Ikelite G5 Housing - hot wired with which strobe

9 posts
  1. Need Help.

     

    I recently bought an Ikelite housing for my Canon G5. Need to know what strobe choices do I have if I want to hot wired it to the Ikelite housing. Exactly what make/brand/model and what type of cable do I need?

     

    Thanks. :huh:

  2. YooooHooooooo....... :rolleyes:

  3. Thanks! B)

  4. Ike, :D will the following $500 package work well with my Canon G5 and the G5 Ikelite housing?

     

    #3944.41 Digital Package ($ 500) includes:

    #4103 TTL Sync Cord

    #4044 DS-50 SubStrobe with #0561.2 diffuser

    #4075.1 Strobe Arm system

    OR would I be better of with the slave sensor package for this camera?

     

    #3944.40 Digital Package ($ 500) includes:

    #4100.5 TTL Slave Sensor

    #4044 DS-50 SubStrobe with #0561.2 diffuser

    #4075.1 Strobe Arm system

     

    I am still undecided on choice of strobes and there is not much info on G5 set up.

    Pls advice, many thanks.

  5. #3944.40 with TTL Sensor works well with this camera. #3944.44 with Manual Controller will give you total exposure control and can be attached with a #4103 sync cord or triggered by slave in the Controller. You might consider the similar packages with deluxe ball arm system.

    I have a Cannon G5 and am interested in the Ikelite housing with TTL. The catalog I was looking through implied that #4103 TTL Sync Cord

    didn't work with the G5...

    If it does work, I'll be very happy.

  7. I don't think you can get a TTL housing for the Canon G5. Ike had "deciphered" the TTL for Olympus cameras, but not Canon.

     

    Ike will surely correct me if I'm wrong...:-)

     

    Cheers

  8. Either sync cord is fine. TTL with a sync cord is not available for Canon, but we are working on it. The #4100.5 TTL Sensor can be used, but #4100.6 EV Manual Controller is recommended choice.
