I have had quite a good evening this evening, because I’ve been building my high speed flash trigger kit that I got from HiViz

The kit is good value, and I went for the option with solderless breadboard so that I can’t make a pigs ear of the soldering.  I went for the version with the Schmitt Photogate and delay which works out at about £12 with the current exchange rate.

I picked up a hotshoe to sync lead adaptor from my local camera shop for £6.99 and followed the instructions for connecting the output cable from the trigger to the sync cord.

I managed to fit the delay circuit together easily, but found that I’d been slightly generous with my connecting cables and didn’t have enough left to finish the trigger circuit.

So I’m off to Maplins tomorrow to get some more solid core cable to finish it all off.

Hopefully I will be able to have a play with the trigger tomorrow to get some shots of water droplets.
