- Double your pleasure: The Phottix Duo TTL Flash Cord
Do you want to add pizazz to your photos? Taking the flash off your camera is an easy way to enter the world of “strobist” lighting.
You’re limited in what you can do with your flash mounted on your camera. The flash is on the same axis as the lens, and let’s face it, the hot shoe doesn’t provide “creative” photographs. Depending on your flash you may be able to change the angle of the head to bounce the light, but your creativity is still limited. Don’t be stifled!
Enter the Phottix Duo TLL Flash Remote Cord. The Duo allows you to use flashes off your camera, with full TTL functions. Use the Duo and mount your flash on a stand, use an umbrella or softbox, and still have access to TTL flash functions – how great is that?
There are many off-camera cables available. What makes the DUO unique is its compatibility. The Phottix Duo can be used with Canon, Nikon, Fujifilm and Samsung cameras.
The Phottix Duo TTL Remote Flash Cord offers photographers another feature – two hot shoes. The Duo has a hot shoe connection over the camera hot shoe area, as well as one at the end of the cord. You can mount two flashes using the Phottix Duo TTL Cord. Two flashes? Imagine the possibilities. Using two flashes does require switching your camera and flashes to manual mode. You will be unable to use TTL functions.
Free Photo Resources, a site run by Photog Friday alumni Barry Chignell, recently reviewed the Phottix Duo. He was impressed by the build quality and functionality of the cord.
