MicroSync Digital II - the Smallest, Smartest Wireless Strobe Sync System.

Fire a DSLR and Strobes Together

Using the MicroSync® II to fire a DSLR and Strobes Together:

The MicroSync® II system can be used to fire a DSLR & strobes simultaneously. With two MicroSync® II systems and a camera firing cord, you can remotely fire your DSLR & strobes perfectly in sync without having to be behind the camera.
What you need:
  1. Two MicroSync® II Kits.
  2. 2. A DSLR with a universal hot shoe and an electronic shutter release input. If your camera doesn’t have a universal hot shoe, click here.
  3. 3. A strobe with a ¼” mono plug, 3.5mm mini plug, or two prong plug sync input. If your strobe doesn’t have either, click here.
  4. 4. A camera firing cord for your DSLR. To see available camera firing cords, click here.
How to do it:
  • Turn on your camera and strobe.
  • Place the first MicroSync® II transmitter into your camera’s hot shoe. See Photo #1.
  • Open the battery compartment of the first MicroSync® II receiver and install the “AA” batteries (included with the kit) in the first MicroSync® II receiver. See Photo #2.
  • Plug the first MicroSync® II receiver into your strobe’s sync input. See Photo #3.
  • Set the auto-power off feature on your camera to “off”. See Photo #4.
  • Plug the camera firing cord into your DSLR’s electronic shutter release input. See Photo #5.
  • Open the battery compartment of the second MicroSync® II receiver and install the “AA” batteries (included with the kit) in the second MicroSync® II receiver. See Photo #2.
  • Attach the second MicroSync® II receiver to your tripod. There are two ways to do this:
    Option #1 - Using Velcro.

    Place one side of the Velcro on the second MicroSync® II receiver. See Photo #6. Place the other side of the Velcro on to the leg of your tripod. See Photo #7. Stick the second MicroSync® II receiver to the leg of the tripod.
    Option #2 – Using the Lanyard.

    Thread the small cord end of the lanyard (included in the MicroSync® II Kit) through the islet on the second MicroSync® II receiver. See Photo #8. Pull the large cord end of the lanyard through the loop of the small cord end. See Photo #9. Pull the large cord end snug. See Photo #10. Hang lanyard around the tripod. See Photo #11.
  • Plug the sub-mini phone end of the camera firing cord into the output of the second MicroSync® II receiver. See Photo #12.
  • Within 10 seconds of plugging the sub-mini phone end of the camera firing cord into the output of the second MicroSync® II receiver, insert the end of the paperclip into the Channel Select Opening of the second MicroSync® II transmitter and press the down once. See Photo #13. This step is necessary so that the second MicroSync® II transmitter and receiver are on a different channel than the first MicroSync® II transmitter and receiver.
  • While holding the MicroSync® II transmitter in your hand, press the test fire button to fire the camera. See Photo #14.
