how to link this up

htthach · 24th July 2007

Hi i'd like to ask how to link these equipment up to fire the 580ex II off camera.

1/ YS-A jinbei transmiter mount by hot shoe (male)
2/ YS-A jinbei trigger (receiver) has a 3.5mm jack (male) output
3/ 580ex II with pc sync (female) and hot shoe (male)
4/ canon 5D with hot shoe (female) and pc sync (female)
5/ cable with 2 heads: 3.5mm jack (male) and pc sync (male)

all i want is to trigger the 580ex ii off camera wirelessly

Wired

1) Get a male-male PC Sync Cord, this looks like the cheapest option.

Wireless

1) For wireless, get a hotshoe adaptor that accepts 3.5mm jack (not sure if such a product is around, but i guess so)

2) Modify the 580EX II to accept 3.5mm jack

3) Buy a 3.5mm jack - PC male-tip cord (Cathay is selling i think for their Skyport units), get a 3.5mm female-female adaptor

Or

Get PWs. The default cords that ship with the units will work on the 580EX II w/o further issues.
