I cleaned the battery compartment but, unfortunately, I noticed that the black wire (the ground, I suppose) was unattached. The problem is that I don't know where the wire should attach to. Can you tell me where the black wire should be soldered on this flash? My email is rjdefrancisco [at] gmail.com.<br /><br />Thanks!Rufo De Franciscohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15992327269400276196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1616739879621571209.post-19228832983957786302013-12-16T03:52:45.493-06:002013-12-16T03:52:45.493-06:00Hi Boris, this project is really impressive.

From my personal view it should not be enough flash power to get correct exposure. The M3 bulbs are similar to my Jinbei DC1200 Porty with 1200Ws output… are the pictures correct exposed with this small flash?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13208732626527786825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1616739879621571209.post-88300068212230595312013-09-18T22:45:24.616-05:002013-09-18T22:45:24.616-05:00I am sorry, I can't tell which wire is which, ...I am sorry, I can't tell which wire is which, it all depends on the particular camera you are using.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07413944805500549601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1616739879621571209.post-56012891715124526752013-09-14T11:38:10.249-05:002013-09-14T11:38:10.249-05:00Hey Boris.
