using old opus mono light with new camera

<p>I have an old opus pro 150 mono light that I used with my Canon EOS 30D for home portraits of the kids. I'd use a speedlight in the hot shoe and bounce it off a reflector and that was fine for what I wanted. A friend wants to borrow the opus light to do something similar at home but she's got a Canon Rebel t6i which is not compatible with the sync cord I have. I have been searching online and can't find a compatible cable, is there one? The light sync cable is a 3.5mm jack to a PC outlet (which is what the old 30D has) where the new cameras only have USB ports. If not able to find a cable what are the other options without spending a ton of money. She may need to just use the light as a light without using the flash</p>

<p>You need a hot shot-to-PC adapter like this.<br>

Most flexible and safe option is to use a radio

trigger kit. These start at about $20 or so. Radio

triggers have the advantage that there's no trailing

wire between camera and flash, and that there's no

incompatability between camera circuit and flash

trigger voltage.

I'd recommend paying a bit more and getting the YongNuo RF603C, which is a well made and respected product.
