Flash Bracket Off

Using Nikon D80 and D200 with Norman 400B and SunPak 522
Just got my new D200 and Refurb D80 from Cameta. I was told by the seller that all I had to do to use off camera/off brand stobe was to use this Wein protectorshoe on the hotshoe. But I have been through both books (I admit cursorily) and as yet I cannot find any reference to this except for slave operation restricted to three units. What am I missing? These cameras will do me little good if I can't use the light I already have. While I may have to spring for a Nikon flash to use on the bracket (the 522 is old after all) the Norman is a workhorse and blasts a lot of light suitable for outdoor fill and such. Sorry if this has been addressed but I am an old shooter brand new to dig. Thanks
Ah, you're talking to someone still in awe of Vivitar 283's, so I know where you are coming from. I have dealt with Cameta for many years and they are a fine bunch! Yes, you need a "safe sync" between the camera and the flash because if your flash kicks back more than 6 watts (and it will) you will burn out the entire electrical system on your camera. (Cost of repair $200 ...been there!) Be aware though, that those darn safe sync's do break down and in spite of the guarantee on the package, you can find no place to repair them. Have at least two in your kit.
Happy shooting! Enjoy the digital!
