p.1 #4 · p.1 #4 · Is it saf to use a Norman 500 on modern cameras? | |
We used to use Norman power packs all the time. Great units. Before pocket wizards we used the Wein Safe-Sync to connect a PC sync cable from the camera to the power pack. It reduces the voltage to less than 6 volts. It looks like the updated version is $50.

Also, when using these old power packs remember to press the test button to release any left over power before removing a light from the socket. It's possible the pins could arc if there is power in the pack.
Peter is right, If you have Pocket Wizards, they are the best solution. If on a budget and need a to use a sync cord, get a safe-sync.
