Hassy Flexbody with CFV39

[paulla]

Hiya,

Are there any special cables needed to operate a Hasselblad Flexbody with a CFV39 digital back? I shoot with the CFV in the studio tethered, so I am familiar with the cable needed to synch. There is not much info out there on the web.

Thanks in advance,

Paul

I use a CFV50c back with a Flexbody and have it tethered to a Macbook.  I think the CFV39 uses the same cables as the CFV50c, i.e.

- Firewire 800 cable to connect the digital back to the Macbook (via Firewire->Thunderbolt->USBc adapter)
- Flash sync cable (2.5mm male connector) between lens and Flash input port on the digital back
- 3.5mm male to male stereo aux cable to connect a Broncolor RFS transmitter (digital back Flash output port to Transmitter input port)

Okay, so nothing special! I usually don't go from the lens to the CFV, and then the CFV to TX. But I know I can, and have in the past with one particular lens. Thanks for the feedback, and oh, one last question, any issues with live view while tethered?

any issues with live view while tethered?

I don't seem to have any issues with live-view when tethered.
