- i have a bunch of sunpak 5xx hammerhead flashes that i almost throw them away. here is how i end up making them useful again for location shooting without portable batteries and the pricey strobes. you should be able to get these flashes for $20 or less on ebay or craigslist
You are using audio cables. There can be issues doing so. Get mono ones instead
I have two of those
I have 2 of these and I need adapters im glad those are working for you
What adapters are you about?
Do you still have any sunk 544's.?
that is sunpak 544's
yep, i have 4 of these hammerheads. 3 of them are 544's and 1 is 522.
@@chuckarelei Flash Zebra is a company that carries cords and adapters that keep these fine old flashes going .
@@joeblack7660 i'm good now. it does what i want it to do in an inexpensive way.
These flashes as well as the Quantum QFlashes, Metz & Vivitar 283/285/285HV flashes are from ATG.
They are actually better than many today TTL flashes.
yep, my 522 has to be close to 30 years old. it still popping and flashing fine with no problem.
@@chuckarelei ATG last models were the 555 and 622. The 622 wasn't a good seller to female photographers due to the weight of the 4 C batteries. We use the 622 & QFlash (ATG) with ATG IR & UV filters on these lights
The Sunpak 622 Pro Complete Set [with ATG (IR & UV) heads] are rare & sold most to armed services & laws.
Once in a awhile you need to fire the flash in 1/1 power to refresh/wake up the capacitor.
@@angelisone i had a 622 and sold it. it was too big and clunky. plus it wasn't interchangeable handle with my four 5xx.
