I have a Sealife Eco and recent purchased a PX-21 strobe and fiber optic cable.
I would like to know if anyone out there has ever set up a PX-21 strobe with the Pixtreme fiber optic cable?
I bought the cable but neither the strobe nor the cable come with any sort of instructions.
I can probably Jerry rig it to work but would rather set it up correctly.
 
Yes, I've set up a dual PX-21 on my Fuji F-700
The self stick Velcro tab gets applied to your camera housing in front of were the strobe is
the mating Velcro can be slapped on there or removed as needed.
The side with the exposed fiber goes into the small whole in the front of the Strobes housing. I found it useful to string it through the loop of the housing first.
Also a small dab of clear RTV on the cable and housing may help retain the cable in the whole.
Setting the Strobe is per it's instructions with your cameras strobe set to fire take 3 picture of the strobe with it on facing the camera each with a different setting on the strobe sync switch. The picture that is just flash that you can not see the strobe is the correct setting for that camera.
In the attached picture the Cable came out of the whole but the bottom strobe shows where the cable inserts.
