My Sb600 works prefectly. But I done other thing. As you can see – near hot shoe you have two contacts. It’s for external autofocus adapter. I don’t have it and don’t know who use it. I connect it to + and – from battery pack and now I have sb600 without any additional wires.When need – I connect it )

Very strange that it is not possible to buy original or third party AC adapters even for the flashes that have an external power connector. So I guess I’ll have to do your trick on my nissin di866 to. Thanks for describing this.

How fast is the recycle time. Shooting sports at 5 FPS. Can this set up keep up with that many exospores? Thanks

This adapter has a chip that modulates DC output, so it should be relatively safe so long as the switch doesn’t get flipped to 12V :) A cheap and easy solution would be to glue gun it in place. The voltage was very constant when measured.

That unregulated power supply is a real risk. If you measured the voltage output you could be in for a nasty surprise. You can’t rely on the labeled voltage on those cheap supplies and I’ve often seen the real output be double what’s printed. The voltage also swings wildly depending on the current draw and it’s easy to accidentally move the switch. If you can find a regulated supply in the range of 4.8-6.0 volts you will be much better off. One good and very low cost source would be the supply that’s included with a USB hub. Otherwise, we’ll be looking forward to that post-mortem report you promised. ;-)

I’ve done that with other devices, it takes a bit more time to get them to fit just right. This terminal was very accessible so I gave it a go.
