Not all at once. The Remote Sensor is useless for you, unless you get a 310,
which would be pointless. Trade is in on something you can use.

These connectors are all equivalent and can be wired in parallel in many ways.

> B.G. 2/ T32 como, how do I set them up?? 

1. Mount winder 2 on 2N.
2. Replace hot shoe with TTL Auto Connector Type 4.
3. Screw bracket into bottom of winder with grip connector to right.
4. Turn off T32. Turn back plate to full auto side (Push little square button
on lower right. Batteries in flash are optional. Slide T32 into mount on
top of grip and tighten mount screw wheel. Insert 4 C cells in grip through
bottom door.
5. Mount grip on bracket by loosening wheel on bracket, inserting end into
track, sliding to prefered position, and retightening wheel.
6. Use lever near top to unlock bounce-swivel on grip and turn flash so it
points forward (as should little button on grip), then relock.
7. Run a T cord from TTL Auto Connector Type 4, down left front of camera
(there may be a little hook on the cord to clip on the left strap lug),
under the camera to the connector at the bottom of the grip.
8. Plug straight end of M grip cord into grip behind button, and right angle
end into plug on top of winder.
9. Turn on flash, winder, set camera to auto.
10. Hold grip in right hand with finger on grip button. Pressing button
will fire camera. If auto shutter speed falls below 1/60, flash will fire.
Focus with left hand.

You can also put the grip on the left side, but the M grip cord won't reach.
Left side is ususually prefered if you are using grip without a winder.

> 2 all I need ( it wont reach when the winder 2 is also used in the setup)????

You won't use it at all. There is a sync line in the T cables.

> (4) When should I use the TTL Auto Connector Type 4/ 

For auto use off the camera, you need T cords. There are 2 ways to connect
a T cord to a 2N: a. Replace shoe with connector type 4. b. Put a T32, or
T power control in the shoe 4, and plug cable into connection on it's side.

> TTL Auto Multi Connector, 

This is just 4 plugs in parallel. In your case, you can use it to connect the
two 0.3m cords to get a longer reach.

It can be used with any T flash that has a shoe. You can use it to mount the
T32 on a tripod.

See above. Try to trade it in toward, say, a 2m or 5m cord, or something.

It plugs into the winder. It will work with the other stuff, but since it
occupies the winder plug, you won't be able to use the button on the
bounce grip. It is used as a remote, and for timed shot sequences.
