TURTLE-Balage

Backscatter HF-1 or AOI Intelli strobes with TURTLE TTL triggers. We are the first in the world whose Nikon and Canon triggers can control AOI intelligent strobes in TTL mode. We believe that with this dedicated control, these strobes currently deliver the most accurate TTL performance on the market. Put their capabilities to the test with our SMART 3 triggers. Available in our webshop or through our authorized dealer partners. https://www.trt-electronics.com/shop/ttl-smart3-triggers/

I’ve written a blog post about the new SMART 3 Olympus/Panasonic version. I didn’t want to go too deep into technical details, since the main goal was to promote the product, but I believe there are still some useful insights in the post. :) Click the link if you're interested. :) https://www.trt-electronics.com/blog/rc-or-wireless-mode-panasonic-vs-olympus-control-question-from-o-turtle-viewpoint/72/

If the 160D supports HSS, then I believe the answer is yes. I don’t remember exactly when I had the Seaflash 160D with me. :(

Right! Test is done with success. R5 works with the s-turtle 2 manual. Tested function was 1st curtain / 2nd curtain and HSS with retra pro max. :)

I hope I was able to reply to everyone. If I missed someone, feel free to reach out to me via Instagram or Facebook chat. :)

The i-TURTLE SMART 3 is compatible with the following strobes in TTL and Manual modes via camera menu control. High-Speed Sync (HSS) is available when enabled in the camera menu and supported by the strobe. Tested and supported strobes: Ikelite DS160 Inon Z240 / Z330 Sea & Sea YS-D2J MILC Sea & Sea YS-D3 RETRA PRO-X MILC Ikelite DS230 Seaflash 160D Seaflash 60D RETRA PRO MAX Apollo 3 Apollo S AOI UIS P Backscatter HF-1 Sea & Sea YS-D3 DUO Note: The Backscatter HF-1 works in TTL mode if you set it to SONY mode. I personally tested this strobe during a liveaboard trip in the Red Sea in April. For more details and real-world testing photos, check out our blog post: 👉 SMART3 Prototype Testing in the Red Sea Although most photos feature the AOI UIS P, I also used the HF-1 during the trip.

Our manual trigger knows 1St curtain/2nd curtain switching and switch automatically to HSS over the flash sync. https://www.trt-electronics.com/shop/e-turtle-2-manual-trigger/46/ I can test the R5 this week and write you here. :)

Absolutely. A7R5 was tested few years ago. The A1 II was tested by my friend last moth and use the SMART-2 for that. The SMART 3 works with that also.

Absolutely. :)

Hi These products are now available, but we haven’t given up on making the Canon system work reliably across all camera models. Unfortunately, since Canon’s pre-flash behavior differs from other systems, each trigger must be individually configured for each camera and strobe combination. This is an enormous task. Manufacturers who tie their Canon triggers to a specific housing or camera body have an advantage, as they only need to focus on one trigger–one body pairing. As far as I know, currently there is no underwater trigger that works perfectly with all Canon cameras. We’re doing our best. The manual Turtles in the Series 3 line will be released soon. After that, we’ll be able to focus more on the Canon TTL issue.

The Manual/TTL switching function is not available on all Sony cameras, and we aimed to find a solution that allows every Sony model to switch underwater between TTL and pre-flash-free modes. This led us to monitor the "WL" (Wireless) function in the camera's signals, and when it is activated, the system switches to the configured mode. This setting can be customized in the Setup program for Sony cameras. This alternative mode can be set to First Curtain, Rear Curtain, or Strobe mode, which activates between shutter speeds of 1/10 sec and 2 sec. You can read more about this feature on our blog. https://www.trt-electronics.com/blog/stroboscope-mode-with-smart-triggers/70/

Yes . Many things have changed in the new Turtle 3. We tried to implement the requests we received from you, our customers. I believe we’ve managed to reach several important milestones. I trust that many satisfied users will enjoy using the new product. :)
