Help with Ike strobe connections via Ikelite manual controller
31 March 2013 - 04:53 PM
I have a D7000, Aquatica housing and two Ds-125s. The housing has two ports, one standard nikonis 5 pin and a fiber optic. I have been using an Ike TTL converter and a dual Ike TTL cord via the nikonis port. I mostly shoot strobes in manual and don't need the TTL converter which has recently failed.
Rather than replace the TTL converter, I'd like to incorporate the Ikelite 10 position manual controller so it's easier to adjust the strobe settings. My problem is getting the flash signal from the housing to the Ikelite controller. It appears that the Ike controller is only set up to operate as a slave from a flash coming from the housing. It doesn't appear possible to get a flash signal from the housing unless I run a FO cable from the housing to the sensor on the manual controller. I don't know if this is possible, or is there another solution that will allow me to incorporate the 10 position controller.
Thanks for your help.

Wanted: Recent Experience with Air Pacific Carry on Luggage
24 February 2013 - 07:09 PM
I'm headed to Fiji (Nai'a) in June out of LAX and have read horror stories about AP's carry-on policies. I check the pinned thread and searched the forum. Nothing close to current.
I plan to check two bags at 23 KG each plus about 30# of carry-on.
I'd appreciate any recent experience with AP.
Also do they still have the special deal for divers with extra luggage. As I recall, you could buy an extra number of kilos for checked luggage ahead of time. Not available at gate in LAX. And apparently they do not advertise this deal.
TIA.
