Quick Help Needed
      #683253 - 26/07/2008 09:39

hey all, ive been asked to do a studio shoot for a friend tomorrow. im using a D80 so i need to buy the AS-15 but how many flash heads will this allow me to connect to? ive had a quick look on the internet and cant find anything. i will be mainly using bowens kit so according to their website most of the flash sync voltage is 6v. or am i missing something?

many thanks

Normally you connect the camera to a single head and then set the others to slave off that one. They detect the flash from head one & fire simultaneously. If you can't get hold of a proper Nikon connector a generic hotshoe to sync converter will do just a well and cost a lot less.

They were about three quid the last time I got a stock in from 7day shop. I always take at least 5 when my camera club has a studio shoot as it saves lots of fumbling around when each member comes up to take their turn
