Intova Edge to Strobe (PX21) novice question

[Steve A]

Just waiting for my New camera to arrive (Intova Edge) and noticed on the website it can be connected to a strobe. I was thinking of buying the px21 strobe as I am on a bit of a budget but was wondering how it is connected/controlled? What will I need to buy?
My other thought was to splash out on the galaxy video light as the camera can take stills in video mode I believe? How would the results differ from using a strobe though?
As a novice I want to keep things quite simple but am itching to improve my previous attempts on my sp1.
I want to keep the kit as compact as possible and haven't got a big budget as it only used twice a year.
Also has anyone used the macro lens and if so is it worth buying?

Hi Steve A,
Sorry, but PX21 will not work with EDGE. We are making modifications for future models.
Galaxy video light, is a great choice. It will work for both video and photo.
Best Regards,

Hi Joe, what other options regarding strobes do I have with the edge and how do they connect. Camera should arrive tomorrow but I am away until Monday so wont get to play just yet

Slave Strobe Function
A built-in sync light allows the Sport HD EDGE top trigger an external flash. The compatible flash unit is Intova's slave strobe model PX-21

Had a quick look there is a small light on the top which is used to fire the strobe.
