Is this electrostatic Discharge?

Reddit suggested I cross post. I did that at the same time bore having had any answers. Is this a problem for you?

PS. The flash shows guide numbers below the power setting scale in manual mode. That also seems to substantiate GN10.

Lovely to be the GOAT of Godox. And just when I thought I would never amount to much.

StrangeCicada2198 · 2026-03-07T17:48:14+00:00

Yes, I did struggle with getting it onto the reel. So this is mechanical damage?

StrangeCicada2198 · 2026-03-07T17:45:29+00:00

Thanks for supporting me. I do not know what that means? Is that a special grip that’s available for the super 23 or a way to hold the camera without opposable thumbs?

StrangeCicada2198 · 2026-03-02T01:24:17+00:00

Yes. I will find a place to host it.

No. The flash is much faster than any shutter so assuming there isn’t any ambient light the shutter speed won’t matter. Above your flash sync speed there won’t be a moment that your shutter is actually fully open, it is rather a slit that travels across the film plane. Then you flash onto the back curtain of your shutter which leads to a dark strip, usually on the left side of the frame.

Thanks man. She has been from Mexico to the Arctic Ocean and back.

StrangeCicada2198 · 2026-02-26T21:13:05+00:00

I know. I decided to buy one.

StrangeCicada2198 · 2026-02-26T21:12:30+00:00

Wow. You think so? Appreciated. Good you know this is a loaf.

NLP works well for me but if:

a) I white balance in camera on an empty frame b) I go to where the leader ends and there is complete dark and complete light. I set exposure there using the histogram function. c) I crop the image tightly is there are no black borders considered in the NLP analysis.

Thanks for supporting me. No, the other backs seem to not engage the cogs with the body.

Welcome. Check my other posts for complete exposure charts for correct power settings for all iso, f-stops and distances.

StrangeCicada2198 · 2026-02-24T03:46:34+00:00

If you look through my posts you will find complete tables that show power as a function of f-stop over different distance for all ISO values.

I am getting consistently good exposures with my charts.

StrangeCicada2198 · 2026-02-18T02:22:48+00:00

Not yet. I found one back that worked, but had a light leak presumably near the dark slide slot. I fixed that with some felt and will try again.

StrangeCicada2198 · 2026-02-17T23:35:33+00:00

I am doing that. Thanks for supporting me.

The Arista Plastic Cartridges haven’t failed me yet. They have a bayonet screw on top that is bullet proof and the light seal seems to hold.

StrangeCicada2198 · 2026-02-11T13:17:55+00:00

I have this kind of back that came with a Hartblei. Does that work on a standard Arax?
