Is there anything that I need to know about connecting, by cable, a Godox AD200 flash Please ?
Using a flash is all new to me, so I don't want to damage anything.
I have the Godox AD200 & the cable. I want to use it with a Sigma SD15 & SDQ.

Colin,

As far as damage is concerned, it is said that "older" flashes with high trigger voltages can damage modern cameras. I looked for your flash model here but Godox is not listed. There may be other lists where it is.

I suggest that you plug the cable into the flash but not the camera, turn the flash on, wait for the ready light and then measure the voltage at the camera end of the cable. Maybe teaching Granny to suck eggs but a steel paper-clip is often handy to access those little round connectors' center terminal.

If the voltage is less than 15VDC I would be tempted to try it on my least favorite Sigma BUT it's your call.

HTH.
