DIY fiber optic writeup with parts
Hi there!
So I have a bit of a weird situation with my current set up, in that I have an Aquatica housing with LED flash trigger, and a YS-D1, and a YS-D2. As has been documented in various forum threads, the YS-D2 is not very sensitive, and so doesn't trigger from most LED flash triggers. That means that the solution I came up with is to trigger the YS-D1, and have the output of the D1 trigger the D2.
That means running a fiber optic from the housing to the left (D1) strobe, and another fibe
At the weekend I was asked if I could do some testing of strobes using TTL settings. This lead to a slightly sobering lesson or two which I'd like to share with you guys.
I've posted before that
a). I use a pair of scissors to cut fibre optic cable; and
b). that I use the Inon double-hole plugs to plug the cable into my strobe (with Howshot L-plugs at the housing end); and
c). that this method has worked perfectly with my strobes.
And now for the salutary bit: yes, works
