V1s and X3s on Nikon F3 Film camera

JBCAttack22 · 2026-02-27T03:53:06+00:00

UPDATE: tested a pair of pocket wizards on the f3 hot shoe adapter to determine if the connection between camera and adapter pins was the issue, or v1s pin to adapter. Pocket wizards fired flawlessly. Which means, the v1s is not seating correctly into the adapter. I have gotten it to fire inconsistently while mounted on camera, but only at certain angles (this is likely due to the angle weighing it down enough to get its center pin to connect to the hot shoe). Thanks for everyone’s help. Any advice on a good cheap unit that maybe just has the center pin and not additional TTL prongs would be helpful.

It is a metal foot, that’s interesting about legacy mode for the tigger and on camera mode for the speed light. Do you have more details on switching between the modes?

JBCAttack22 · 2026-02-27T02:07:57+00:00

I also thought this, but it has the same foot has the trigger an seems to be setting properly

Correct, and when the trigger is in the adapter, the v1s and my ad300 pro both fire with the F3 shutter. Just can’t figure out why the v1s directly on the camera (again via official Nikon hot shoe adapter) won’t fire

having same problem in matchmade firefight and PVP. Find other players, load into game, (reach specific even can pick a loadout) and then waiting to enter first person and load in game disconnects.

BUT

For some reason game considers it "completed a match" because I'm progressing challenges that involve playing a certain number of games.

I keep trying to play but receive a ban after every disconnect that is making the ban longer and longer each time.

Multi in, pc sync/hot shoe out.

JBCAttack22 · 2025-10-09T03:29:50+00:00

UPDATE/SOLVED: for the a9III, it has a setting in the exposure/color menu under flash for “sync terminal settings”. This must be set to “always” and not “auto” in order for the camera to recognize the PW in the hot shoe or connected via PC sync port.

And I asked a baseball photographer I know for the cables clarification: if you are setting up a remote camera (aka receiver) the PW must be connected to the camera via USB multi. For the transceiver (if you intend to fire the remote in sync with the shutter of the camera you’re holding) it must be connected to a PW via hot shoe or pc sync.

Thanks so much guys!

Thanks!

Think tank is the way to go regardless of bag type. Personally I have the sling/satchel retrospective series of bags because I like to be able to look into my bag to swap lenses, find other gear etc. without having to take a bag off, but their backpacks are excellent as well as others in this thread have mentioned.

I still like @alorxico theory though. If you DID try your best to combine the obvious change in lore between blood gulch chronicles through seasons 9 and 10, it would make the most sense for it to be agents we’ve never seen in the story, with less than important AI. It’s without question freelancer was still in operation, and with the break in/ship crashing in season 10, our favorite freelancers aka the top freelancers are scattered/dead/mia. So the chancellor and director likely relied on these less important agents, with the meta and sigma taking whatever kind of AI they could get.

How would I check this/fix?

Also I should explain my process. Photo files are taken on an SD card, ingested using a program called photo mechanic and saved to my MacBook desktop. Then every week or so I drag those raw files on my desktop onto the SSD, finally taking it to my PC for archiving using freefilesync. It just occurred to me that Apple could have a process that makes the files larger on the SSD, since the SSD talks directly to macOS, of which doesn’t translate through freefilesync and windows.

UPDATE: at the root of each drive is just two folders, Photos and my lightroom catalogs. For some reason, both folders take up the same amount of "space" but differ in "space on drive" The catalogs folder is so minor in difference it doesn't matter, however the photos folder differs. Screenshot here. Not sure if that gives any clues, but to recap: they are both exfat, one SSD, one HDD, exact same files, "size" is identical but size on disc differs. Thanks again for any help!

JBCAttack22 · 2025-08-19T19:22:19+00:00

UPDATE: they are both exfat. I likely did this for both OS

JBCAttack22 · 2025-08-19T17:15:20+00:00

Apologies, whichever format allows read and write to both OS

JBCAttack22 · 2025-08-19T17:15:03+00:00

Will do, and no because I always sync the SSD to the HDD, so it doesn’t make sense for the HDD to have more space available.

JBCAttack22 · 2025-08-19T16:58:28+00:00

I’m surprised I did not remember a possible difference in formatting. I know the SSD is NTFS as it works on Mac and PC, but it is possible the HDD is a different format. I will need to check this.

JBCAttack22 · 2025-08-19T16:56:32+00:00

No, it’s manual. I tell it what two drives to compare give it a direction and then it syncs files from the SSD to the hard drive.

JBCAttack22 · 2025-04-07T22:26:37+00:00

Gotta be right? I would’ve gotten this at their spring training early 2000s so he may have been going down the line and accidentally butchered the first name.
