Setup
- Identify Ports: Locate the 3.5mm sync jack on your camera or flash receiver, and the PC sync port on your studio strobe flash.
- Connect 3.5mm Plug: Insert the 3.5mm plug end of the cable into the corresponding 3.5mm sync jack on your camera or flash receiver. Ensure a secure connection.
- Connect PC Sync Plug: Insert the male PC sync plug end of the cable into the PC sync port on your studio strobe flash. Ensure it is fully seated.
- Position Equipment: Utilize the 5-meter (196.85-inch) length of the cable to position your flash unit freely within the desired distance from your camera.
This cable allows for direct wired synchronization between your camera and flash unit, eliminating the need for wireless triggers in certain setups.
Operating Instructions
Once the cable is securely connected between your camera (or flash receiver) and the studio strobe flash, the synchronization is established. The operation of the flash unit will then be governed by your camera's settings or the flash receiver's commands.
- Direct Camera-to-Flash Sync: If connecting directly from camera to flash, ensure your camera's flash sync settings are correctly configured for external flash.
- Flash Receiver Integration: If using a flash receiver, connect the 3.5mm plug to the receiver and the PC sync plug to the flash. The receiver will then trigger the flash based on its own wireless signal.
- Testing: Before a shoot, perform a test fire to confirm proper synchronization between your camera and flash unit.
This cable is designed for reliable wired connectivity, providing consistent flash triggering.
Maintenance
Proper maintenance will extend the life of your sync cord.
- Cleaning: Wipe the cable and connectors with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Storage: When not in use, coil the cable loosely to prevent kinks and damage. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Handling: Always grasp the plugs when connecting or disconnecting the cable, not the cable itself, to prevent strain on the connections. Avoid sharp bends or excessive pulling.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the cable for any signs of wear, fraying, or damage to the insulation or connectors. If damage is observed, discontinue use.
