Sync Transmitter Housing
Compatible with entire range of Sport Housings

Thank you for purchasing this AquaTech SYNC
Transmitter Housing.
Overview:
The SYNC Transmitter Housing is a compact and easy to
use housing that supports a range of flash transmitters.
Wirelessly connect your camera to one or multiple
professional strobes, or even speedlights to create a
range of lighting eects that capture your unique vision.
The simple design of the SYNC connects to your water
housing via our 6 Pin SYNC cable system and has the
ability to support TTL modes and Hi-Speed SYNC (for
Canon and Nikon only). 6 Pin SYNC cables are available
in a range of sizes up to 30ft, so you can float your
SYNC to the surface to continue to transmit the radio
signal even if you’re well below the surface.
An amazing feature of the SYNC Transmitter Housing
is the option to have the SYNC wirelessly control the
LUX Flash Housing when using a Godox transmitter.
This opens up a world of new options for wireless o-
camera flash in the water with full TTL and HSS (for
Canon and Nikon only).
The SYNC is easily secured with 2 thumbscrews to
provide an even seal across the clear backplate. As
the SYNC is able to support multiple brands with it’s
control-free design, the exposure control for your lights
can either be performed in camera or on the light itself.
The SYNC features a new quick-cam mount that
connects to the supplied Pro Mount V3 without the
need for any additional tools. Easily interchange your
SYNC Transmitter Housing with an action camera on
the Pro Mount V3 when lighting is not required.
Please read the following instructions and care tips be-
fore using your SYNC Transmitter Housing for the first
time. You can also visit our website and YouTube chan-
nel for more tips and information.
