I have just noticed that my Alpa Sync Release, which did not originally work with my IQ180, is now working perfectly. I loaded the latest firmware v1.47 a few days ago, so I am guessing that Phase have adjusted the wake-up timing on the back to be more in line with the P65+, which the Sync release works perfectly on.
As I have mentioned before, this little device is a very elegant solution to the wake-up issue with Phase backs.
Sure, we now have zero shutter latency, but using this mode generates a lot of heat, which in turn translates to noise, and also eats batteries. I prefer to use normal latency and a wake-up solution such as the Alpa Sync Release as this avoids both these problems.
I'm off to Iraq to take pictures for a few days, so I'll report on its performance after that.
Cheers,
