So I'm trying to use a miops smart trigger. I want it to run my flash. This is the cable I'm supposed to use:



But it doesn't fit in the sync port on my flash or the sync ports on my Alienbee or Einstein strobes.



Please, please help. I've been trying to figure this out for quite awhile now.

I purchased this, hoping it would work, and the plug fits on, kind of, really tight, and doesn't run the flash. :(

Strange, the jack connector in your photo looks the same as mine and it fits fine in my Alienbee strobes. But I wonder why do you want to use this old-fashioned wired sync system? wireless triggers are cheap and they are much more convenient.

It's a sound trigger and a lightning trigger.

And in, looking at the photo, the one in the right fits in your alienbees?
