  2. Does the Inon fire wirelessly with just the camera. Strobe should be set to s-ttl and the optical cap on the bottom of the strobe removed for wireless.

    Hi am trigging my strobe by ikelite synk cord

     

    if you do that you can not not have S-TTL mode

     

    only Manual or auto mode

     

    a don"t think a should removed the optical cap

     

     

    but am not sure about that really

  4. Yes I agree. But to troubleshoot the problem, you can first see if the strobe will fire wirelessly. If it does, that will tell you the strobe is probably fine and you can begin troubleshooting your connections. I'd start with the hotshoe connection inside the housing and then the cord itself.

    I faced a similar problem with INON Z240 with Ikelite sync cable. Ensure that cable is properly connected to the strobe. Even though it looked perfectly hooked inside, the thick O-ring there seems to prevent a proper mate, unless you push it hard enough, before you tighten the outer cap.

     

    Hope this helps!!
