Hello, I have just recieved the Interfit 175 Venus Twin Umbrella Flash Kit and I was very excited!! There were hardly any instructions with it but I managed to set it up okay. (I am very much a beginner by the way!) I own a Panasonic Lumix FZ50 (Bridge Camera) and when I went to connect it up to the flash unit the sync lead will not fit into my camera! I do not own an external flash. Can someone please help me and tell me what exactly I need to purchase to make this work, and if I was to get leads that fit how do I use both heads when there is just one connection??! Please help! :'(
 
Hi welcome to TP:)

I've asked a mod to move this to the lighting section for you.
 
'Tis done :) Thanks for the alert :)

And welcome Jenninic :)
 
You need either a radiio trigger or an infra red trigger (radio triggers are much more reliable)
They come in 2 parts, the transmitter slots into the camera hotshoe and the receiver plugs into the synch socket on ONE of the flashes. The slave cell on the other flash 'sees' the flash and fires, so only one receiver is needed.

There are plenty of cheap radio triggers on Ebay.
 
FITP sells radio triggers with the cables to plug into the flashes in the for sale section of the forum, I use them photosoc's ex-150s ;)
