Does anyone know of an off-camera TTL cable to use the Kodal P20 and my P880? Thanks all. [img]/forums/images/emoticons/confused-smiley-017.gif[/img] David.

I honestly don't think that the P880 supports a TTL flash system through the PC sync cable, but I could be wrong... I think this is a question for RonBaird, if he's listening...

I think you can buy a cable that connects to the hot-shoe of the camera and the directly to the flash !!

I am not sure... I am supposed to look for this in 3 days when I will finally get my wide-angle lens !!

I want to buy a wire to move my external flash !!

What I was hoping for, was a coiled cord with a dedicated hot shoe on each end, so that the camera would still talk to the flash. Would the ones made for Nikon or Canon work with my Kodak P880? Thanks, David.

I have seen these type devices, but not sure if they would work... You could always go to a local camera shop and see if they would let you try one.

Ok so here is what I did !!

First of all, I bought a hot shoe to pc cord adapter...

(you can see the picture bellow)

And I bought a 16' pc cord to plug into my flash !

(Note that I don't have a p20, its and old external flash)

If you have more questions,I'll try to answer you

Ok so here is a picture I took with the internal flash of the p850 !!

(the black part in the bottom was caused by my wide-angle)

Boily · Oct 31, 2006, 1:00 PM

And here is a picture with my setup !!

(2 external flash, one each side of the drum)

Here is a picture I took of the setup !!
