Wasn’t it supposed to be called “Helios”?
That name is already pretty established througout the Internet since the October anouncement last year.
Why change it now? Trademark issues I assume?

We can only enter the contest with one name, or we can add many trigger names in the email?

Name is: ARADIA (Italic mythology)

I am the will of the gods, I am the life.
I am the Lady of the full moon, the one that comes back to remind the Sons of Heaven Ancient Art.
I am the Goddess of love that spreads a mantle of stars over night.
I announce the dawn and greet the sunset. I possess the secret ofof every spell .
I am the one who controls the lightning.
I am the dew that falls on the fields of flowers, the sap flowing in the woods,
that drives the winds and waters, who marries and impregnates the earth, born in fire and fuels the eternal flame that justice cries out to the gods.
I am the one who conquers death and breaks the chains of fear,
I am the pure Spirit of Nature, the free spirit of the universe.
I am the immortal glory of the truth ‘never betrayed.
I am love, I am the life.
I am the daughter of the infinite Light.

I would like to name Phottix Hero TTL.

hrmdadi April 17, 2011 at 9:56 am

When can we see it in the market

Richie August 13, 2011 at 7:15 pm

I know I’m a bit late for this, but maybe a better name for this one will be “Phottix Alpha”
being the first product from Phottix to feature eTTL and iTTL. Now to differentiate from Canon against Nikon, use:
Phottix Alpha i or Phottix Alpha iT for Nikon
Phottix Alpha e or Phottix Alpha eT for Canon

Cheers

Richie
