I have recently had a pair of radio triggers (Aputure brand) said to
be compatible with Pentax cameras.
Their declared that the synch speed is (up to) 1/250 second.
They seem to synch properly at only 1/60 second on both K20D and K5.
The units are also compatible with Canon cameras so I expect their
support for Pentax may only be partial...
TTL / P-TTL is not supported.
This low speed makes them of little use.
I am still not sure if there is something I could try to make them
synch at a higher speed.
Any experiences? Any ideas?
Googled "Aputure Radio Trigger". The first hit is for Aputure Trigmaster
on Amazon.
That appears to be another variation on the "cheap Chinese radio-slave",
one that can also function as a remote camera shutter release. It should
trip the strobes up to whatever sync speed the camera fires the hot-shoe.
I don't see how P-TTL could work unless it was a two-way link where the
receiver module relayed data from the extra pins on the strobe foot back
to the transmitter module mounted on the hot-shoe. I just don't think
you're going to find that in a $39.95 remote trigger.
But it should trip the flash up to whatever the sync speed of the camera.
