Default Metz 54mz-4

I purchased the Metz 54mz-4 to use wi9th my Canon 10d I find it is a much more reliable performa in ettl mode than my canon 550ex.* Now I have one question.* I want to use it off camera using my microsync (similar to a pocket wizard) but the documentati for the metz is, in my opinion, very poor. What cable do I need to connect the flash to the reciever of my microsync?* I do understand that using this configuration I will be using the flash in auto mode.* For the life of me I can't find the answer to this anywhere.

Thanks

Sorry I cannot help here but have been thinking of getting the Metz to replace my 550ex
So thanks for your thoughts on this.

Presumably you have a dedicated foot for your 54MZ4, so you need a PC-to-hotshoe conversion... the 54MZ sits in the hotshoe, the photo PC connector on the conversion unit connects to the photo PC connction on the Microsynch (I am not familiar with that product, but I assume it has a PC connection)

I found the answer. Paramount cords has a Hotshoe to submini which is what the microsync thaks.
