question

I am taking a photo lighting class and also need 2 to 3 STUDIO STROBE UNITS: A larger, more powerful version of the portable flash unit. This is often used in studio environments and require an external power supply or battery. I'd like to find the most affordable option. I do have a Lowel-Tota light and several soft box lights, can these be used for this purpose?
Asked by: Marsha B.
Hey Marsha,You only need this adapter if you are using strobes and do not have a PC connection on your camera. THis slides into where you would use a single small strobe on top of the camera. You would need a synch cord to plug into this adapter and then to the strobe battery pack to fire the units. I like Dyna lights, lightweight but powerful. Try renting a system. I think the Lowel Tota lights are all separate tungsten lights, not strobe, so they will just plug in to ac and what you see is what you get. Your soft boxes should be adaptable with most strobe systems. professional strobe unit. Hope this helps.

question

I have a Nikon d750. What settings should I do to attach an as-15 terminal to it and prevent the pop up flash from firing ?
Asked by: Samaresh S.
Not sure about the d750, but on my d7100, the pop up flash does not automatically pop up when the mode selector is in the Program mode. If I select Auto (little green icon on the mode wheel), the flash will pop up when there is insufficient light. You may also try the shutter, aperture, or manual mode.

I want to use my bower 926n off camera, is this what I need, and what else?Thank youIf it's just as simple for you, just stick what I need in my wish list. (o:
Asked by: Anonymous
If you wish to use the Bower 926N Speedlight Flash manually off-camera, and you are purchasing the Nikon AS-15, you would also need to purchase both the Nisha Hot Shoe/Tripod Mount, B&H # NIHTST, and a Impact Sync Cord - Male PC to Male PC - 6' (1.8 m), B&H # IMPCMPCM6, as the Bower 926N does not have a built-in flash sync terminal. However, if you need off-camera i-TTL automatic exposure, then I would recommend an off-shoe cable, such as either the Nikon SC-28 TTL Remote Cord - Coiled 3-9', B&H # NISC28, Nissin SC-01 Coiled Universal Off-Camera Shoe Cord (5'/1.5m), B&H # NINDSC01, or the longer Interfit Multi-Fit TTL Cord for Nikon/Canon/Fuji Cameras (32'/10m), B&H # INSTR137.

Hi, would I be able to attach a Canon Speedlite ...

Hi, would I be able to attach a Canon Speedlite EL-1 to this hot shoe? Alternatively, could I connect it to a Canon Speedlite Transmitter ST-E3-RT (Ver. 2) so I can control more than one Speedlite? What are my limitations? Thank You.
Asked by: Frank
The Nikon AS-15 Sync Terminal Adapter (Hot Shoe to PC) can be used to connect to the Canon Speedlite EL-1 with a PC-sync cable. The Canon Speedlite Transmitter ST-E3-RT (Ver. 2) cannot be connected, as the ST-E3-RT does not have an input terminal for a PC-sync cable. The terminal on the ST-E3-RT is only for triggering a camera.
