VB-11 User Manual

Triggering the Flash

There are ve different ways to trigger the Bolt VB-11 and VB-22 ash units:

1. Hot Shoe: The ashes can be triggered by any standard hot shoe, such as a camera, off-camera cord or

radio receiver.

2. PC Cord: A PC sync socket can be attached to the ash units to trigger the ash. To use this function,

open the rubber cover on the PC sync socket and insert a PC cord.

3. 3.5 mm Mini Cable: The ash can also be triggered by using a 3.5 mm mini cable ash sync cord.

Simply open the rubber covering on the ash’s sync jack, insert one end into the jack and the other end

into a ash triggering device.

4. Optical Slave: Both ashes can be used as wireless slave units in single or multiple ash congurations.

To use the slave mode, see the

Optical Slave Triggering Mode

section of this manual on page 21.

5. Dedicated Remote Control: A dedicated remote control, such as the Impact ControlSync 16 Transmitter

and Receiver (sold separately), can control triggering, adjust power levels, and turn the AF-Assist and

Audio modes on and off. To use the remote, plug the dedicated receiver into the wireless control port on

the side of the ash.
