XT2 and a Monolight

[tshrtkng]

Someone I know got a Flashpoint TTL Monolight - The one with the self-contained battery to add to his Nikon System.

Note these are sold as NIKON, CANON or SONY in TTL and include a Trigger in the kit.

 

Im wondering if anyone has tried a XT1 or XT2 with a Moonlight like this?

If so will the Nikon Unit work on my Fuji and maintain  TTL?

If you have tried this what kind of results are you getting?

 

THANKS!

From what I have read about TTL cords, most people say that the Fuji hot shoe is most like Canon and recommend buying a Canon TTL lead, you could maybe extrapolate from that that the best option is to get the Canon Moonlight, however I would try before you buy/order from an online store with a good returns policy as that will be the only way to be sure. I am not sure that wireless TTL will work with Fuji, no one has managed it yet, the closest are cactus who say its coming in there next firmware.

 

That is another altenative by the way for the cost of that light you could buy 3x Cactuc RF60's which would give you the same guide number if you mounted them together, and will give you remote wirless TTL triggering in the next update. Plus you woudl also have a smaller 3 light set up as well

 

Just thinking outside the box, obviously if you need 3 monologhts, then 9 Cactus's might be overkill
