Z-240 magnetic buttons needed

13 posts
  1. Does anyone know where I can buy replacement magnet buttons for the Z-240? The Advanced Cancel Circuit ones that allow manual shooting.

    I need two new ones; the ebay links/sellers that I've tried from other threads are no longer listed.

    Photo attached shows 3 buttons, the left one is one of the focus-light buttons, same strobe as the middle button, I'm surprised that its in almost perfect condition compared to the others. They are a different design but I've managed to move them to the ACC switch and they seem to be working there, but now I have no focus lights... 

    any leads welcome, thanks,

    Dave

  3. If you are in Oz, try Scubapix they are INON distributor I think.  If they don't have stock Reefphoto are great to deal with, I've ordered from them before.  Delivery might take a while, with COVID and lack of flights all overseas stuff seems slow.

  4. I bought a pair of spare ones from https://www.unterwasserkamera.at/shop/catalog/en/

    I looked at the chart but they are not there at the moment. But if you contact them and ask for a spare os an Advanced Cancel Circuit (ACC) push button from Inon them might have it. 
    later on I can send the reference on the Inon plastic bag where they came.

    Thanks Chris, yes I’m in Cairns actually. Scupapix said they are no longer available from Inon, so it looks like it will need to be old stock somewhere.

    Might be, but it includes other strobes in the list that don’t use the same button… I’ll contact them though.

    Thanks

    Hang on, just realised that those strobes all use the same focus/modelling light button, so maybe that’s it! A couple of those would probably work for me. I’ll get in touch with them. Thanks Diggy.

    Really?,  the Z-330 looks like it has the same controls with slightly different graphics - maybe ask if they are the same thread and could be substituted?

    Thanks Chris, you're right, they look the same... I'll have another chat with Pete...

    Yes should work, but do check with them before ordering.

  10. Reefphoto to the rescue. New ACC buttons (and focus light buttons, just in case) on their way.

    and yes, they are now described as Z-240/Z-330 parts

    Thanks guys
