2007 Share #2 Posted June 13, 2007 Probably any hotshoe adapter with a PC connection will work. Nikon makes a good one, an AS-15 I think is the part number. Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

etienne_werner Posted June 13, 2007 Share #5 Posted June 13, 2007 what kind of an adapter do I need to synch my M8 to my strobes in my studio? thanks, alexander Hello Alexander, I use a wireless radio trigger called pulsar from Calumet; Pulsar There is also one called Pocket Wizard which is used by many. I believe Guy uses a very small one but I'm not sure of its name. I find using a cable very frustrating. Good luck in your search.

B&W Posted June 13, 2007 Share #6 Posted June 13, 2007 what kind of an adapter do I need to synch my M8 to my strobes in my studio? thanks, alexander I use el-skyport from elinchrom as radio trigger Works great and is rather cheap I did look into this one:MicroSync Digital - the Smallest, Smartest Wireless Strobe Sync System. as well but couldn’t find them in Norway They are smart but max sync speed is 1/180 sec Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy Sanchez Posted June 13, 2007 Share #7 Posted June 13, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) i've been using the PocketWizard radio remotes. works well, plus i don't have a PC cord to trip over or snatch the camera from my hand. works well in the field, too, for off-camera flash.

fotografr Posted June 13, 2007 Share #8 Posted June 13, 2007 If you do use a hot shot adapter, I would highly recommend using something like the Wein. It's quite a bit more expensive (around $60) but has built-in protection for electrical surges that could ruin your camera. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
harmsr Posted June 13, 2007 Share #9 Posted June 13, 2007 I use the Pocket Wizard for radio firing of everything. My lights are the R version of the ProPhoto monolights. (Pocket Wizard also built into the lights.) Ray Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wparsonsgisnet Posted June 13, 2007 Share #10 Posted June 13, 2007 Alexander, I echo the Wein suggestion. I always carry a pair of Wein HSHS adapters with me. These will keep you from frying the insides of your digital camera if an older flash dumps too much voltage thru the shoe. I did a shoot with a guy who had a microsync and I was very impressed. The Microsync guys will give you an adapter at the receiver end to fit any device. I will have to take a harder look if the max speed is only 1/180.

Cindy Flood Posted June 13, 2007 Share #11 Posted June 13, 2007 I agree with Brent and Bill. I use the Wein safe sync and it works great. I appreciate the protection that it provides, too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
haroldnaaijer Posted June 13, 2007 Share #12 Posted June 13, 2007 I am using a interfit flash transmitter. Works very well, around 80 euro's... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmk60 Posted July 25, 2007 Share #13 Posted July 25, 2007 I just bought a RF remote trigger from The Morris Co. The transmitter sits on the hot shoe and the receiver is plugged in the flash head. 4 channels. 4.5V flash sync voltage. I am assuming this is low enough not to fry camera's brain as I cannot find any spec in the manual. I have some photos of the kit but I cannot figure out how to attach them directly to this message... 99USD and it works like a dream! Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_Flesher Posted July 25, 2007 Share #14 Posted July 25, 2007 I use Pocket Wizards andthey work great. And definitely if you're going to use a direct synch adapter, use the Wein safe-synch to avoid any possibility of frying the circuitry inside your M8.
