davyjo Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Is there anything to the concerns about PC connections frying cameras? <P> I have a 30D and will be using a Alien Bee B800. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobatkins Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 For the 5D/20D/30D and the EOS-1D series, the maximum safe voltage is 250v. For the Rebel, Rebel XT, 10D and most other earlier non-pro level film and digital bodies, it's 6v. I've no idea what the sync voltage of the B800 is.

brian_coy Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Almost all "modern" flashes have safe voltages levels. I would not have any real worries about using an Alien Bees light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolver Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 The sync voltage for the AB 800 is less than 6 volts. My AB 800's measures 4.1 volts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
