I bought some of these NW985N flashguns looking to use them for stroboscopic shots, moving rugby ball, multiple exposure of a dancer dancing type thing.
I planned to trigger 3 of them from my camera using neweer fcr-16 triggers
I've used the flashgun for other shots and I'm quite happy with normal performance and how easy the menu system is to get what I need in manual
Trying the stroboscopic shots I can only get one flash from the gun through a trigger. I thought if I set it up for a 1 second exposure with the gun on multi at 10Hz and 10 flashes then I'd have 10 pulses on the one exposure. When I put it in the hotshoe that's what I get but I was hoping for off camera.
The closest I get to is setting up with a pc sync cord plugged in and doing Continuous High shooting with the flash in manual power and I get the pulses but it would mean blending in PP- not the end of the world and I'd be able to use the multiple flashes I was expecting but seems a bit strange that the flash needs to be on camera to be stroboscopic.
Any thoughts or advice on this or what I could try to get the strobe effect with a trigger?
