Ikelite slave remote sensor

Anynone had experience with Ikelite remote sensor?

I found the sensors very unreliable and prone to stop function very easy.

I have 4 and i had faced a lot of problems using them for multiple strobe inside caves . I don't know if the source of problems are the batteries that dies too fast or the cables that are too delicate . Usually we tried them before starting the dive but once we placed inside the cave they stop working.

I had sent it to Ikelite several times but they start to malfunction after the first use and since i live outside EU is very time consuming and expensive for me to send it to repair.

Did Ikelite made any improvement or upgrade in this &*^%$#!!* devices ?

Any comment will be appreciated

The ones I used, I found flawless, and never had any troubles.

I assume you are talking about the older ones, that actually took batteries, and did TTL with film cameras?

The new versions get the power from the main strobe battery, so no more sensor batteries at all. These only work with DS strobes, however.

Thanks for your repply .

I have the old ones that use batteries.

I will talk to Ikelite to see if i have a chance to work with the new ones using strobes 200 and 400.
