This optical slave will work with most flash units but it will NOT work with the Canon EX flash units.
You must have a cord to connect this optical slave to your flash unit. Many flash units come with a PC cord that will connect to this optical slave.
This device will immediately fire a connected flash unit when another flash burst is detected. This allows a remote flash to be fired without any connecting wires.
It requires no batteries or other power; it runs off the flash unit it is connected to.
It works with both small, battery-powered flash units and studio flash units.
The connector on the optical slave is a female PC connector.
The triggering flash must not emit a pre-flash as this will prematurely fire the connected flash.
It is small, about ½ x ¾ x 1 inches. The slave and circuitry is encased in solid resin, so it is extremely rugged.
This optical slave also pushes directly onto the male PC port on the FlashZebra.com Item #0064 and FlashZebra.com Item #0115 hotshoe adapters.
