Manual Optical Receiver for DS Strobes / Point-and-Shoot Version
Trigger you Ikelite DS strobe via fiber optic cable - or remotely off another flash - when combined with a point-and-shoot camera like the Sony RX100-series or Canon G7X-series.
Exposure Modes
The Optical Receiver with Pre-Flash Learning supports manual exposure modes as set on the attached DS strobe. TTL exposure mode is not supported.
Multiple Strobes
An individual Optical Receiver is needed for each strobe. Use of multiple strobes requires one Optical Receiver per strobe. The Optical Receiver supports all Ikelite DS strobes.

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.
Automatic Pre-Flash Recognition
The Optical Receiver automatically configures itself for compatibility with both pre-flash and non pre-flash camera modes. No setting of small switches or confusion over number of pre-flashes. Simply turn on your strobe and take one picture to configure.
An individual Optical Receiver is needed for each strobe. Use of multiple strobes requires one Optical Receiver per strobe. The Optical Receiver supports all Ikelite DS strobes.
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.
