DIY - Make your own fiber optic cable for your underwater flash - works with S&S YS-D2 flash

[TI1976]

This is a DIY video about building your custom lenght fiber cabel to your flash. This cabel also work with the nauticam flash trigger. Nauticam tells on their site that the Sea & Sea YS-D2 is not compatible with their trigger. Here is a work around.
Hopefully nauticam and Sea & Sea send me a thanks

Thanks! Since my cable fell apart, I was thinking to try smth like this. This is encouraging.

It is easy, assuming a thinner cable also can be used. It will also be more flexible. Use a razor blade to cut it straight.

I use a standard TOSLINK audio cable and it works too.

Could you provide a link directing me to a suitable L adaptor for the ends of the cable?

I just used 2 old broken S&S cable`s, and drilled a hole in. Earlier i considered this Howshot Fiber Adapter L for Sea&Sea YS strobes- This fiber adapter L is for Sea&Sea YS style connector. , but i`m not sure how big cable this can handle and i don't want the 90 degree angle this adapter creates.
