ArnoSync with ArnoShutter - Setup 2013
ArnoSync with ArnoShutter now equipped two flashes. A Sunpack PF20XD Flash and a modified Godox CF-18 Flash to achieve a shorter flash time. I replaced the original 140 uF - 330 Volt Photoflash capacitor by a suitable Rubycon 50 uF - 330 Volt capacitor. The Flashtime is now ca. 250 usec (T.5 value). I'm also looking also for another flash to modify. It's a Smith Victor PG-15S, which has nearly an ideal formfactor for my application. Because this type has no hotshoe contact, flash ignition occurs optical. The extra delay has only very low visible effects on the test pictures I have taken. The above flashes are very small and light compared to my Nikon SB-600 and Lumopro LP-120 flashes.
The ArnoSync driving electronics are still the same. The ArnoShutter is now build on a Kaiser 6960 - 60 mm Lens Cap. A simular version for my Olympus XZ-1 rig build on a even smaller Kaiser 6954 - 54 mm Lens Cap is on the way. Shutterlag and open time is now about 5 msec. Now, end of may, just waiting for more blooming flowers in our small garden and insects who visiting them to test my rig ...
