Strobe not syncing at full power

Thanks for the update. At least it's in the same city.

Just to follow up on this thread.

I was not able to get an Inon strobe as a replacement. However, I was able to procure a THIRD copy of the YS-01 Solis and this one DOES work/sync with the preflash/double lighting bolt setting, at all power settings.

I’m guessing I was just very very unlucky and my first 2 copies were duds. But happy to finally have a working one for my trip tomorrow (just in time!).

Thanks to everyone here on this forum for helping me debug the issue.

No problem, it also provides us another data point - getting two that didn't work does not sound like a great track record.
