AquaTech AQSYNCUHC Sync Transmitter Housing Instruction Manual
Compatible with entire range of Sport Housings
Thank you for purchasing this AquaTech SYNC Transmitter Housing.
Overview:
The SYNC Transmitter Housing is a compact and easy to use housing that supports a range of flash transmitters. Wirelessly connect your camera to one or multiple professional strobes, or even speedlights to create a range of lighting effects that capture your unique vision. The simple design of the SYNC connects to your water housing via our 6 Pin SYNC cable system and has the ability to support TTL modes and Hi-Speed SYNC (for Canon and Nikon only). 6 Pin SYNC cables are available in a range of sizes up to 30ft, so you can float your SYNC to the surface to continue to transmit the radio signal even if you’re well below the surface.
An amazing feature of the SYNC Transmitter Housing is the option to have the SYNC wirelessly control the LUX Flash Housing when using a Godox transmitter. This opens up a world of new options for wireless off camera flash in the water with full TTL and HSS (for Canon and Nikon only).
The SYNC is easily secured with 2 thumbscrews to provide an even seal across the clear backplate. As the SYNC is able to support multiple brands with it’s control-free design, the exposure control for your lights can either be performed in camera or on the light itself.
The SYNC features a new quick-cam mount that connects to the supplied Pro Mount V3 without the need for any additional tools. Easily interchange your SYNC Transmitter Housing with an action camera on the Pro Mount V3 when lighting is not required.
Please read the following instructions and care tips before using your SYNC Transmitter Housing for the first time. You can also visit our website and YouTube channel for more tips and information.

**After installing the provided additional Flash Bulkhead onto your Sport Housing, please make certain it is installed correctly by doing a “dunk” test (without your camera installed). If there is any moisture or water present after the “dunk” test is performed, please contact AquaTech via contact@aquatech.net so we can assist you with the reinstall of the Sport Housing Flash Bulkhead. Note: when not using your Sync Transmitter Housing, the supplied Flash Bulkhead cap must be replaced. This Bulkhead is a “dry connector’ and must never be exposed to water. Either the sync cable or the cap must be on the Bulkhead at all times. This is very important to recap the Bulkhead on your Sport Housing if a Sync cable is not installed.
