FlashZebra.com: Optical Slave — In Hotshoe Mount (Item #0129)

This optical slave is packaged in a convenient hotshoe.

This device will immediately fire a connected flash unit when another flash burst is detected. This allows a remote flash to be fired without any connecting wires.

It requires no batteries or other power; it runs off the flash unit to which it is connected.

Features:

Insulated hotshoe face
Very compact design 7⁄8 X 7⁄8 X 5⁄8 inch
Low profile, adds only 1⁄2 inch to height of flash
Rugged construction — optical slave is encased in solid resin
Shoe bottom has standard 1⁄4" - 20 threaded hole with a metal insert
Connects directly to the spigots included with many swivel brackets or a common tripod

The triggering flash must not emit a pre-flash as this will prematurely fire the connected flash.

This optical slave will work with many hotshoe based flash units (see very partial listing below).
