I have checked with them, waiting for reply.
I'm also sourcing for low-cost IR/Radio wave trigger and Muslin background. Watch for my update...

Just to feedback, yes I did get a shock from the lighting system too.

Has any managed to trigger them via the hotshoe adaptor/pc sync cords?
somehow when I connect it to my camera hotshoe, the flashes don't seem to fire when I press the shutter, but when i press the adaptor's test pin, the lights go off. :dunno:

I guess almost or all camera should be able to trigger via hotshoe adapter. Did you insert the adapter completely into your camera hotshoe? :think:

For info, I also experienced the shock when I use the sync cords on my old nikon film body F50.

I think I will keep the sync cords away from now ....

Thanks PQ! :thumbsup:

I realised that we have 1 hotshoe, so can only connect and fire off 1 flash at a time?

I'm thinking the same thing... I am planning to buy the circular (20W or 32W) light but looking for flat ones... so far the designs are all domed shaped... or get a translucent plastic as the "table" between my subject and the light. Light control can be layers of t-shirt. Experimenting. :sweat: You're trying to shoot glassware?

actually i got transparent table liao, still got enuff to make another 1...

just that the table abit short, its hard to put a flash in, those with softbox, so i think this 1 ok, since the head not that big like a standard studio flash.

i dun shoot glass, i only shoot metals... hehe...
