Glenn:
 
I have replicated your problem with high speed motor drive issues.  We are looking into the problem.  Your 608xxxx unit is a Plus 2.0.  Your 609xxxx unit is a Plus 2.1 unit.  They should not have the issue you describe, so we are working on a correction.
 
As far as Transmit Only mode, the following should help:
 
PLUS 2.0 Normal blink rate – 1 blink every 2 seconds
 
PLUS 2.0 TX Only blink rate – 1 blink every 1 second
 
PLUS 2.1 Normal blink rate – 1 blink every 3.5 seconds
 
PLUS 2.1 TX Only blink rate – 1 blink every 1.75 seconds
 
 
I apologize for that confusion.
 
Take care,

Al-Cheapo Wireless

Got myself an al-cheapo made in china wireless flash trigger for a shoot last weekend. It does the job 🙂 but I’m still itching for  a PocketWizard!!  This is a “V2” version (PT-04TM), which resolve issues that the previous version of the product had with certain Canon Speedlite flash units.

It’s HERE!

My long awaited Jawbone is finally here 🙂 The military-grade noise-canceling technology is awesome!!! – even when faced with loud, thumping music

Digital Hygrometer

A small & useful device to measure humidity and temperature inside the dry cabinet or air tight dry box. It is more accurate compared to the analog version.

Bought mine from DigiColor (Mutiara Complex, Jalan Ipoh) or order online from shashinki.com (free shipping)
