<p>I have been able to HSS hack my Oly E-3 and speedotron 805 pack for years at 1,8000th with no banding. I did it back in 2008. I moved from OLY because IMO they aren't ever going to try and compete with Nikon or Canon as real player in the Pro DLR market! I had to leave and lost my HSS hack for a little while but gained a better over all system. <br>

Link to the video I made a long time ago, but lost my HD video hosting to Snapfish and moved the video to YouTube only a year or so ago. But I made that video more than a couple of years ago.<br>
Oly invented HSS The call it FP mode. All you needed to do is put the camera in FP mode by putting on a hot shoe flash like the fl-36r take a shot in FP mode, slip the flash off the hot shoe and place on any trigger. All done good to go, if you have the duration. My 805's work perfect ( I have 3 of them) Oly spoiled me, it was so easy. <br>
No need to pay for pocket wizards Flex tt what ever, I have a bag full of PW Plus and PlusII's now I habe to buy Flex's, Hell No I refuse. I wish all camera's worked as easy as my E-3 did.<br>
Now I have a 7D and it is a nightmare to make this work. I refuse to pay PW more money to do a HSS hack, so I started to investigate, this is what I found.</p>
<p>On a 7D this is what you do, buy a 220ex take it apart, slip in a mini photocell in the tube area, run the wires down inside the body, solder in a mini jack (3.5mm mono) and make a mini sync cable to your favorite radio trigger. On the 220ex slide the HSS switch to put the camera in HSS mode and you can trigger pack lights and mono lights with no banding. If you dont want the hot shoe installed flash to add any light, flag it with gaff tape.<br>
I will make a video to show the 7D in action. I have worked on this for a long time. Michael Bass was working with pocket wizard while they were developing the Flex & mini's. He spoke to me when I asked him to help me with my project when I was using the 430EXII. <br>
You can add a sync port on the 430EXII to trigger it off camera but you cant grab the signal to trigger a PW with the flash in HSS mode. It super imposes a weird voltage back to the camera and will only trigger the (radio trigger one time). I see that Photix, PW, and Radio popper have all figured it out. <br>
It is only a matter of time until you see Flea bay triggers with the ability to put a camera in HSS mode and allow you to trigger studio packs that have the proper duration's to allow the tail sync hack. <br>
I want to make a little cube, that let you slip in a standard radio trigger, and has a button or a switch that tricks a Canon or Nikon body into HSS mode. Then all you need is light source with the proper duration's. No need to replace all your triggers, I paid hundreds of $$$ on PW's and now they wont do what I want them to do, pisses me off.<br>
I always heard people cry Oly was late to the party, so it seems Oly wasn't so late to the party after all. The invented Sensor dust removal, IS, and HSS (FP mode) to bad they sold out to build Micro 4/3 cameras instead of building a real Pro DLSR or I would still be in Oly Camp instead of with my PITA 7D and dust pump thousand dollar plastic lenses. Did I mention Zuiko glass is some of the best I have ever owned namely the 35-100 f2 (still no equal)</p>
<p>OK well on with your mono block, flext tt BS. What a huge waste of money when they Canon and Nikon can offer this capability with ease as part of body. </p>
Which monolights Hypersync to 1/8000th w/Nikon D3s + MiniTT1/FlexTT5 set-up?
