Yongnuo with Bowens 800E

I recently acquired a Bowens 800E for use with my

large format camera, but I also want to use it with my

dSLR. I have a yongnuo PT-04TM wireless trigger, but it

won't trigger the 800E. I've tested with a mechanical

trigger and it works. I wonder if there is some

capacitance in the circuit and the yongnuo doesn't

close the connection for long enough to trigger it.

Has anyone else tried a yongnuo trigger with an 800E?

Perhaps there is a different yongnuo model that will

work with it?

<p>If the strobe uses a "household" trigger input connector, try reversing the polarity of the Yongnuo receiver connector. I have a strobe that is polarity sensitive with a remote trigger.</p>

Thanks Charles! That was the

solution! Must be a diode or

something in there somewhere.

<p>Glad to be able to help. It seems that modern trigger devices have a polarity. Luckily you can reverse it on an HH connector. Phone jacks aren't so reversible.<br>
