Dave, I'll now have in my minds eye that look Benny Hill had. You know, that impish look of "yes, I really did say that"

If British TV is the only good thing on TV in America then you really do have my utmost sympathy. Very occasionally ours scrapes up to the level of total dross, usually it only warrants a description which would lead to an instant Forum ban for profanity. I'd MUCH rather tap holes in adapters. Much rather. Phil ǁ Kershaw Soho Reflex: 4¼" Ross Xpres, 6½" Aldis, Super XX/ABC Pyro in 24 DDS, HP3/Meritol Metol in RFH, Johnson 'Scales' brand flash powder. Kodak Duo Six-20/Verichrome Pan. Other odd bits over the decades, simply to get the job done - not merely to polish and brag about cos I'm too mean to buy the polish!

Even though I do have a bottoming tap, I elected to drill and tap straight through. There's more thread than you'd ever need (and, man, was it ever tedious trying to get the tap all the way through). EDIT: And it looks like that very clamp might be available right your own backyard, Elv: http://www.camtoolbox.com …f-cclamp-with-socket.html Components Falcon Eyes have a plastic holder for the spigot WWW.YN622.RU

Connect the transmitting MiniTT1 to the PocketWizard Utility, and navigate to the HyperSync/HSS tab. Check "HyperSync Only (Disable HSS/FP)" and click "Apply Changes." 2.) Set the flash to full power (in H-mode (FP HSS) you could use other power levels once this is confirmed working) 3.) Take a few shots with your camera set at your desired HyperSync Speed. If the results aren't satisfactory, connect the receiving FlexTT5 to the PocketWizard Utility, and navigate to the HyperSync/HSS tab. Adjust the settings in the dropdown next to "P2 Flash duration" and click "Apply Changes." Cheetah flash in the top shoe. 1.) Connect the FlexTT5 the Cheetah will be set upon to the PocketWizard Utility, navigate to the "Misc" tab, and check "Basic Trigger Mode." This flash is not compatible with the ControlTL system, and needs to be used in Basic Trigger mode for consistent results. 2.) Connect the transmitting MiniTT1 to the PocketWizard Utility, and navigate to the HyperSync/HSS tab. Check "HyperSync Only (Disable HSS/FP)" and "Apply Changes." 3.) Take a few shots at your desired HyperSync shutter speed. If you're not happy with the results, connect the MiniTT1 to the PocketWizard Utility, navigate to the "HyperSync/HSS" tab, and adjust the settings in the drop down next to "HyperSync Flash Duration for Standard Channels." I will say that the P2 port will generally give better results because it uses ControlTL signals. Basic Trigger mode uses Standard Channel signals. When triggering above X-sync, Standard Channel signals go out last, and with cameras with limited timing windows, can result in worse performance. There's also a third method to try to get seamless performance at 1/8000th...but it's not optimized. It involves the P2 port. It's effectively the same as the P2 setting above, but you do not check "HyperSync Only (Disable HSS/FP)" 1.) Set the flash to full power ( in H-mode (FP HSS) you could use other power levels once this is confirmed working) 3.) Take a few shots with your camera set at your desired HyperSync Speed. If the results aren't satisfactory, connect the receiving FlexTT5 to the PocketWizard Utility, and navigate to the HyperSync/HSS tab.

There is an image of the PocketWizard utlilty here for anyone trying to follow this - http://wiki.pocketwizard.com/images/e/ed/HyperSyncHSS.jpg . I have tried method # 1 (P2 via a sync cord) with my D700. It did not work for me. Here are my findings:

It did not work for me. Here are my findings: At default factory setting of 7 for P2 HyperSync flash duration I would get black bar at lower rough approximate 5% of pixels. Changing that to 1 gave me black bar at lower approximate 50% of pixels. Changing it to 8, 9 or 10 still gave me black bar at lower rough approximate 5% of pixels. What I should try next? Hi Zoran, thanks for trying that.

Yes. elv wrote in post #15922898 And you are changing graduations on the receiving TT5 not the TT1 transmitter? Correct. elv wrote in post #15922898 Can you try 6, 5, and 4. ... Also try switching H-mode off quickly at the same setting (flash on full power) and see if pure hypersync happens to get any more frame. ... You may as well try method 3 at the same time, just uncheck the - "HyperSync Only (Disable HSS/FP)" on the TT1 Will do.
