Off topic:


BTW, I've got my CTR-301P few weeks ago and finally (yesterday) I managed to make it work with my old flash and my homemade safe sync that I used between the old flash and the CTR so the flash doesn't burn my CTR.


If anyone is interested, my brother checked the output of the CTR-301P with a digital scope, the result is:


The CTR has some Vx voltage in its output (around 5V I think, but not sure) and when there is a trigger, it drops to 1.6V for 25ms.

Thanks so much!!! I learned from the last time I tried to take his picture in this fashion that if your setup isn't ready before he is that it's not going to work! He did really well though. I was able to take about 50 frames before I decide not to press my luck any further :-)


Congrats on the CTR-301P purchase. Have you had a chance to test them out? I can only sync up to 1/200. At 1/250 a slight black line appears on the bottom of the frame. For what I paid though I can deal with that. 1/200 is still pretty good considering.


I'm glad that your homemade safe sync worked and thanks for sharing the voltage information. I'm sure lots of people here were curious (especially after Sean wrote all of his posts about OFC "Off Camera Flash" which got so many of us inspired to enter the world of the strobist.
