The housing is still for sale.

I made a short video about #11075-HSS UWTechnics TTL Converter initial test and correct settings: (i forgot to say: some Sony cameras allow to set 2-nd curtain electronic (or fully electronic shutter), - don't use it with TTL-converter). Only 1-st curtain can be set electronic if you need).

Price reduced, = 1500 USD.

Please specify the TTL-Converter model. The model full number is written in its User Manual and on the carton box too. Since 2020 there were issued 3 different products based on 11075 model: #1075, #11075-II, #11075-HSS. Also, please specify the optical cable model. Is it Sea&Sea cable of former years, or new 613-core? This is very important for LED system usage. Sea&Sea currently produces 3 new cables of 613 type. The "L" length cable is product No.50133 - https://www.seaandsea.jp/products/strobe/accessory/020.html Do you use exactly this cable model? If yes, Ok. So, you probably also use screw caps of third party manufacturer, to connect such cable to Z330 and to Nauticam housing? Can you please show a photo of your setup, on the table. Let's check the hardwire first.

Hello Stuart, I can help you to make proper setup, including all settings. Let's do it step by step. What is your TTL-Converter model and fiber optical cable model?

UWTechnics produces TTL Converter and different type bulkheads for Ikelite housings, including Optical bulkhead, Nikonos and Ikelite style bulkheads. Dual cable is supported on both optical and electric bulkheads. So, it allows to connect a pair of strobes by fiber optics, or by electric sync cord very easy. For the details, you can contact manufacturer by e-mail: uwtechnics@gmail.com.

Hi Brian, Yes, UWTechnics TTL-converter #11031-HSS-Z supports Retra HSS. The HSS sync speeds 1/250-1/8000 s are available for Nikon cameras. Here is the link to the product on the manufacturer website: https://uwtechnics.com/index.php/online-store/ttl-converters/for-nikon/ttl-converter-for-nikon-nauticam-housings-detail You can ask User Manual (pdf) for the product by email: uwtechnics@gmail.com The product version #11031-HSS-Z is popular now, so you can order it from dealers in your country, or directly from UW Technics.

Yes, such problem of shutter / HSS-flash moment refers only to new type Panasonic (GH5) cameras construction / protocol, - for powering flash control system (TTL-Converter) from camera HotShoe pin. But If use former years m4/3 protocol (old version, without power pin usage), - it is another protocol and timings. UWTechnics converters for m4/3 family (Panasonic, Olympus) use only new version flash system protocol, powered from HotShoe pin. Miniature construction without battery was done according to the most of user's requests. We don't produce old version with battery supply now. But you can use TRT product, if it fits, why not. I plan to look at the new GH6 camera protocol. Maybe GH6 already does not have such a problem with shutter / HSS-flash moment, that took place with GH5 previously. Who knows. Let's look.

Hello, Panasonic GH5 version of UWTechnics TTL converter does not support Retra HSS functionality, as written in Specifications. This is only a single model TTL Converter which does not support Retra HSS. But all other versions UWTechnics converters (Nikon, Canon, Sony, Olympus) support Retra HSS normally. The reason is following: Panasonic GH5 HotShoe communication protocol had a flying moment of shutter opening (in some limits) in HSS mode. In all other brands cameras such time moment is hardly determined by protocol. So, to reliably cover the full shot by the HSS flash lighting Panasonic land strobes have rather long total flash duration in HSS mode, it is significantly longer than 5ms duration of HSS flash of Retra. That is why the HSS feature was excluded from UWT TTL Converter version for Panasonic GH5. I don't know, the problem is solved in GH6 camera, or not, but i did not test GH6 protocol yet. Maybe it is still the same.

Those ultra small size capacitors were produced by Japan manufacturer HITACHI, in limited quantities, by special orders of Inon and Sea&Sea. This is HD6 family of capacitors, it has always been in short supply due to a rare type of very rough foil inside. They are unavailable on casual open market of capacitors. Of course, Inon can replace the capacitors together with the main electronic board in the service center, but it is not cheap including delivery costs. Chris Ross already have written above, that problem may be not only in capacitors but also in the main electronic board. A year ago the spare PCB for Z240 was available, even including eBay, but currently product is totally discontinued. It may be available only in Inon service center. But officially, that spare PCB is discontinued. The good way for repairing Z240 now can be in purchasing a damaged Z240, disassembling it for spare parts. Sometimes i used to buy it very cheap. Many people have them on hands, because this model was in production so many years.

Tim, thanks for the kind words!

Some difference exists, because of capacitors, but as for me it is acceptable for most of cases TTL shooting. If manually perform a full energy flash discharge, the difference can be more visible. But in case of aged strobes like DS125, you also even can see a difference between 2 strobes just because of concrete strobe capacitors condition / age. Electrolytic capacitors are not very stable in longtime usage.
