flash problem
I have a Samsung GX1L digital slr. I have been given a sturdy old Vivitar
283 flash unit. At times, usually inside buildings and large rooms I need a more powerful flash that the inbuilt one. Where can I get a slave unit so that I can use this 283 without frying the Samsungs circuits please? I am happy to use the flash on a flashbar attached to the tripod socket but am worried about what sort I need - I presume that I will need one which ignores the pre-flash too! Many thanks for any useful pointers. |
