    Remarkably Dumb Monolight Question



    Okay, so this is about as "newbie" as you can get I guess, but...


    Can someone tell me whether this monolight will work through a radio trigger? It doesn't require a battery pack or A/C power or anything else? I don't get where the power comes from to flash the light...


    Part of the description says:


    "Can be Fired with the Sync Cord Attached to the Camera PC Terminal,
    with a PC Adapter on the Hot Shoe (FAHSPCA) or with the Built in Slave
    Unit"



    but unless "Built in Slave Unit" covers it, I don't see any mention of a radio trigger. And like I said, I can't figure out where the electrical charge comes from to trip the light.


    here's the one I'm looking at; Flashpoint makes a real cheap ($34) radio trigger too. (by the way, is Flashpoint's stuff worth buying? I don't mind cheap, but I don't want junk either)


    Thanks for sharing whatever you can, I do appreciate it!

    this monolight does work with a radio trigger, you would plug a cord into the input and then into the radiotrigger.


    this most likely requires AC power to use

    Yeah, you must be right. Here's a shot of the back of it - looks to me like a power cord input on the bottom there...
