I've been looking at extenal underwater monitors but so far I haven't been able to find an external monitor that has a button which can also trigger the camera to take a picture. Does this feature exist for certain external underwater monitor or do none of them have it? I'd like to hold my camera underwater off a boat by just the monitor and trigger it from the monitor without having to reach down to the housing.
slave trigger was my backup plan but figure if I can save the $300 on a trigger I might as well split a cable. I'm sure I can design a fiber breakout board that does as many stobes as I want but easiest way would be to split the cable if that's possible.
This post is awesome, just what I was looking for? Couple questions:
-Anyone have a sense of how long a cable you can make? If I wanted a 15ft fiber optic cable I assume that would still effectively trigger the flash
-Has anyone made a splitter? Would like to make a Y cable to trigger two flashes off one cable
