LekicINC 0 Posted December 19, 2007 (edited) Hello, is it possible to use the ikelite housing without the waterproof connected to the camera and NO ttl cable installed to it. I bought the housing and ds50 substrobe for the 5050 but it didnt come with a waterproof cap. Am I forced to use the ds50 substrobe with it just so I can prevent flooding? I am pretty sure I know the answer (otherwise they wouldnt call it a waterproof cap) but hoping someone may have a solution since I leave for my trip tomorrow!

Cerianthus 55 Posted December 19, 2007 dont use it like that unless you want to drown it. It may not be fast, but it will happen. Did the DS-50 come with a waterproof cap? You can use that one (they have the same fittings). You wont bring the DS-50 in the water without the sync anyway. When using a cap under water: apply the same care to oring cleaning and closing as when attaching a sync. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I may just end up using my old set up because I am little nervous, but I really appreciate your speedy help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cerianthus 55 Posted December 19, 2007 Now I am confused: we are talking about this cap arent we? This just screws loose. The waterproof fitting is the o ring. If the cap is stuck on the DS-50 , how would you be able to fit the sync. Anyway, if it is just use a little more force, and use fabic or a rubber band to increase friction.

ERRR, now im really embarrassed. I didnt realize you had to pull. I should call my mother and ask if i was dropped on my head as a child. Again, I really appreciate your help in solving both my problems with common sense! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
