Step 4: Mounting the Receiver Step 2: Setting Up the Transmitter
There are many ways you can
mount your PowerSync Receiver to
your ash unit. Attach an adhesive-
backed accessory shoe to your
ash and the shoe-to-1/4˝-20
adapter to your Receiver. Or use the
Receiver’s 1/4˝-20 female threads to
mount the Receiver to a light stand
or mounting arm. You can also
thread a lanyard through the
lanyard hole and hang the Receiver
from a light stand, ash handle, or
anywhere else convenient.
The PowerSync’s effective range depends on the orientation and position of the
Transmitter and Receiver. Reception can be affected by large metal or concrete
objects and by bodies of water. Moving one or both devices a few feet is often
enough to solve a reception problem.
There are two methods to connect
the Transmitter to your camera:
Hot-shoe mount
One method is to afx the
Transmitter to the hot shoe of your
camera. Slide the Transmitter into
the hot shoe. The test button should
be at the back, the same side as the
viewnder. Tighten the lock wheel.
Sync cable
The other method is to connect the
supplied sub-mini (2.5mm) phone
jack to the Transmitter, located on
the side of the unit, then plug the
other end of the cord into the PC
connection on the camera.
If your camera doesn’t have a PC
jack, Impact makes sync cables
with other plug types and in a
variety of lengths. See the
Accessories pages toward the back
of this manual or check out the
selection on our website.

If mounting to a ash unit,
it’s best to place the Receiver
so its antenna clears the top of
the ash and is in direct sight
of the Transmitter.
