StowePhoto Offline • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #1 · On Camera flash in cooperation with OCF... I have posted this question in our Lighting and Studio forum recently as well, but have not really received much. I am new to the world of OCF, but after seeing many of the beautiful images in this forum was intrigued enough to get my first setup. I have now: 3 580EXII's, two Cheetah stands. Two softboxes. And a Radio Popper JrX system, with the cubes to control output power from the transmitter. My question is: If I still want to fire one of the 580EXII's off my camera for fill light, is it possible to do this with this system? Any insight would be great. Thank you. Nov 01, 2012 at 08:46 PM

Use a threaded pc sync cable and screw it into the 580ex II on your cameras hot shoe and place the JrX on top of the flash, I use a rubber band to hold it in place. Oh, it's a custom cable . One side is threaded for the pc sync ( it won't pop off that way) and the other is a 1/8 mini plug that goes into the side of the JrX. Here is the link where I got mine http://michaelbass.blogspot.com/2007/09/sync-cords.html#StartSyncCords Its the screwlock pc sync to RA mini plug 10 inches long. If you use a bracket then you can attach the JrX to cold shoe mount.

StowePhoto Offline • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #3 · On Camera flash in cooperation with OCF... Thank you teebat. Can you point me in the direction of the bracket you would recommend? Nov 01, 2012 at 09:05 PM

teebat Offline • • • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #4 · On Camera flash in cooperation with OCF... This is what I use. I prefer to rotate the camera instead of the flash so the flashes shoe mount doesn't get messed up and this is a real fast system. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/478303-REG/Custom_Brackets_DIGITALPROMK_Digital_PRO_M_Camera_Rotating.html Nov 01, 2012 at 09:31 PM

Scott Clark Offline • • • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #8 · On Camera flash in cooperation with OCF... This was my solution to this kind of thing... It's a CS transmitter, but the idea would apply to any radio trigger...it's attached to the L bracket with velcro, and just plugged into the sync port which frees up the hot shoe. Also keeps the transmitter out of the way where it could get broken if it was in the shoe. It's a PITA to change channels, but that's never been a problem for me. Nov 07, 2012 at 11:22 PM

This way I can control the output from where I am. Nov 08, 2012 at 04:04 PM
