S&S eTTL with Subal and ikelite strobe?

3 posts
  1. I've a Subal CD5 with s6 bulkhead, can I use a Sea n Sea eTTL converter with it and ikelite strobes? If "Yes", which SnS eTTL converter can I use??

  2. You will need an S6 bulkhead on the housing and all the pins in the hotshoe connected. And of course you'll need the hotshoe plugged into the right socket inside the housing.

     

    Then you can use the Heinrich's or Sea and Sea converter. The Sea and Sea doesn't come w/ an S6 but Ryan at Reef Photo converts and sells them (or he used to). I had one, but was never happy w/ the Sea and Sea.

     

    This will work w/ the newer DS strobes - I've used both DS50 and DS125.

  3. Thans a lot for your reply, James!!

     

    In fact I've got a HW ettl covertor and has it broken already!! It's amazingly flimsy, mind has it's nikonos bulkhead detached and the wiring connecting the circuit board and the pins broken up......This was happened when I tried to unscrew the syn-cord from the convertor......

    Seems that it'll be better for me to have it send back for repair.....

    Hope Ryan from REEF can repair it......
