Umm. You need to edit your article. You said Gay Fong instead of Gary Fong.
I like this site
I want to know when they will release the receiver for it. I want to use something the size of the 40i which fits more for many (true not all) mirrorless users but want a offcamera ttl solution. The size and price of the commander is great, now we need a small receiver for the 40i or a 40i that does support the air-1. Or am i missing something ?
+40 A 40i Air would be mega. Irresistible. Nissin: please hurry this up!
Nissin Air FTW.
Prefer the industrial design and layout of the Nissin Air Commander much more than the Phottix Odin which looks like it is fitted in a make-shift project enclosure. Also, the angle on the Nissin is much more appropriate compared to the vertical layout of the Odin which I found it rather odd to operate when trying out my friend’s Odin on the A7II.
Getting a set soon when it is out in my place~ You gotta love Japanese ID~=D
Also, I wish they release the trigger dongle soon~
Yeah I have the Odin, its very flimsy. I have it on with the hot shoe adapter and its a pain in the ass to attach and super super wobbly! The odin itself works amazing, but feels cheap ashell.
looks very nice in deed. Wish they would release a receiver which would allow me to use my sony flashes. I dont think this is going to happend
It comes out later in the year. That’s been my reservation about using this.
In the video he says theres HSS on this set up, but in the description it was excluded. Any confirmation?
I have one. It’s an excellent flash, premium build quality, easy to use interface, and the remote (air) works so nice, even when you turn the camera off, the offcamera flash goes in standby.
Ohhh~ Very nice~
Can you do a mini review regarding HSS in M mode. Any long delays of pre-flashes before the shutter triggers and went into HSS?
In TTL 1/8000 there is no delay. I’ll check later today in M but i suppose that will be the same.
I had trouble activating HSS on camera flash but can use HSS via the radio trigger off camera. Do you have the same issue? manual says to press on pilot button for 3 seconds but it didn’t work on the flash itself
Hey Kevin. I tested HSS with radio trigger. Now with on camera, i have the same issue. 3 seconds pilot button doesn’t work.
seems like a software problem or so with the flash. probably won’t use the flash on camera anyways, but still different from the description
yes, mini review with HSS please
Mine should be here on Wed. from B&H. Can you use HSS with the flash head at any angle?
Yes
Many thanks, looks like its going to be a nice unit to use.
does it have an outlet for external battery pack? thank you!
I ordered mine from B&H last week and it only let me “pre-order” it. Within an hour of my order, it converted to showing that it actually shipped. B&H does this often when they have a good relationship with the maker–they just drop ship them direct. So, don’t be afraid to pre-order from B&H… pm-r
My Odin system can also be used with my Dynalite, Norman, PB Einstein’s, ProFoto, and any other studio strobe and speedlight combo. I can mix systems because Odin receiver can be used with any flash. Odin transmitter can also control their older Strattos receivers.
I applaud Nissin for this trigger/flash combo kit. But I haven’t seen any separate receiver unit to use with other systems. Sounds like it might not work with legacy investment. Can anyone confirm? Light slave triggers are not an option for events or weddings because other flashes would trigger my system, killing my recycle and providing others with full kit lighting.
Please let me know if Nissin has optional separate trigger available for legacy strobes.
I am in the process of getting rid of my PW TT-1, TT-5 and AC3 for Nikon as I transition to Sony. Looked at Nissin, but too proprietary with no independent receiver for other flash – or even the expanded line of Nissin speedlights. While Nissin may lag on Sony development, the independent receiver isn’t even available for Nikon or Canon…so not holding my breath. Odin is about the only choice, but they are perpetually out of stock for Sony. Ended up getting Yongunos 560TX and YN560 IV plus a couple of 603’s to trigger other speedlights and strobes. Granted it is manual and no HSS, but it works. Adjusting the 560’s at the camera is great (603’s adjust at flash) but the LED menu to adjust the Yonguno, Nissin, or Odin pales compared to the dials and TTL/Man switch on the PW AC3.
not sure, the picture on their web page indicates usability of other nissin flashes only http://www.nissindigital.com.hk/images/2015/03/10/nas.jpg
