That's a good deal. When I used the Promaster flash grip, I did like the feel of it in my hands, but about 6 months after I bought it, I noticed a crack in the base. I tried superglue, but the brand I tried didn't stick too well to the plastic base.
You are welcome.
Most Promaster dealers seem to sell the gear at MSRP.
Hopefully you will enjoy it.
I just dare it to break on me. I'm dying to find a use for that plastic welder I bought six months ago when I tol dmy because I really needed it
As soon as Harmony sends my C-750, I was going to buy the Promaster 5750. Promaster said that the AF illuminator should work...... but I do not think that they actually had the chance to test the flash on the camera. I really need the AF illuminator lamp on the flash to function properly. I will need to contact them again.
Sorry, Misha, I probably should have included that I couple the MS1 (or any other non-digital flash) with a Wein Digital Smart Slave Trigger which ignores the pre-flash from the camera and fires the slave flash in sync with the camera's final flash.

Yeah, it should work, if you want a flash that can be used as bothYour site says the Digi-slave DSF-1 is a slave only flash but
olympus has a ttl-pc cable for the c-3040z and the DSF-1 says it
can be used with a hot shoe.
If I get a "cold" shoe that becomes "hot" when connected to a PC
cable and mount it on a bracket will that work?
I'm not familiar with any of the stuff I just said/asked so don't
flame me
a slave and a generic non-TTL flash. You could also buy a Vivitar
283 and Wein digital slave peanut for the same amount as you would
spend on the DS-1 and pc-sync to hot-shoe converter, which might
give you more power. I need to update the site, the DS-20 from
Sunpak that Ritz sells for $29.95 (guide 59 feet at ISO 100, which
is roughly 20-25 feet in automatic mode) is also an option if you
don't need the power of the DS-1 (guide 79 feet at ISO 100, roughly
30-45 feet in automatic mode). FWIW, a guide of 79 might not be
powerful enough if you are going to bounce the flash off of a
ceiling or wall, unless your subjects are fairly close.
Can I find it in Canada, because I'm in Toronto right now.
