Re: a7RII+Meikon Case+ST-100 Strobe

A few more notes:

The ST-100 has a nice feature in the flashlight mode that helps in pointing it.

I can't get the strobe pin-outs so hooking up the Turtle sync cable for TTL would be risky.  Besides, the 5-pin Sea&Sea cable from Meikon a7RII case has only two connections and Turtle specifies three, which means I would have to buy connectors and make my own cable.

Turtle sells a fiber optic bulkhead adapter that would solve the interface problem, but I can't get the dimensions from Turtle to determine if it would fit in the clear space I have on the Meikon case.  I've given up this approach.

Vivid Housings makes a vacuum bulkhead adapter for a pump test port, but its questionable if a flat spot on the case is large enough.

The ball adapter I received with the strobe was not seated in the box, rather it was thrown in.  If the adapter is missing, I would suspect that the shipping person just forgot to reach over to the parts bin.  If the strobe description mentioned a ball adapter, and it was not included, I would ask for it.  Why not?
