Phottix recently announced their Strato TTL flash triggers, and they’re quite the interesting bird. First off, they’re not as powerful as the company’s Odin triggers, which we reviewed and loved. It will only offer TTL transmission; and pretty much no manual controls at all. If you want to use it with the new Mitros+ flash, it will only be able to manually trigger it–not adjust it.

It will be first available for Canon with Nikon and Sony to follow afterwards. Specs are after the jump. There is no official word on pricing yet, but there is no way that they can cost you an arm and a leg.

Manufacturer specifications

  • TTL flash trigger with EV adjustments
  • (± 3 stops in 1/3 stops)
  • Backlit LCD and Quick-Change buttons to adjust EV
  • level, mode, and channel
  • High Speed Sync mode – 1/8000
  • Second Curtain Sync mode
  • Wired and wireless shutter release functions
  • 4 channels
  • 100 meter range
  • USB upgradable
  • Compatible with other Phottix flash triggers
