We normally shoot with Einsteins so forgive the dumb question. (We have 5 of them)

I recently bought an AB800 to use as a backup and purchased a CSRB receiver to use with it. (Didn't need/want the "+" version for what I'm going to use it for.

However, i figured that I might want to occasionally use the CSRB with a Canon 580EX flash that I have laying around and never use but the canon doesn't have a PC Sync input. I have read a few mods that include adding a pc sync terminal to the 580EX which I may install but I was wondering what others do? I'm tempted to juse use a hotshoe pc sync adapter on it.

Thoughts?

For a basic solution, you can use one of these:

For a not-so-hack modification, you can use one of these:
