HSS of camera flash-triggering

robissme · 02-16-2013, 07:35 AM

Is there any solution out in the market for of-camera HSS flash trigering?, preferly wireless or a 5m hot-shoe cable cord adapter. I would like to use a Metz 58 AF-2 for this with my K-5 II.

It's possible to do HSS wirelessly. You need 2 flash units: one attached to the camera, one remote. The flash units need to support this function: Pentax AF360FGZ or AF540FGZ. There may be others (e.g. Metz), but I don't have direct experience. Currently the built-in flash does not support HSS.

This thread may help. Pentax does make a long cable (F5PL, 9 ft I think). You can daisy-chain the setup.
