how hard is it to install HeinrichsWeikamp ettl converters

3 posts
  1. i was wondering how hard it was to install one of these HeinrichsWeikamp ettl converters in a aquatica housing for a canon 30D. im not so worried about installing new bulk head and so forth but about hooking up the electronic parts correctly. also has any one out there used one of these converters if so how well do they work. The other thing that i was thinking of doing was getting 6 pin bulkhead and a sea and sea converter. any thought would be helpful.

  2. hi, i'm an user of the "HeinrichsWeikamp ettl converters"..

    it works well and installing it was not an hard task, just follow the converter guide about wire scheme.

    One big problem that i have was that i was unable to fire the strobe above 3meter deep.. after a long brainstorming with heinrich and my housing vendor i found the problem and solved it

    see this post

     

    i'm using a fantasea 350 housing with nikon bulkhead, ys-90a and ys-120 as strobe

     

    bye albe

  3. thank for the info, i don't think that i will have the same problem you have because there is a lot more room above the hot shoo in the Aquatica hosing.
