TTL Receiver Ikelite RC2 (with DS strobes)

TTL Receiver Ikelite RC2 (with DS strobes)

Convert your Ikelite DS strobe's electrical bulkhead to a fiber optic connection for use with compatible Ikelite TTL Fiber Optic Transmitters.

An individual RC2 TTL Receiver and compatible fiber optic cord is needed for each strobe. Use of two strobes requires two receivers. This product attaches to an Ikelite DS strobe. It is not intended to be attached to a housing and will provide no functionality if attached to a housing bulkhead. This receiver is not compatible with non-Ikelite strobes or non-digital Ikelite strobes.

Refer to housing and strobe compatibility information below.

Manual strobe exposure

The strobe's output may be adjusted using the manual power settings built into the strobe (varies by model). Make sure the camera’s flash mode is set to manual. Choose the minimum flash output necessary in the camera to trigger the DS strobe. This will conserve the camera’s battery power.
