Odin for Canon with Canon 5D Mk III

We get a lot of email asking: Does the Odin work with the 5D Mark III? In short: Yes!

Meta Data

The above was shot with the Canon 5D Mark III and the Phottix Odin TTL Flash Trigger for Canon. Two flashes were fired into a 72″ Para-Pro Reflective Umbrella, a third used in an orbis Ring Flash as a hair light.

There are some issues with the Odin for Canon and the 5D Mark III when “bounce” flash is being used. Firmware revisions are being tested and will be available later this month. Stay tuned for further details and announcements.

Martin Schreier July 11, 2012 at 3:29 am: I try to use Phottix Odin with three receivers, Canon 5D Mark III and three Metz Mecablitz 58 AF-2. Unfortunatly this compostion doesn’t work steady. Sometimes all flashes are firering, sometime only one or two and sometimes no one at all. Is Phottix planing an update for Metz Mecablitz 58 AF-2? I love this flashlights. (sorry for mistakes, english isn’t my mothertongue).

David July 16, 2012 at 10:07 pm: Are there any issues with firing the odins from multiple cameras at the same time (aside from flash recycle time)? My 2nd photographer and I trigger the same flashes at wedding receptions. Seems like it could be the perfect system!!
