Roger, thanks for the pic's and the info. of how to....
Now that I know this info. is here I can reference back to it when I get ready for such a set-up. I'm sure others might feel the same, as they run across this thread from time to time in the future. I now know why you are able to get such good lighting on your excellent pic's you have posted. Looking forward to seeing you 4-25 @ the swap/meet.

Oneyoda, you can use it with a point and shoot. Your flash will activate it, or you can use a external slave to activate it. I will take some pics with my wifes kodak point and shoot.
I will post them for you to see how it works.

X2 I am very interested in how to do this. With out any research on my part, how do you attach it to your camera? Is it powered by the camera? Maybe it is just because I am a little tired right now, but I am lost  |

well for one i know the bulbs are triggered of the flash of your camera. they pick up the flash off your camera and go off. If i made one i think i would want it to be wired to the camera slave. but we shall see.
