Quick Links
Inserting Batteries
Remove the battery flap by depressing the latch and sliding towards the front of the product.
Insert the batteries in the correct orientation and replace the battery flap.
The Trigger is powered by 2 x AAA batteries (Not included).
Turning On
The Trigger has a power button located on the underside of the product.
Press once to turn on and again to turn off.
A green indicator light will appear on the back when the product is turned on.
Mounting the Pod
(Optional) Place your Adaptalux Pod onto the Trigger and use the tightening wheel to screw the Pod to the Trigger. Tighten until the Pod feels firmly attached. Be sure to support both the Trigger and Pod while turning the screw..
It is not required to mount the Pod on the trigger, although you may wish to do so as an on-camera lighting solution.
Always support the Pod with one hand when adjusting the position of any connected Lighting Arms to reduce any unnecessary forces on the connections between Arms, Pod, Trigger, and Hotshoe.
Attaching to the hotshoe
Ensure the locking slider is in the unlocked position and slide the Trigger onto your camera hot shoe.
Slide the locking mechanism to the right to lock the trigger to your camera hotshoe.
The Trigger fits any camera with a standard hot shoe connection.
Ensure the Trigger is properly situated and locked to the hot shoe before adjusting Lighting Arms or moving the camera.
Test Button
The Trigger has a test button located on the underside of the product.
This button can be used to test fire your Flash Arms and ensure a good radio signal between the Trigger and Flash Arms.
All active Flash arms will fire if they are in range. This can be very useful for testing unusual setups that may block radio signal transmission.
Low Battery
A red Indicator light will show on the rear of the product when the battery power is low.
When this light shows it’s time to replace the batteries in the Trigger.
Operating with low battery may affect the range and performance of the trigger and flash arms.
