There is only one thing stopping me, and that is my flash gear. I am willing to sell these to invest in something new, but as I am keeping my Canon gear, I would like the flashes to be useable on the both Canon and Sony. Do you have any recommendations you can give me? Have a look at Flashpoint hotshoe flashes and triggers. TTL is always proprietary.
And then the remote trigger communicates this to the flash in the proprietary language of the flash builder. Once again, TTL is proprietary.
Triggering is not. Hi Brian, Thank you for this concise article. I have purchased the Nissin DiA Flash Kit with Air 1 Commander for Sony before reading your test and my first impression was very good on the functionality. After adding some light modifiers to the flash for off-camera lighting I can warn only about the plastic hotshoe on the DiA Flash unit!
Be aware that the pictures on A.. I needed to improvise on a holder for the flashes to be used with a standard umbrella tilt adapter. Sony flashes do not have radio receivers built in, so they each need a Sony Wireless Radio Receiver.
Brian, I have a Nissin i40 with a damaged Shoe, can I use the AIR 1 Commander for Nissin to trigger the flash wirelessly off camera or do I need to have it connected via its shoe to the Nissin Air R bite the bullet and repair the shoe.
The i40 does not have a receiver built-in so it requires an Air Receiver to trigger it which will only work if you fix the flash foot. I am interested in being able to use this flash off camera, and I am unsure what is needed for this setup. It sounds like I can use the on-camera flash to trigger the HVL-F60M off camera, but I am not sure what features this includes… I am assuming not much intelligence? Also not sure what other limitations this way has. Thanks so much for this reply.
For this prosumer it seems a no brainer and looks like it will work really well for me. But I really do appreciate your posts and advice! Would that be a good option or do you recommend something else? The Godox transmitter requires a receiver in order to trigger a Sony flash but Godox receivers for Sony are not yet available. Cactus is a transceiver system that can be switched between transmit and receive.
I am wondering if there is any way to turn off the awful pre-flash when using it wirelessly with a A7r2? Is there another flash you would recommend for sony that I can use off camera that does not have the annoying pre-flash in TTL? Hi Brian, Thanks for all of the info. I shoot with an a7ii and invested in two F43M flashes. Do you have any recommendations? Thank you! Hi Brian, thank you so much for all of your help to me with my Sony cameras over the years.
Your book, posts, etc have been invaluable. Any advice on how I can fire it wirelessly? Thanks Jeanett. Sony is costly for me. Wondering if you can help me with this one.
I have a Sony A7r, but a canon flash. I was looking at the Nissin multi interface shoe. Is there a way to use that and still keep using my canon flash? Thank you for the fast response. Perhaps one day soon someone will come up with a transmitter with the smarts to speak with all the Canons, Nikons, Sonys, Fuji, et al and have hardware compatibility via plug-in hotshoes.
That seems the simplest solution. Has anyone found out why Sony made that design decision? Thanks again! Would you recommend the Godox system over the Nissin? Would you rec starting over with the Godox? Not wanting to spend too much, but it looks like a great deal. Is there a way to use the Godox transmitter to the Canon flash? It sturdier than Nissin and Godox but less expensive than Sony. Hi Brian. First, thanks for all the Sony info. Wonder if you can help with this problem. However, when I try high speed sync mode the photos are underexposed when using a higher shutter speed and leaving the other settings the same.
I thought if you adjust your shutter to bring down the ambient light your flash should look the same in HSS mode. HSS throws away much of the flash output. Thanks Brian. I found that the flash output is less during HSS mostly because of the multiple flashes so I adjusted the output to get what I needed. Thanks again. Then read a review where someone said they used it on an a7. I was using the adapter and was using those flashes wirelessly well with the a7. Really Simple.
Use the Canon version with Canon cameras. Use the Sony version with Sony cameras. They speak different languages. Thanks for your quick answer! What do you think of the Odin as stratto issue? Thanks a lot anyway for taking the time! I have a Godox X1wireless flash trigger and receivers for Sony. It takes it 0. Another advantage of this model is that you can easily access all the buttons on the rear panel and use its high-accuracy LCD panel.
The MS has an in-built channel radio system that allows you to control it wirelessly with the help of the Godox X1 trigger as well as XT16 or XPro, X2 transmitters. It remembers the current settings 3 seconds after they were adjusted.

For instance, you can use the sync cords that can perform a great variety of tasks. However, they are not enough in case you decide to add more flashes. The main disadvantage of this model is that it does not come with a protective cap for flash tubes and modeling lamps. It has an exquisite design and a great variety of functions. This model is probably one of the best photography strobes for wedding, portrait and fashion photoshoots.

Ok so now you know something about the company but I guess you also want to know a bit about the product right? As you can already see in the images it does not stop there. The Canon RT system does this much better by offering you essentially all the settings of the strobes on the unit you place on the camera, but…. The Odin offers photographers four wireless channels and three flash control group designations.
