Should be with me on my return from my hols - so hopefully can get some models to try em out with _________________ -----------------------------------------------------
Hopefully might be instructions with it - going to need some.
Never had this good a bargain before - he has just sent me message to same effect (not ill willed - but hoping I have fun with them) and informing me that the softbox alone was £90 last year. _________________ -----------------------------------------------------
Well the kit has arrived, not much time to play as I am still going thorugh those holiday snaps from last week.
Kit is as described, but testing them has given me a little query.
There is no sync lead as there is a wireless transmitter and receiver.
Transmitter sits on the hot shoe on camera, with lead from it to the sync terminal -
problem 1 - lead is very very loose on the terminal.
The models lamps light, test firing button for flashes work, only one slave flash, other holder has no bulb, but seems to work on testing.
Problem 2 - might have something to do with problem 1 - as shooting from camera does not trigger the flashes - but the led pulses as the shutter release button is pressed, so signal must be getting through.
Popping up the inbuilt speedlight, and taking shot, all flashes flash, - hmm maybe dialling down the speedlight power might do something here - just talking aloud a thought I just had.
So some working out to do - but got to get the holiday snaps done to keep the other half happy.
