|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Pocket Wizard cords for Dyna lite Uni 400s Debra L Rothenberg, Photographer New York | NY | USA | Posted: 3:44 PM on 02.21.10 ->> does anyone know which cord is needed?  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

From their site: Sync Input Socket: ISO approved low voltage sync circuit. Included 3-blade cord is safe to use with all sophisticated electronic and digital cameras. It also prevents the unit from accidentally being plugged into a 110v socket. Socket also accepts standard two blade cords. Flashzebra has two PW to HH cords, coiled (deluxe) and straight. Both mention Dynalite Studio light compatibility. standard: http://www.flashzebra.com/products/0160/index.shtml deluxe: http://www.flashzebra.com/wizardcables/hhwizardcoil.shtml  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

The uni has a 3 prong plug in-any other advice?  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

The two-blade household will work. Your average Household to 1/8th inch works fine, or has for me. Trust me on this, I have better reliability then a roadie coming up to you saying "Just dont photograph him dead on, from center stage"  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

(coiled or straight.) Paramount Cords in the Bronx has them, and I've been using them for years to light HS & college gyms and other venues: http://www.paramountcords.com/search.asp http://www.flickr.com/photos/chetgordon/3273094494/in/set-72157594382635984/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/chetgordon/3380184619/in/set-72157594382635984/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/chetgordon/3396764863/in/set-72157594382635984/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/chetgordon/2316608286/in/set-72157594382635984/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/chetgordon/3446027089/in/set-72157594382635984/ Hope this helps. ~cg. www.chetgordon.com/blog  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Add-a-tap male plug - $1.20/ea, cheaper in bulk. Lowe's/Home Depot also has them. http://www.filmtools.com/quicmaledplu.html 18/2 zip line - might as well buy a roll, you can use it for tons of lighting/sync/remote projects http://www.filmtools.com/zipcord122.html 1/8" mono plugs - http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2104062&clickid=prod_...  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

It's much more cost effective to make your own cord, especially if it's something as simple as a mono-household. If you don't feel comfortable using a soldering iron, you can also get creative with some gaffers tape — a skill that will also come in handy should you need to make one on the fly in the field. But if you're making your own, might as well make a few backups, too! It's really not complicated at all, and the benefits of doing it yourself far outweigh the costs of these overpriced, manufactured retail cords.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

With PW's it's a non-issue. I used to have that problem with (anyone still using these) my Quantum triggers.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
