UWtechnics for Sony A7RV in nauticam installation question

[Biodives]

I am looking for some help with installing the UW Technics TTL converter for the Sony A7RV in a nauticam housing. I believe a few of you have this setup.

 

The converter came with two screws and two white plastic spacers with a wide 'spacing ring' attached to a narrower tube with a hole for the screw. I was told the narrow tube part has to fit in the hole of the printed circuit board but it doesn't fit. If I turn the spacer around I can use it but the screw is too short to properly thread into the housing.

 

It seems that it will work without the spacer but I am hesitant to leave it out as I assume it is there for a reason.

After consultation with the store I installed the converter without the spacer and that worked fine. I have contacted Pavel to see if anything else needs to be done and if so I will post it here.

I haven’t used the spacer for the same reason you mentioned.  No issues.  Be sure the screws are snug, but not over tightened.

 

Enjoy!

Are you switching from the Nauticam trigger to the UW Technics TTL converter or going straight to the TTL? Which strobes are you using?
