Hotshoe --> PC connector
I am needing a hotshoe to PC connector and was wondering if they were all pretty much the same? I saw several different ones listed, but wasn't sure if brand is a factor. Thanks RyanH Jan 14 08 01:39 pm Link The basic Hotshoe/PC connectors are pretty much all the same barring materials used. Some are cheaper than others. There are also safesync connectors that include a voltage regulator to limit the sync voltage to under 6 volts for digital cameras.

Jan 14 08 07:14 pm Link Most modern studio flashes has a 5 volts trigger voltage, only the old studio flashes uses 12 volts! If you are worry, use a radio trigger, I know the Bowens pulsar is 3 volts. That way you could avoid high voltage going through your camera via sync lead!
