Each strobe requires an individual RC2 TTL Receiver along with a compatible fiber optic cord. If you're using two strobes, you'll need two receivers. This product is designed to attach to an Ikelite DS strobe. It's important to note that it's not intended for attachment to a housing, and it won't function if connected to a housing bulkhead. Additionally, this receiver is only compatible with Ikelite strobes and specifically digital models. For more details on housing and strobe compatibility, please refer to the information provided below.

Manual Strobe Exposure
You can adjust the strobe's output using the manual power settings available (which may vary by model). Ensure that the camera's flash mode is set to manual. Select the minimum flash output required on the camera to trigger the DS strobe. This helps preserve the camera's battery power.
