Sea&Sea D80 Housing and inon z-240

[calvinsy]

I'm just bought sea&sea D80 housing and still decide whith strobe to go: whether inon z-240 or sea&sea YS-110. I got a TTL converter III and I'm afraid whether it would work if connecting to inon z-240 and which cord able to connect them.

Congrats on the housing. Where are you located?

You can use the 5-pin Nikon cord for either strobe. I would go with the INON strobe instead of the Sea & Sea. I use the Z220's with my Sea & Sea housing and I love them.

Just make sure that the Inon strobe is compatible with the TTL converter you have (is it a Heinrich Weikamp unit inside?). I have a pair of Z240:s and am very happy with them. Then again, the YS110 also seem to be a nice strobe at a better price. The advantage of the Z240 is one or two stops brighter, even smaller in size and rated to 100 meters (if this matters to you). A bit more expensive though. If it's compatible and the price difference doesn't matter to you, go for the Inon-strobe. I use Nikonos 5-pin cables with my Inons to a Hugyfot housing (D200) and a HW TTL-converter inside.

it is the new TTL convertor III from Sea&Sea and I don't know whether it has Heinrich Weikamp unit inside. I know Inon light is working without convertor. really doubt if using a convertor

thx. I'm in Hong Kong. just because I'm bought TTL Converter III and not sure whether it would work on Z240.

I have looked all over the web and seems there has no such certain answer about this.

The S&S ttl II and III converter works fine with Inon Z240's. No issues at all.

Calvin, I believe you should use the S&S 5pin nikonos cables to connect the Inon's to the TTL Converter. The Nikon TTL Converter should have a 5pin cable that will go to the bulkhead of the housing.

Which shop did you use in HK, if you don't mind me asking? They should have told you all this.
