I just received the Nauticam MkII prototype strobe trigger and can confirm that, topside and on the 5D3, it fires my YS-250s perfectly. I do need to confirm this with a dive but it looks good to go ;-)

 

Hi Tim, I presume you've had a chance to try out the Nauticam strobe trigger prototype by now. How well do they work underwater? Seems like Nauticam is very quiet on this up till now while some of us are anxiously waiting for this!

Hi Tim, great you finally got your hands on the Nauticam strobe trigger. Are you allowed to post fotos of the unit and how it fits in the NA-5DMkIII housing? Looks like it'll work nicely with Sea & Sea strobes. I'm using the YS-D1s.

Hi David, yes I've read that many have tried and Canon's eTTL protocol has so far proven notoriously hard to crack. I'm using manual flash with electrical sync cables on my NA5DMkIII housing but was looking for something that'll work with fiber-optic cables instead. If you work out a flash trigger (LED based I presume?) for the 5D MkIII I'd be interested!

Thanks Tim for the update. Look forward to your impressions of the Mk II flash trigger when you do get them. Soon I hope!

Mine isn't too far away now. I'll let you know when it gets here. Unfortunately Carlos' Glowdive trigger has failed to work with a ND-5D3 and Z-230 combination and when I took a look at the Triggerfish option at the NEC dive show in October, I was disappointed with the output. Looking at Adam's DEMA review, the Nauticam variant seems to be a well finished and professionally manufactured product - no surprise there!

Hi Tim,

Reviving an 'old' thread here, did you get to try the Nauticam flash trigger? I haven't seen any more news about this other than the fotos of it from DEMA 2012.
