Review on the Phottix Odin TTL Trigger for Canon

Image from The Phoblographer

The Phoblographer ran a long, thorough review on the Phottix Odin TTL Trigger for Canon (link to review here). In short, the author loves the Phottix Odin and his conclusions are -

• Decent build quality
• Exceptional battery life
• The best TTL metering I’ve seen (it’s like you’ve never taken the flash off the camera. And even then it sometimes meters better.)
• A price you really can’t beat: US$330.00 for a Commander and Receiver at the time of writing this post. US$130 for a receiver.
• Extremely easy to use.
• Very portable.

Check out the following video review from the author as well.

For those interested in the trigger, PASM Workshop is  selling them at a huge discount for their registered members,
