1. Remove the 4 screws holding the hot shoe to flash
2. Raise flash head and swivel sideway to see the two hidden tabs (Careful with these the kind of break easy - As noted by TC)
3. Remove the flash body front from the flash
4. Unscrew the 2 screws holding the board to the flash unit, Lift up the board and then unclip the hotshoe from the other board
Next you need to solder two wires to the 3.5 mm socket
I used red and black wires to match the hotshoe ones
Then solder the 2 wires to the hotshoe
Now you need to drill a 1/4 inch hold on the front face plate to insert your 3.5mm mono socket
Now reassembly the flash unit by putting the clip back to the board from the hotshoe.
Put the main board back on the main flash with the new socket wires running under it.
Install the front plate, and then the hotshoe
Now test your flash to see if both hotshoe, and your new 3.5mm sync socket works

hi, thanks for the info! ive got one of these and am just triggering it with the optical sensor atm.
ReplyDeleteim having a problem with it firing to early. i use a canon 30d, and when i take a photo looking directly at the flash i can see it flash as my shutter goes up. thus in the photo it doesnt show that its gone of. this is happening around 90% of the time. do you have any idea what may be wrong or how i could fix it? i really dont want to have to buy pocket wizards...
