Hello, just tried to revive this old thread for someone who might need information

@daveco2: The meikon a7ii/a7rii housing have nikonos 5-pin type bulkhead connector, but it's only filled with 3 pin (for ground/trigger contact/ready) thus it can't be used for TTL. The only way I know to have TTL in this housing is to use s-Turtle mobie TTL trigger (optical) and you need to replace the bulkhead with THIS, which I think have a same size (M14).

You're right, Guzy.  I'm just about ready to add that fitting (or one similar from UW-Technics) to the front of the case where the logo sits so I can retain both wired trigger and get fiberoptic TTL as sell.

Turtle shows a method of converting their TTL from fiberoptic to wired, and I could replace the nikonos type with one for TTL, but I don't have the pinouts for the Meikon strobe and am worried about blowing it out.
