Ike Ds-125 with 160??

5 posts
  1. At the moment i only have 1 strobe, the DS-125.

    Is there any problems with buying a 160 and using the two together?

  2. Shouldn't be. As near as I can see the 160 is just an 'upgraded' 125, so they should accept the 'same' setting on the TTL circuitry. The only thing I can see about it in Ike's FAQ (and this is just general advice for mismatched strobes - nothing showed up regarding the 160/125 combination that I could see specifically) is the recommendation to use the 'weaker' of mismatched strobes as the secondary (red band on the dual sync cord).

    Me too with the red band on the right, DS125. Just did 4 days of diving at La Rascasse at Manado in July and had no problem with the DS125/DS160 setup, shot fisheye with Tokina 10-17mm, and macro with AFS60 and AFS105 on the same setup.
