SB800 and Sea&Sea DX-D70

3 posts
  1. Hi,

     

    after reading some interesting articles about the SB800 her in wetpixel, it thought i should also try it.

    so recently i bought a Nikon S800 Flash with the Fantasea Housing.

    Unfortunately i don't get TTL with my D70s in the S&S Housing working :P

    When i connect the Flash directly to the camera everything is fine.

     

    Does some else had the same Problem with SB800 and S&S Housing? Are they incompatible?

     

    How much pins does the SB800 needs? Do i need all five pins connected? I a afraid that my housing doesn't use all pins :P

     

    thanks

    The hotshoe connector on the S&S D70 housing only has 3(?) pins as standard and so cannot handle ttl. You need to get it changed. I had to do this when I bought the ttl converter.

    Yep, that's right. After connecting all pins, my sb800 worked flawless...

    thank you
