[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 611173, member: 12496"] Well, again, the fill light ideally is back very near the camera, so a PC sync cord or a hot shoe cord (SC-17, SC-28) would trigger that near one, and its flash will trigger the more remote one. And of course radio triggers work too, and everyone thinks they need them, but to me, if indoors, it seems excessive overkill, with extra batteries and connections and power switches to give trouble. :) The hot shoe cords are pretty short, and if at more than 3 or 4 feet, their coil tension tends to tip over that light stand. One stand foot should be directly under that cord. But still, it should be able to work there, if close. The idea of fill is to be very near the lens axis. [/QUOTE]
