Question about flash gun

[Doug Sundseth]

I think that wireless triggers are generally designed to handle higher trigger voltages than cameras as well. (But if you fry your trigger because I'm wrong, it's not my fault. This isn't advice, it's just what I would do. )

Lol, thanks guys, will have to start saving up for some

Just me, but the previous two posters are incorrect in stating that all triggers have as high a voltage limit as the camera hotshoe.

The Yongnuo RF-602 and RF-603 triggers in particular are very vulnerable. Their sync voltage limit is modern-flash low, something like 11V, so those would definitely be out for you. The Cactus V5s, iirc, are much hardier and can handle up to 300V, but some of the old vintage Vivitar units, like the non-HV 285 and 283 can easily exceed 300V.

Best idea might be to test the flashes directly and determine the sync voltage yourself. That way you'll know whether or not you might fry the triggers and whether getting Wein SafeSyncs might be worthwhile or not.

I'd be alright with one but not the other, one is 5v and the other is 70v.
