Ive just realised that it is 25 years since I designed the flashgun slave unit that became the basis of the Firefly 2 and 3. Where does the time go? I used to sell kits of parts, but I stopped, as it was time-consuming to make the kits. However... Im thinking vaguely of starting up again or, at least, selling the printed circuit board and some of the less-easy-to-find components. But Im a bit out of touch with cave photography now and Im wondering, does anyone still use optical flashgun slaves, or it is all radio-based slaves now?
If there is a demand I might - just might - decide to do a few upgrades that are on my list of things to do, and to make available the re-engineered design(s). Im thinking of a suite of items actually - the original slave unit, the digital camera version, plus a flashgun isolator and a bulb firer.
So... Im just wondering - is there still a demand for these items or have people moved on to using other products?
