Subject: RE: What Flash Offset settings did you use??
Hi Jerry,
I’ve made hypersync work with two distinct setups. The first one is using a MiniTT1 on my 1DmkIII, and a FlexTT5 on the flash. This works out of the box with an AB1600, an AB800, and a Vivitar 28HV. I haven’t tested specifically with my Sunpak 120j.
The other setup uses the MiniTT1 as the transmitter, with Plus IIs as the receivers. This required firmware adjustments. The first step was to check the “High Speed Sync Disable Mode) box in the sync timing tab. My offset is -1900. I can only get 1/4000s clean.
Basically, when using ControlTL channels, I don’t need to configure anything. It works to 1/8000 out of the box. Using the legacy Plus II channels, I have to customize the firmware, and I can only get to 1/4000, clean. I should also note that I haven’t tried this with my 20D yet.
I shot formals for a Quinceanera yesterday, at noon in the blazing sun, using lots of hypersynced lights. It’s definitely usable. I’m going to post some on Flickr shortly.
