Guys,
Slight change of discussion course: I mainly do the wireless outdoors and I found there are many instances when the slave fails to sense the master trigger flash and doesn't light at all. I've been working with the 360FGZ placed at 2-3 meters away from the camera and at an angle of around 45 degrees from the optical axis. It seems the sensor on the front of the flash needs more direct orientation towards the master in order for the flashes communication to take place. Indoors the light bouncing from the walls is significant enough for the flash orientation to matter less, but outdoors it appears the wireless range and usability is drastically limited. So what is the maximum distance and flash angle you found effective in various circumstances? Any tricks to make the flash sensor more responsive? Thanks.
Servus, Alin
Have you tried taping a small white cardoard piece on the slave's side, (to reflect the controller's information)?
