I found a dinosaur ! Worth keeping/using ? SMDV MySlave 100 digital radio slave

**jpzk** · 12-14-2017, 04:57 PM

I was browsing through my stuff and found this (still in the box - never used):
I will post an additional photo of what's inside that box ... no idea what to do with this

.... bought that a while (long time) ago but never even try to do anything with it .
There are two components with this "kit" : the one seen here o the box and another which is smaller and looks like a remote.
Throw away? Send for recycling? Sell for cheap?

Digital Radio Slave? Sounds like an Audioslave/Radiohead mashup...

Yes it is ... just browsed through (the box) it minutes ago.
I'm still wondering why I ever bought this ... ? Maybe I wanted to get into "fancy" flash photography but not anymore.
I'll put it up for sale in the Marketplace and if it doesn't sell it'll go to wherever.

Looks like you can download the user instructions (not much there) from this site:

The box contains the instructions but thanks for the link ... better.

I still don't know what I'll do with this ... ???

UPDATE:

I will put this for sale on the Marketplace ... anyone knows about a "fair price" ??
I now know what it is for but no idea about pricing.
Thanks !

go on ebay and search remote flash trigger. there are several for very little. I just upgraded mine to cactus v6 which allow for power control on camera, pttl pass thru, and grouping and they were only $40 a piece used.

I've checked on eBay and this specific item is no longer available ... too old ?
Anyway, I will post it soon.
