What does the Odin offer?
The Phottix Odin TTL Trigger consists of an on-camera transmitter and control unit (TCU) and receiver units for compatible hot shoe flashes.
The Odin offers photographers four wireless channels and three flash control group designations. Flashes can be controlled in TTL or manual mode, or A:B ratio mode with EV +/- adjustments of three stops.
Flash head zoom can be dynamically adjusted as photographers adjust their lenses. Flash zoom can also be easily adjusted manually and set statically from 24 to 135 mm. The Phottix Odin system will also trigger compatible non-TTL flashes and studio strobes.
The Phottix Odin TTL Flash Trigger for Sony will start to ship this week. Check out the Phottix Online Store or check with your local Phottix retailer.
I like it a lot! It’s not that there’s anything wrong with Sony’s own system, except it requires an expensive flash to be connected to the camera, and its reach isn’t always sufficient. Insufficient reach is a thing of the past with the Odin system.
There are some quirks, notably the manual zoom setting, but that’s a small price to pay for the otherwise excellent flexibility offered by this product.
finally a wireless solution for sony. i will take it even if it did not come from sony. i just received my system and can’t wait to put it to the test.
