Very helpful, sensible and logical advice. Confirmed a few suspicions I've had: (a) check the charge on your trigger; and (b) don't assume that your FO cables will last forever! Thanks both. 👍🏻
Thank you Alex and Adam for practical troubleshooting tips. I've build my own optical trigger and made some tests for it. I noticed that both the strobe types I had for test in fact green LEDs worked the best, better than whites with double amount of nominal candelas.Most optical sensor semiconductors are most sensitive for longer wavelengths, orange, red or even infrared. Therefore red LEDs has been used commonly.
Asking for help to another (not panicked) person is a brilliant advise.
It is always easier to fix other people's gear!

Very interesting. Which model strobes do you have?
@@Wetpixel-Live Retra Pro, Inon S2000

Just faced trouble for the first time with my strobes. Great advice.
Glad it helped
Awesome tips
Glad you think so!
