The Backscatter Smart Control TTL LED Universal Flash Trigger for Sony is a cutting-edge device engineered to provide underwater photographers with precise and automatic flash exposures when using Sony cameras in conjunction with Backscatter strobes. This trigger is compatible with the Backscatter Hybrid Flash, enabling seamless TTL (Through-The-Lens) functionality.
Key Features:
- Smart Control Optical TTL: Utilizing proprietary Smart Control Optical TTL technology, the trigger ensures accurate automatic flash exposure. This system leverages Sony's native TTL protocol, offering superior precision compared to traditional mimic TTL systems.
- High-Speed Sync (HSS): The trigger supports High-Speed Sync, allowing photographers to use shutter speeds beyond the camera's standard flash sync limit, up to 1/8000th of a second. This feature is particularly beneficial for achieving wider apertures while maintaining darker backgrounds in high ambient light conditions.
- Manual Triggering and Rapid Firing: Beyond TTL, the device offers manual flash control and supports rapid firing, accommodating burst shooting at over 30 frames per second in manual mode.
- USB-C Rechargeable Battery: Equipped with a built-in rechargeable battery, the trigger provides up to 13 hours of continuous runtime. The USB-C port facilitates convenient recharging, with a full charge achieved in approximately two hours.
- Automatic Power Management: To conserve energy, the trigger automatically enters standby mode when the camera is turned off or asleep, ensuring extended usage over multiple days without the need for frequent recharging.
Design and Installation:
The trigger features a hot shoe connector, a USB-C port, a power switch, and a battery indicator button. Two LED lights display operational status and battery levels. The universal design ensures compatibility with most housings, and users can choose between single or dual LED trigger lights based on their housing's configuration. For housings with built-in optical ports, dual LED trigger lights are ideal, while the single LED trigger light can be utilized with an optional bulkhead adapter for a more direct fit. Installation is straightforward, with detailed instructions provided to accommodate various housing types.
