Or you can plug the lead directly into the studio flash / flash.
Just be careful with the flash trigger voltage, I'm sure I read if you use a PC sync lead you're safe but I can't 100% remember.
Why not use wireless triggers?

I have a third party, Nikon fit, manual only flash unit that I used with a bridge camera in the past. When I invested in my Pentax DSLR, my local camera shop sold me a gadget which is effectively a hot shoe with a short cable that fits into the external flash socket on the camera. This "hot shoe" sits on a plastic foot that fits into the camera's hot shoe, so no electrical contact there, so that the flash can be used on camera if so desired. The shop also dug out of their second hand box a 2 metre synch cable with a male connector on one end and a female one on the other. Putting this between the camera and the flash unit plus external hot shoe allows me to do just what you say you want to do . It all works a treat.
