did you still use that graying thing (lead?) when soldering this and the other parts?

[FotoJackTube]

@youprefer The silver thing is Tin:

1. Chemistry a low-melting, malleable, ductile metallic element nearly approaching silver in color and luster: used in plating and in making alloys, tinfoil, and soft solders. Symbol: Sn; at. wt.: 118.69; at. no.: 50; sp. gr.: 7.31 at 20°C.

hi FotoJack, I'm planning to do this Mod, could you tell me why you choose that type of jack instead of the other one? thanks.

[FotoJackTube]

Hi @arioatu, I chose a phone jack, because it is very easy to find in any store, the ready-made cables are cheaper. Any other also can serve and if the connector is smaller, easier to place inside..

6:10 that is a standard 3.5 mini jack right?not the 2.5?thank you

@elijahdomingo Mini jack 3.5mm (1/8")

Just made this mod, minus the switch.. and it works well... this video was defiantly a big help... although the casing is very fiddly to get on and off its worth it if you need to use a external unit without having to pay for another flash...

when i got the Nissin Di622 i didn't know it didn't work with external units only found out afte getting it. Novice mistake! glad there was a way to mod it... and as far as i could find this was the best video to show you thought the process

dont understand why people buy cheap gear , a good flash lasts forever

Hi FotoJack, thanks for the MOD videos, just a quick question though, what kind of wire are you using for the MOD? Does it matter? i hear that using the wrong type increases resistance and make the flash less reliable? Thanks.

[yumifaeldo]

the small switch that you attached, is it just to turn the photocell on/off? is the switch connected directly to the capacitor beside the cell which you cut in the video?

Just to add info. I have been searching cheaper alternatives to pocket wizard and flash wave to trigger my modded flash. I found the Yongnuo RF-602 N1 works great. These are available in various online shops. It's cheap and reliable -- JUST MAKE SURE YOU REPLACE THE BATTERIES THAT CAME WITH THE SET. The batteries are of poor quality and can easily drain out, specially the two AAA batteries in the receiver. I'm able to get flash synch of 1/200, the max for my EOS 450D. Thanks FotoJack! :)

Good video. I have a working Nissin Di622 speedlite but the hot shoe is broken. kindly suggest how or where to get replacement.

Hi there,

I'm wondering when you're soldering the white and back gray wires at 8:43.

Does it matter which wire goes to where, I mean at the jack.?

Either would also work?

[youprefer]

@FotoJackTube ok, so i'm about to buy the parts already. I just can't find the parts list (i saw fotojack es but it was in spanish). I just know i need: Soldering Iron + tin, cutters, wires (any specifics?) and a 3.5 mm jack. missed anything?
