Hi Everybody-
Ok,,here is my issue and am looking for some advice or a solution.
I have a Nikon D200, a Nikon SB-600 and a Wescott 43" umbrella kit. I have a wireless trigger set on order and should be here today in the mail. My problem is that I figured out after I ordered the trigger that it is one of those receivers that is tall,,,,so,,,if I place the receiver in the stand,,the flash on top of it,,,I feel that it is going to place the head of the flash too high and that when the flash fires into the umbrella,,,the light it reflects/produces, will not be correct and therefore make it hard to get good light out of the setup.
So,,my thinking is, I could get an adapter to put the receiver on and let it hang on the side of the stand and place the flash in the light stand bracket and that could keep the flash head at a more appropriate height.
Since the trigger combo is just a cheap one from E-Bay,,,I'm not sure if the cable it comes with will be what I need or not. (I will just be using this for casual use and do not need or want to spend a lot of money on a wireless trigger combo).
So if you have any suggestions on products or techniques that could help me,,I would really appreciate it. Thanks for looking and taking the time.
Sincerely- Doug
