Radio Triggers<br />

Using a radio trigger to fire the flash in synch with the camera has<br />

become standard, and for good reason. Radio triggers are wireless,<br />

unlike infra red transmitters they are unaffected by ambient light and<br />

they are reliable.<br />

We offer a choice of AC (mains powered) and DC (battery powered)<br />

radio trigger sets. We recommend our mains powered trigger set for<br />

use with our mains powered flash heads and battery powered trigger<br />

sets are needed for our Safari ranges.<br />

A trigger set consists of one hotshoe-fitting transmitter and one<br />

receiver. Only one receiver is needed when using mains powered<br />

flash heads, as the slave photo cell is normally used to trigger the<br />

flash heads that are not fitted with a receiver. Safari units are not<br />

fitted with slave photo cells, which are extremely inefficient when<br />

used in daylight, so if more than one Safari flash generator is used,<br />

each needs to be fitted with a receiver.<br />

Extra triggers and extra receivers are available for both mains<br />

powered and battery powered radio triggers.<br />

Our UltraPro range has a built in radio receiver, which can be used<br />

with our UltraPro Commander.<br />

All <strong>Lencarta</strong> flash heads are fitted with standard 3.5mm ‘audio’<br />

sockets, and so can be used with most brands of radio trigger.<br />

Hotshoe Flashgun Adapters<br />

Radio Triggers / Hotshoe Flashgun Adapters 68<br />

Using hotshoe flashguns off-camera nearly always produces a<br />

far higher quality of light than using them on-camera, and the<br />

quality of the light can be improved much further by using one<br />

of the <strong>Lencarta</strong> S-fit adapters.<br />

<strong>The</strong>se strong metal adapters allow any standard hotshoe<br />

flashgun to be clipped onto the adapter coldshoe; the adapter<br />

has a very full range of adjustment, allowing the flashgun<br />

reflector to be positioned accurately. Light shapers such as<br />

beauty dishes, softboxes etc can then be fitted to the adapter.<br />

We produce two separate adapters, one accepts a single<br />

flashhead and the other one accepts three flashheads,<br />

which can be tilted in different directions to light the insides<br />

of large softboxes equally.
