Thanks Mud.Starrr, I did exactly as you said... and it worked like a charm!!! Thank you sooo much!!
My Minolta 2800 AF flash is now syncing @ 1/200 !! ...What a jump from 1/30!! ..Although a very slight darker top can be noticed at 1/200 ... but I can live with that... knowing that it syncs perfectly at 1/160 at least!! Thanks again... and yes, I do agree with you that these triggers never misfire... when I was restricted to 1/30 I noticed that too!! Btw... I'm looking forward to buy some more cheap powerful flashes (Vivitar, maybe)... so my question is... will this mod work for all other flashes? ... or do I have to reset it back to default for some of them? |

Your welcome!
And what camera do you use? Mine sync perfect with 1/200, and sometimes with a bar @ 1/250 (you have to be lucky at that speed ![]() |

Flashwave 2 and Blazzeo both make wireless systems compatible with Sony.
Blazzeo is dirt cheap, but I've found them reliable. Flashwave 2 is a little more, but waaaaay better quality, and can sync up to 1/5000 if you can trick it into doing so. ![]() |

Explain to me how it defies the laws of physics? |

What law of physics are you referring to, and why would you think that it defies such a law? Considering how I've seen images lit at 1/5000 with a flashwave 2, I somehow think you are the one needing to explain.

The laws of physics say the shutter is only partially open at 1/5000s. Only HSS capable flashes, which emit a series of consecutive flashes, can light an entire frame with shutters faster than x-sync.
Could it have been a slow sync setup, where the shutter speed is equal to the x-sync speed, and the flash duration is 1/5000s? Any trigger can do that... |

That's for focal plane shutters. Many cameras don't use those and could indeed sync at just about any speed available. |

This is an A-mount forum, Ray! All A-mount cameras use focal planes, by my (fairly wide) knowledge.
Darnit, Ray, you're sounding like a real-life Sheldon Cooper! Edited by Fuzzphoto - 07 February 2011 at 17:20 |

True - but to be fair, Jlav didn't exactly say it could be done with an Alpha. And discussions of other cameras and systems creep in here pretty often.
We really can learn some unexpected things here! I now know who Sheldon Cooper is, along with Heath Robinson (Mark L invoked that name when referring to a post of mine in another thread a few hours ago). Edited by sybersitizen - 07 February 2011 at 18:16 |

![]() But I digress. I would love to know how it is possible to trick any flash or radio trigger into syncing at 1/5000 sec with a focal plane shutter, assuming no HSS, of course. |

Again, the way I read it, no such claim has been made (yet). |

I see what you mean, but I had the impression (as did Fuzzphoto) that Jlav was implying a focal plane shutter. Would you care to elaborate Jlav?

I am uploading, I'll edit with a link to a RAW file... bwahaa haaaaaa! I am so excited, I have experimented with what was described to me. I think I finally figured out that they gave me an incomplete description. I'll let you see the RAW file, and I'll work on a diagram on how to do this, it is so simple I can't believe I never thought of it before!
