TimG 62 Posted January 22 Others with more detailed knowledge will, I'm sure chip-in - but 2018 was pretty early days for HSS on the Retras. I'm not sure the strobes at that stage had HSS so the likelihood is that the trigger didn't either. That said, you can't go far wrong just by trying it. I've got a UWT board in my Subal housing that let's me use HSS on Retra ProX. It's a really great feature especially for those heavily backlight or sunball shots.

That said, I was hoping this would be the year where I don't need to spend more on gear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Normalement je fais d'expositions sans TTL, mais je peux vérifier avec TTL ce week-end. Have you tried TTl? Are they reliable and accurate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yehia 2 Posted 2 hours ago Hello, I am planning to purchase pair of Retra Pro X with supercharger to use with my Sony A1 camera in Nauticam housing. I wanted to ask the experts here what exactly do i need to purchase to use TTL and HSS on the camera? i have heard some limitations with Nauticam housing and wondering if there are workarounds? I am interested to know what would be the final setup look (TTL converter, tigger, cabels, etc..) would appreciate your advises! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am interested to know what would be the final setup look (TTL converter, tigger, cabels, etc..) would appreciate your advises! I use a pair of original Retra Pros with a UWT converter in a SeaFrogs housing with an A6300 camera. HSS works, TTL is hit or miss - I find that it underexposes on wide-angle, but works well on blackwater, so I generally shoot manual, but use TTL during blackwater dives to avoid blowing out shiny subjects. For cables, I used a pair of Howshot multi-core cables for a few years, but one of them eventually broke - it would trigger the strobe when shooting off pop-up flash, but not from the LED; I assume there's a break somewhere inside the cable that degrades its light transmission capability - so I spent the money on a pair of Sea & Sea cables which have much thicker cladding. Only used those on a single trip so far, I''ll see how they stand up to continued (ab)use. TRT Electronics s-TURTLE would be another option, and I've seen it used successfully with Retra strobes, but I have no personal experience. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
