Hi folks,

Just wondered if anyone had any experience with this setup? I'm using a GX7, but I guess I'll take any experiences if people have them? Not sure if I'm doing anything wrong, but when I pop the Skyport on the GX7 and set it to 1/250 (or lower) the flashes don't fire.

Any ideas, thoughts appreciated, cheers

It seems that the Skyport does not work with the Panasonic hotshoes directly. But it works on the GH3 and GH4, because they have this flash-sync-socket and you connect the short cable (that comes with the Skyport Speed) to this socket. But unfortunately the GX7, G6, GH2 do not have it, so they need some sort of adapter.
