Drop rig
Home-made drop rig unit. Made out of 3/4" PVC pipe, a salvaged power supply, switch and solenoid unit. Drop is formed when the switch is pushed, falling into the bin. The drop falls through the photo-interrupter and triggers the flashes after a delay period. Typically two flashes are used, one directly triggered from the flash, the other is set as an optical slave.
A focusing aid is used to manually set focus on the drop collision location.
