Same, no problems with my 40D. Thanks!

Posting out to BigSteve first thing Monday morning (er today).

PMing BigSteve now. :) Many thanks to 30psi for getting it out to me.

Ah, I think that first link should be the one I need. Well, I assume it's for the flashes hotshoe as it mentions the 580/550/430ex. I made the mistake of buying a hotshoe adapter for the camera's hotshoe before, but at least I can use that on my 350D. Thanks! Edit - Reading the description...

Yes, that's precisely what I want, according to various discussions it's meant to be the only way to have the 580ex work as a wireless master if you want to use a pc sync cable. Edit - whoops, you replied whilst I was typing. I'm referring to your first post about tricking the 580ex into...

Bumpy - Can someone link me to the correct hotshoe adapter I'd need to put on the 580ex, I've still yet to find one. :'( Many thanks to anyone who can help.

Eek, that looks a bit too technical for me haha, I just know I'd completely mess it up. :lol: My male-male and male-female sync cables arrived but then I found out that the 580ex mk2 won't work as a wireless master when connected via the PC socket rather than hotshoe. So i've now had to get a...

Aha, but that's another of those coiled cables like the off-camera shoe cord that pulls my light stands over. :bonk: In the end I found a seller on ebay selling 30cm male-male cables which I'll daisychain with a conventional 5m male-female cable for a slightly unelegant but effective...

Not sure about TTL. I'd survive if I had to control the outputs manually though I think. Judging by the image of the sync cable posted by cherryrig, it appears I need a cable with the connection on the left on both ends. My 580 showed up this morning and the sync connector is the same as the...

I've got a 580ex mk2 on the way and I'd like to use it off-camera, I understand I can use a pc sync cable between my 40D and the 580ex, albeit a slightly unorthodox male to male cable? Can someone link me to where I can get one quite quickly? Don't want to accidentally buy the wrong one...

DSLR TV really need to invest in some sort of microphone, their videos are awfully quiet and you can barely hear the people talking. It's even harder to hear them talking over the sound of the heavily breathing camera man. :lol: Other than that pretty good, thanks!

Can I be added to the queue please? :)

580ex and an UWA of some sort. Then that's it, honest.

Thanks for this. Have ordered a print. Let's see how it goes!

Hopefully things are cheaper over there, i'm about to head off to Phuket for 3 weeks so here's hoping!
