MultiMAX Operating Essentials

Speedcycler Mode

If speed and power are what you need, the SpeedCycler mode is a big help for you. It provides sequential triggering for up to 4 cameras or 4 electronic flash units. The SpeedCycler mode is ideal for multi-angle camera shots or reducing recycle time by triggering the next flash in line, while the previous flash is recycling. It's great for faster motor driven flash photography assignments. The SpeedCycler mode is also a big help for on-location shoots with battery-powered electronic flash units.

With 4 MultiMAX Transceivers connected to 4 camera's (via the motor drive port), wireless triggering of up to 4 cameras can be sequentially fired, effectively quadrupling frames per second.

   
Select a channel between 17 ~ 32 on a MultiMAX (set for TRANSMIT mode).

Connect the MultiMAX to a camera via the included PC cord or mount on the camera hot shoe.

   
       
Using another MultiMAX ( set for RECEIVE MODE) at the same channel, connect the MultiMAX to a flash unit (or multiple units in the same Quad-Triggering Zone). Each MultiMAX (set for RECEIVE mode) should be set to a different Quad-Triggering Zone.

Press the TEST button to trigger Quad-Triggering Zone A.
Press again to trigger Zone B.
Press again to trigger Zone C.
Press again to trigger Zone D.

Note that the arrow on the display moves ("cycles") consecutively from one zone to the next each time the MultiMAX Transmits a signal to trigger.

NOTE: L (local flash) is not cycled and if activated will fire at every trigger. Use only if local flash has a fast recycle time that can keep up with your intended frames per second setting.
