Hi,

i have 2 sigma ef 500 dg super flash guns that i would like to trigger remotely.

i am not satisfied with infra red trigger since it usually fail during an out door shoot.

it seems that radio trigger is the way to go.

what brand of radio transmitter/receiver should i buy?

i noticed that sigma flash doesn't have any port (interface) to plug those radio receivers.

are there additional accessories needed?

btw i am using canon eos 350d.

thanks

hi aris,

i browsed through pocket wizards manual but there are no options to trigger ef dg 500 super using the pocket wizard receiver and connecting it to the hot foot of that flash directly.

kailangan ng flash sync port and sigma ef 500 dg doesn't have.

how can i connect the pocket wizard receiver to the flash (which does not have sync ports for cable connection)?
