"How do I properly maintain flash sockets and cables?"
Only perfectly maintained electrical connections work flawlessly and reliably. Therefore control the flash sockets and cables regularly and make sure the O-rings are in perfect condition. Make sure the contacts are dry and if necessary treat the O-rings with a little grease. With the lubricant supplied by us you can also treat the gold plated contacts as well as the threads. From time to time clean the sockets by submitting them to a blow of pressurized air. Should water ever enter the sockets, rinse these thoroughly with fresh water and treat them as outlined above.
