I have a flash with no PC sync port on it, and I'd like to use it with my pocketwizards. I'm hoping this little gizmo would do the trick, but I don't want to order it and find out I'm wrong:

Hot shoe/PC sync adapter (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/89979-REG/Hama_HA_6951_Hot_Shoe_Adapter_1.html)

Thanks!

That should do it, but they're really designed to go on a camera's hotshoe and provide power via a PC terminal. The way you're using it is just the opposite, to feed power thru the PC socket to a flash. Might want to call the mfr. and be sure.

I'm sure it'll work better than the Wein Safe Sync - never did get one of those to work in any way shape or form...

Can I use a pc sync adaptor for Canon Rebel XT with studio lights above 250V? I have the SP Studio Systems Excalibur 2 Lights kit with 2 SP3200 320 W/S.

Thanks!
