Andre Labonte Offline Image Upload: Off Phottix Cleon from HKSupply I ordered one for my D300 about two weeks ago and it came in today. While I ordered the N8 version (10-pin Nikon) and the box was labled as the N8 version, it had the N6 version (D70/D80) inside! I wrote HKS and e-mail and am waiting for an answere. They seem to have an excellent rating on E-Bay and their policy is to please. Even the best vendors make mistakes sometimes. I'll keep you all posted on how this turns out. Mar 27, 2008 at 06:03 PM

binary visions Offline Image Upload: Off Phottix Cleon from HKSupply Good luck. There have been several threads on DPReview and the consensus seems to be that their customer service is barely mediocre at best, and a right pain in the butt at worst. I just got the N8 Cleon in the mail for my D300 and after reading all the problem threads, am very happy that it seems to work exactly as expected with none of the quirky problems that others experienced. It is a pretty cool device. Hope it all works out for you. Mar 27, 2008 at 07:09 PM

Andre Labonte Offline Image Upload: Off Phottix Cleon from HKSupply Thanks, I hope this works out too. If I knew which wires were which, I could change the connector myself. Hmmmm, that gives me an idea .... Mar 28, 2008 at 12:48 AM

Can be even longer for some contries other than the US. Italy can take up to 6 weeks according to the ad. Mar 28, 2008 at 11:25 AM

Andre Labonte Offline Image Upload: Off Phottix Cleon from HKSupply Well, I got an from their customer service. They said I can do one of two things: 1) Keep the N6 version for $15 and they will send me a complete N8 set at no cost 2) Send back just the N6 reciever and they will send me an N8 reciever at no cost. Hey, I have a D70s, so why not! I went with option #1. We'll see how this one turns out. I'll keep you posted. Mar 28, 2008 at 11:29 AM

PaulC Offline Image Upload: Off Phottix Cleon from HKSupply In all my dealings with HKsupply, I'd give them an excellent rating. I purchased my sb-800 and 50/1.4 from them. Mar 28, 2008 at 05:10 PM

zilmer Offline Image Upload: Off Phottix Cleon from HKSupply Andre, I had the exact same experience. Since I also own a D80 I did as you. But I can not get the N6 to work with my D80 ... did you do anything special with your D70 to get the N6 working (change settings on camera ?) Cheers, Alex Zilmer May 17, 2008 at 09:38 AM

Jack White Offline Image Upload: On Phottix Cleon from HKSupply I got one for the D300 and I must have got lucky because it got here in two weeks. Works pretty well, haven't tested the limits of distance yet May 17, 2008 at 10:35 AM

Cheers, Alex Zilmer No, the N6 is designed to work with the D70s. I'm not sure what the connector on the D80 is like, but I think it has the same ports as the D70s. Make sure the batteries are in, the channels are identical and you have the right switch settings. May 17, 2008 at 11:52 AM

mark petri Offline Image Upload: On Phottix Cleon from HKSupply I never received mine after they strung me along with a few months... Seems most get theirs, but I would warn against hksupply. May 18, 2008 at 03:45 AM

zilmer Offline Image Upload: Off Phottix Cleon from HKSupply The port fits perfectly, the red LED lights up ... but no picture is taken by the D80 :-( May 19, 2008 at 07:00 AM
