Ahem, I was kidding...

@AshtonPhoto Try it for yourself and you'll know why they went through "all that trouble"

@koj1 One thing to be aware of is that on some flashes (like mine) there is a spring loaded pin on both sides of the hot shoe mount and only one of them connects to the flash trigger. I wasted a lot of time before I found this out!

I wasted a lot of time before I found this out! Also some flashes with multiple pins can still be triggered by shorting the centre pin to one of the side pins.

@AshtonPhoto yeah, in theory it is, trust me its easier this way :) Or else people wouldnt be using this system

I don't know why you went to all that trouble. All you have to do is have someone fire the flash at the same time as the ballon bursts. Easy!

@handadam that will be the reason why they take the image in the darkness

Ingenious !!!

Nice idea... love It :)
wait.. what do you mean by non dedicated flash?

A non dedicated flash is a flash that doesn't adjust it's power automatically based on the camera's settings. It's basically a cheap flash with only manual controls (the one I use you can't even control to power output...it's full power or nothing). Dedicated flashes (Canon, Nikon, etc.) have a more complicate triggering system that can't simply be triggered with aluminum foil and wires.

i just wanted to ask if the set up will still work with out a highspeed sync cam?

The camera is anything but high speed. I just left the shutter open for a second. I set the timer, listened for the shutter to open, shot the balloon and my brother triggered the lights. By shooting at night in a dark area, there wasn't enough ambient light to expose anything with a one second shutter speed..the lights were the only thing exposing the image.
