The transmitter can either be mounted directly to your camera hot shoe, taking the firing signal directly from the camera. Alternatively if you wish to mount a flashgun on board your camera, taking up the hot shoe position, then an adhesive hot shoe mount is provided to allow the transmitter to be positioned in an alternative convenient location and connected to your camera via the supplied Sync cord. This gives you the creativity to utilize a direct flash whilst using the TwinLink system to add a ket light or background light to enhance your images.
