To get mine to work again, I had to adjust the two gears that mesh together. Over time one of them had become a bit loose and slipped down the control rod leading to too much play. Once I repositioned it and tightened it, works like a charm.
Reading your first post it sounds like you already own the TTL converter and sync cables. If you do then you might as well go electrical. If you don't own them yet, you could try fibre optic as the cables can be made yourself or bought cheaper than electrical sync cables. If you're finding the...
Nice write up, some good info there.
Was the viewfinder completely unusable? There's no eyepiece there on the housing, so can you actually see the picture on the viewfinder given that your eye is so far from the picture with the housing and mask in the way.
The main advantage of going wired (TTL converter) is faster recycling time between shots and longer battery life as you are not waiting for your in built flash to recycle between shots, which can be slower than your strobe recycle time.
Advantages of fibre optic are that it is lighter and will...
Hi,
Sorry for my tardy reply now :) Thanks for the information. Luckily, I've been able to adjust it a bit more and it's working nice and smoothly again.
After a bit of tinkering with it I think the problem is due to the vertical shaft having some fore and aft play in it. When turning the housing wheel clockwise the shaft is pushed forward and that is fine. But when it is turned anticlockwise the vertical shaft shifts backwards a bit, which is...
Thanks for the replies. I've posted my problem over in the other Sea&Sea forum. I do remember reading the manufacturers forum but when I was posting my initial post, it totally slipped my mind.
Larry, I've tried putting some rubber (bicycle inner tube) inbetween the spinning gear and the...
I have a problem with my DX-D80 where the subcommand dial intermittently works. When turning the subcommand dial on the housing it does not turn the subcommand dial on the camera. It is a combination of either the rubber disc slipping on the camera dial or the cogs in the housing slipping...
