Turtle TTL experiences?

Does anyone have experience with the Turtle TTL system? I'm looking to get one for my Sony a7RII, mated to their fiberoptic window; but would like some feedback before investing $600. Reliability? Support?

Thanks,

Dave

Hi Davec1302, I use with 7rIII. It's not just perfect in TTL and Man, but also pretty

Ah, at last, a Turtle user. Thank you for the reply. I hope you have the time for a few questions.

How long have you had the Turtle and roughly how many shots? Any issues or strange happenings?

Is the battery life sufficiently long for multiple dives?

Were those two fiberoptic ports supplied with your case, or did you add them?

Which brand strobe are you using?

Any comments appreciated.

Dear Dave,

The TURTLE can works approx 30 dives. At the last may we werein Bali and we take 200 pictures /dive and 4 dives/day.

The TURTLE was charged only two times at two weeks. If the Turtle battery is 20% the red led at the back is blinking.

We tested the TURTLE Sea and Sea, Inon, Nauticam and 10 Bar cables.

The strobes:

Inon series, IKELITE Ds 125/160, Sea and SeaD1, D2 ,SUBTRONIC etc.

If you have any question, just write me.

Hi,
i have an older version for my Nikon Setup.
Batteries hold long enought, so charging every third day was more than fine....
TTL is sometimes a thing that depends on your subject. Macro easy, wide angle tricky....
But works fine.

Be sure to bring enough spares. Product works as advertised but my liveaboard was quite ruined after it went defect.
