Introducing the Phottix Odin II TTL Flash Trigger The transmitters will cost £160, while receivers will be £125.įor more information visit the Phottix website. The Canon and Nikon models will be available first, with those for Sony cameras arriving in late April. The company says that new firmware will be released for the Mitros and Indra flash units to make them compatible with the new features. Radio also works better when shooting outside in bright conditions. Photographers using Canon, Nikon or Sony branded flash units can use their hotshoe flash units with an Odin receiver to take advantage of the better range and connection of radio transmission over the line-of-sight systems camera brands tend to produce. The Odin system is divided into transmitters and receivers, and Phottix’s own flash units have the receivers built-in. The new models also add an AF assist lamp, 10 new custom functions and digital ID for channels 5 to 32 to ensure the correct units are communicating. The Odin system, which is compatible with Nikon, Canon and Sony cameras can be used with the company’s battery-powered Indra 500 and 300 portable studio flash heads, as well as the company’s Mitros hotshoe flash units. The Odin II units, which allow wireless TTL control of hotshoe and portable studio flash units, will add two extra control groups and 28 additional channels to the radio trigger’s reach, and will make the user interface easier to handle. VOILA!!! IT WORKS!!! HAHAHA…don’t know why, or how but at this point, I don’t care cuz it’s working, YAY! If you’re pretty much in the same boat as I was, give it try, it’s just a setting, you can always change it back.Flash and accessory manufacturer Phottix has released details of the second generation of Odin flash controllers that will go on sale mid-February. However, I was thinking…ya maybe its a language barrier or I just interpreted it wrong, so I switched mine on. But then it’s such a hassle and I do so love my Phottix gear.Īnyways, as written on the Phottix page, it seems you need to turn the 1d to off…That didn’t work for me. So I’m thinking about it because if I can get a fair price for my phottix gear, I can get a bigger (more stuff) Godox system. ![]() They are cheaper than Phottix in price and the seems more versatile. Phottix won…It seems Godox (to me) is getting there in terms of quality. Also I went to a Godox sales pitch thing regarding their new line of strobist gear…The gear and tech put me in the mindset where I was at when I contemplated the change from Canon to Phottix. So after months, more like a year of just using my flashes in Manual mode and finding it a paint to keep pushing the buttons on the Odin TCU, I decided to try and fix my odin’s. Voila! over exposures when off camera (3 different flashes) in ETTL mode. Then if you’ll notice the lighter font section near the bottom “ Update 08/8/13:” I followed that. ![]() I updated the firmware on the Odin, here’s the page to get the firmware: If you’re experiencing over exposures in ETTL mode when using the Phottix Odin TCU and Mitros and or Mitros+ flashes OFF CAMERA, join the club!!! Here’s how I fixed it.
