For my PhD, I am imaging sediment transport in the Everglades with a Nikon D2xs and Nikon SB-800 speedlight. I am having a custom housing built for the camera, and my machinist and I are struggling with the interface between the Nikonos 5pin sync cable and the camera. Due to space constraints, we'd rather not have this connection go through the hot shoe, though doing so is most straightforward. Does anyone know of a way to solder the Nikonos V to a 10-pin Nikon cable? I found two excellent descriptions of pinouts, but I'm not sure which pins to connect, and I don't want to take any chances on frying the camera!
Alternatively, does anyone know how to solder the Nikonos cable to a 2-pin PC cable? The TTL capability isn't really needed for what I am doing...
I would be forever indebted to anyone who can get back to me ASAP! Doing so could make the difference between me graduating on time and having to stay on another year, unfunded!
Here are the pinouts I found:
