I promise this will be my last water filled balloon shot
Different technique, Black board placed in the bath D300 looking down, sound trigger very close (there wasn't much sound to trigger flash) dropped balloon.

Messy idea for a contact trigger job.

Thanks Don - I hoped it wasn't - I now have air rifle set up in cellar and am integrating the IR trigger which so far is proving tricky.

Andy,
I guess an IR trigger has got to be very sensitive to register movement of something as small and fast as a pellet. May be worth starting by dropping a larger target ie grape through the beam to get some idea first. This gives the beam a slow large target to focus on. Objects can then be reduced in size so you can determine the sensitivity limits of the IR trigger.

My idea does not involve a pellet gun but I think would have been able to work on Lello's balloon as that could have been by impact trigger.

If the Vivitars fastest speed 1/30,000 is not fast enough I will have to do a job on the SC-17 contacts so I can get up to the 1/64,000 best with the SB80-DX.

I got a bit to fancy for my own good last time I tried this, so going to try something a lot easier this time.

Don

First try at this one.

I'll clean up the mess then try to extend the delay a bit.
