Triggertrap Flash Adapter Manual  |  Page 9

The flash keeps firing in quick succession and 
ruining my photos

1. 

First of all, check the settings on your flash unit. 
Are you in manual mode? Make sure you have 
turned off any presets that might allow your flash 
unit to strobe like this.

2. 

Check the threshold in the sensor mode you are 
using in Triggertrap Mobile. Is the threshold set too 
low, meaning that the sound level remains over the 
threshold for too long?

3. 

Go into Settings in Triggertrap Mobile and select a 
Sensor Reset Delay of about five seconds.

4. 

If none of the above seem to have helped, send us 
an email on

The flash won’t fire at all!

  

 1. 

    Turn on your flash and press the ‘test’ button -  

 

does the flash go off?

  

 2. 

    Do NOT use the Triggertrap Mobile Dongle

 

for this test: Connect your flash to the

 

Triggertrap Flash Adapter, and connect the cable  

 

to the Flash Adapter. Now, please short-circuit  

 

the side of the cable that you usually plug into  

 

the Triggertrap Flash Adapter, using some

 

aluminium foil. Does that trigger the flash?

  

 3. 

  Presuming step 1 and 2 resulted in your flash

 

triggering correctly - have you tried your dongle  

 

with your camera? Does that work?

   

4. 

  If none of the above work, send us an email to

 and we’ll help you out!
