patima d80 + ikelite Ai

Hi,

I´m waiting for my new Patima housing for Nikon D80. I have a substrobe Ikelite 100 Ai and I have a question: the strobe fire with a cable in manual? I think they don´t in i-ttl, but in manual some people say yes, another say no.

best regards

Yes, as long as not all 5 pins on the hot-shoe are connected to between the camera and strobe. You can put tape on the hot-shoe so that only the center pin makes a connection - or you can buy an Ikelite manual sync cord.

Cheers

I am using one of Patima d80 housing & there are several option on wiring, such as;

Patima-designed 5 pin connector - good for Patima SB-800 housing w/Patima cable.

Nexus style 5 pin connector - Ask to your dealer how they ordered/wired.

S&S type 5 pin connector - new addition.

I suggest to ask your dealer how they ordered/wired the housing first.

Thanks for the help.

If I tape the pins, and only the center pins make contact, it is like a manual cord?

If I tape this pins, I have any indication in panel that flash is on?

Best regards
