One reviewer indicates the Odin will not work with non-Canon flash units? Will the Odin work with Metz and other third party flashes?

In theory they should work with third party flashes. But they aren't going to promise it though. I don't think any 3rd party is going to work hard to make their things work with non-Canon gear.

For non-canon flashes, I bought a Stratos receiver, In addition to the two odin.Then this stratos, usually in zone "c" either fires a single manual flash or, the way I use it most, drives the transmitter of an Lp-04 lo-cost trigger driving up to 4 more monolights or flashes,Yes. It works on any flash with a center pin, only in manual. TTL is brand-specific.

I don't think it is a good idea to go with anything but canon or phottix flashes

wow...i've never used that brand of flash...here's what i can tell you...on all my Sony branded flashes, they work like a charm...i do have one Sigma flash (610 dg super something) that won't fire with any of my triggers (i also have a set of pixel pawn triggers)...i'd contact the people at Cowboystudio...they're pretty good about getting back to customers

I have a D800 and Sb 900 and Yongnuo YN568EX flash , and they work al the time the SB9oo control the other flash, I had problem with the SB 800, it will not communicate in TTL and was not able to adjust.

Yes...works like a charm! Go to www.030914.MyBaldPhotographer.com and look at the dramatic sky shots I did with the Odin.

The revised firmware version does work, according to New Harbor. The first firmware version, of which I am a recipient, does not. New Harbor contacted me directly and immediately when they discovered the problem and offered to swap out my flash for one that works with the T3 series. Should you receive one that doesn't work, I believe that New Harbor will work diligently to rectify it. However, I'm also satisfied that they'll have the issue fixed on any flash you order from them. Hope this helps, Robert~

I never got mine to work. I can honestly say you are better investing in a basic flash for 200.00 It will make a big difference in the long run. I was going to use it on a rebel t1i

I know this flash is sold in two different versions, one for Canon and one for Nikon. I do not know which models of Nikon it is supposed to work with. I was NOT SATISFIED with the performance with a Canon, in fact it burned completely out the first time I tried to use it.

I have used the Odin TTL trigger extensively on my Canon 5DIII with a Canon 580 EX strobe over the last year and have been extremely satisfied with it. Adjustment of flash level and hi speed sync work like a charm. To date I have not found a maximum distance that it won't work at--and have shot several hundred feet away from subjects without any misfiring. Almost never has the unit failed. With the TTL capabilites and adjustments I'm not sure why anyone would want a pocket wizard. Strongly recommmended with the Canon systems.

I purchased this unit as a second flash with the idea of having a bit more power than the the Oly flash and it does that. It also has worked well with my OM-D E-M1 in all settings so far and the settings are far simpler. My only other comment is to make sure the flash you buy has the latest version of the software for the camera. I did have a hard time with the Metz website and downloads - but that was surely because I work with Macs and they (Metz) are PCs all the way.

The flash is a Yongnuo (speedlite YN560). It works on some Canons, but not Rebel, as in my Canon T3i. (T3i = Rebel)

Its not for pop-up flashes, its design for external flash, it will NOT work. do not buy it!

No, it only works with Phottix Odin, Strato, and Strato II triggers. Apologies, it should work with YN flashes, but I think it will only function as a manual trigger, with no power adjustments or TTL.

Yes. It does work. Just make sure it's set to the thing that looks like a lightening bolt not the one that looks like a circle (IR instead of Radio). I'm actually looking for a transmitter that will fire the flashes instead because I don't always want the flash on my camera. No such luck.... So right now, I have a really LARGE flash style transmitter... and I rarely use the flash on my camera. I fire a 430 ex ii and a cheaper IR slaved flash.

This transmitters receivers will work with ANY flash regardless of brand or make. Just keep in mind that this unit is for using your flash in manual mode ONLY. If you don't know how to use it this way, please don't purchase it. Strictly for photographers that are good at using flash in manual mode.

The one I bought (and it works well) was the Canon version. There is a Nikon version at Phottix PH89057 Odin TTL Flash Trigger Receiver for Nikon - 2 Pack (Black) The reviews there are good, in my opinion. I've got no specific knowledge of your camera.

Unfortunately the Metz will not work on the Fuji cameras nor do the make one that will. There are three flashes that will work if you go to the Fuji website.

I am waiting for a solid answer from a 5D3 user. For those who don't own a 5D3, please do not add to the confusion by saying practically "I guess so". Canon has changed the E-TTL digital interface and made several 3rd party flashes unable to work in E-TTL mode on 5D3. FYI.
