Dual Sync Vs Sync and Slave

Recommended Posts

I am sure this may have asked and answered previously, but I can not find it.

 

What are thew pro's and con's of using dual sync'd strobes versus one sync'd and a slave? Assuming non-TTl use I would have thought for the budget consiceous the use of slave gets the photons painted on the scene without the dual sync cost and issues?

 

Regards, Tony

Hi Tony.....welcome to Wetpixel :o:(

 

With the slave option, your strobe can be triggered by another photographer.....can be very irritating for you and for the other guys <_<

Hi,

 

I am shooting 2 SB105's with a D70 in an Ikelite housing. I tried the shooting with 1 synch and 1 slave. I was getting inconsistent results. Sometimes the slave wasn't firing. I had a diffuser on both strobes ... not sure if that was interfering with the sensor or not.

 

At any rate, the uncertainty was enough to make me buy a dual synch cord to eliminate the problem.

 

Happy Shooting B)
