Fiber Optic Cord Triggering
The removable fiber optic port allows for the attachment of a compatible fiber optic cord (see compatibility below).
Remote Triggering
The enlarged slave window provides approximately 90 degrees field of view for remote triggering. Or thread on the included fiber optic port for the attachment of and triggering via a fiber optic cord.
The Optical Receiver can be extended using the optional 3-foot Extension Cord for creative backlighting in wrecks, caves, and pool studio set-ups. It can also be used above water for studio photography work.
Connector Material
The Optical Converter simply attaches to the strobe's electrical bulkhead in place of a sync cord connector.
This product features a hard anodized aluminum connector. If you have an older strobe with a nickel plated brass (silver color) bulkhead, then we recommend returning your strobe to have the bulkhead updated to anodized aluminum to prevent seizing of the connectors.
The High Sensitivity Optical Slave Converter is perfect for use in environments with high ambient light or large distances between your remote strobe and the primary flash.
This is a non-learning, sensor which requires the camera to be in manual flash mode. This Converter will not work with a preflash. The Optical Slave Converter supports manual exposure modes as set on the attached DS strobe. TTL exposure mode is not supported.
