New: v1.14 Firmware for Odin for Sony

The Phottix Odin TTL Flash Trigger for Sony has new firmware. v1.14 offers the following changes:

  • Modified the issue that when used on A99, flash can’t be triggered after adjusting ISO
    through a cycle.
  • Modified the issue that when used on A57, F60 does not fire by pressing the test button on
    TCU while the camera is in sleep mode.
  • Modified the issue that Odin TCU can’t turn off the group using Strato II.
  • Test Button and Light Meters: Pressing the Test button on the transmitter will cause the
    flashes in A, B and C groups to fire simultaneously. Group(s) turned off will not fire.
    When the flashes in A, B and C groups are set to Manual (M) mode, pressing the Test button
    on the transmitter will cause the flashes (which are powered on and on the same channel as
    the transmitter) to fire an initial low-power pre-flash. The flashes will fire simultaneously at
    their set manual power levels 2.5s later. This feature allows for light meters to be used
    correctly.

Phottix Indra500 TTL Review by Zack Arias

Earlier in the year, we had posts like “Big and Small Lights: Phottix Indra500 TTL and Mitros+” and “Behing-The-Scene Photo with Phottix System” demonstrating how Phottix Indra500 TTL cooperates with other gears and works as a system. Besides the system advantage, Zack’s review on Phottix Indra500 TTL goes through several considerations why he would choose Phottix over some other brands.
