kevin_penczak Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 <p>I am thinking there is nothing i can do to get my flash snyc faster than 1/200th when using radios slaves with a Canon 5d and a couple of sunpak 120j flashes. These are the ways i see around the 1/200th problem (although none of these options are good for me as of right now) : 1)medium format. leaf shutter allowing 1/500th. 2) Some nikon cameras with electronic shutter allowing faster sync speeds. 3)high sync speed, i think some of the new pocket wizards can do this (might work with canon flashes but with the older sunpak flashes i am assuming it will not work). tell me i am not stuck!!!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john_deerfield Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 <p>How about a ND filter?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin_penczak Posted September 5, 2009 Author Share Posted September 5, 2009 <p>the pocketwizards mean i would have to change my flashes to certain canon models and i saw tons of bad reviews about the pw's from customers on the B&H website. ND filter would not help, still cant sync past 1/200th. I am trying to freeze action when the sun it out and 1/200th doesnt always allow me to do that.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerryfergusonphotography Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 <p>One of the best solutions I've seen are RadioPoppers in combination with pricey Canon flashes. The new RadioPopper JrX's were rumored to have some pretty magical abilities too .</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
