Fiber optic converter Ikelite DS strobe (3rd Gen)

Fiber optic converter Ikelite DS strobe with pre-flash learning(3rd Gen)

Converts the electrical bulkhead of any Ikelite DS strobe into a fiber optic port.

Attachment and use

Trigger your Ikelite DS-series strobe off any camera or strobe flash. The Optical Converter simply attaches to the strobe's electrical bulkhead in place of a sync cord connector.

The Optical Receiver with Pre-Flash Learning supports manual exposure modes as set on the attached DS strobe. TTL exposure mode is not supported.

This product is intended for use when triggering a strobe by a camera's built-in flash.

This is the correct sensor for most compact digital cameras from Canon and Sony including (but not limited to) the Canon G7X-series and the Sony RX100-series cameras.

This Receiver may provide intermittent operation when triggering via a non-pre-flash camera or an LED trigger. Refer to these recommendations to select the correct receiver for your application:

• For use with most Olympus, OM Systems, or Panasonic cameras, use the RC1 Olympus & Panasonic TTL Receiver for DS Strobes instead.
• For use with the Canon TT5 TTL Transmitter, use the RC2 TTL Receiver for DS Strobes instead.
• For use with LED flash triggers, such the Manual Fiber Optic Transmitter or the LED triggers used in Nauticam housings, use the Non-Pre-Flash Version instead.

Automatic Pre-Flash Recognition

The Optical Receiver automatically configures itself for compatibility with both pre-flash and non pre-flash camera modes. No setting of small switches or confusion over number of pre-flashes. Simply turn on your strobe and take one picture to configure.

An individual Optical Receiver is needed for each strobe. Use of multiple strobes requires one Optical Receiver per strobe. The Optical Receiver supports all Ikelite DS strobes.
