Heinrich's Adapter for off camera slaving?

2 posts
  1. Hi all,

    I've started mucking around with off-camera strobes in caves (and plan to try in/on wrecks as well). I've got 2 x Z240's a YS90X duo. The current way I'm doing it is using the YS90 as the on-camera, and the Z240s as the off-cameras. It's working alright, but the need to expose the slave sensors on the bottom, just right, is very limiting. I'd like to add flexibility by using slave sensors separate to the strobes, and I THINK people have been using Heinrich's adapters for this, but have done a fair search on the net and can't find anything, so I thought I'd ask the brain's trust here a few questions:

     

    -anyone here used them in this capacity before, and if so, how did they find them?

     

    -how sensitive are they, and hence how flexible is the result going to be? Ideally I'd like to be able to tape/strap the strobe to the front or back of a diver, and have the sensor taped to the opposite without the diver having to worry about it.

     

    -any suggestions on cheap high power strobes, 2nd hand or otherwise, I could find to use as slaves? I'm happy with the Z240s as primary strobes, 90DX is fine as a backup if they die, so it'd be purely for slave use.

     

    -any alternatives people can think of?

     

    TIA :)

  2. Dean,

     

    Why don't you send the boys at Heinrichs/Weinkamp an email?

    Both Christian and Matthias will freely discuss your options with you.

    I don't know too many cave divers on this site...
