I'm thinking of buying some studio lights but I'm unsure about a few things (excuse my naivety).
I've heard that some people have experienced the circuits in their digital camera been fried when connecting the lights via lead to their camera, as anyone experienced any problems doing it this way.
My second question is about using inferred remote to trigger the lights. Am I right in thinking that if I use 2 lights they are connected together with a sync cable then I have a receiver plugged into 1 and the sender in my cameras hot shoe and when I press the camera shutter it in turn sends the signal which fires both lights or do I need a receiver on both lights.

Never been fried, so can't comment on that.
I connect to one light from my hotshoe and when that fires all the others fire, I had assumed they responded to the flash, but I really don't know how it works other than they flash. So no you don't need a receiver on the other lights, other than whatever's already built in.

only need one light synced, others will fire as they all have a slave on them
