Phottix Strato II Multi Wireless Flash Trigger System for Nikon (PH15653) Instruction Manual

Zavedení

The Phottix Strato II Multi 5-in-1 Wireless Trigger System provides advanced control for your camera, speedlight flash units, and studio lighting equipment. This system operates on a 2.4 GHz frequency, offering a reliable range of over 150 meters (400 feet) and sync speeds up to 1/250th of a second. It features four channels and four groups (A, B, C, D) for flexible lighting setups. The transmitter includes a TTL pass-through hot shoe, allowing a dedicated camera-mounted flash to function in TTL mode while simultaneously triggering remote flashes. Receivers are equipped with a flash wake-up function to conserve battery life. This system can also serve as a wireless or wired shutter release for compatible Nikon cameras.

Průvodce nastavením

2. Montáž vysílače

3. Connecting the Receiver to a Flash Unit or Studio Strobe

For Speedlight Flash Units: Slide the Strato II Multi Receiver onto the hot shoe of your speedlight. Ensure it is securely attached.
For Studio Strobes: Connect the receiver to your studio strobe's sync port using the appropriate PC to 3.5mm cable or 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable with the 6.3mm adapter if needed.

4. Powering On and Setting Channels/Groups

Turn on both the transmitter and receiver using their respective power switches. Use the channel and group selectors on both units to match the desired channel (1-4) and group (A, B, C, D). For successful triggering, the transmitter and receiver(s) must be set to the same channel and group.

Návod k obsluze

1. Basic Flash Triggering

Once the transmitter and receiver(s) are powered on and set to the same channel and group, simply take a picture with your camera. The transmitter will send a signal to the receiver(s), triggering the connected flash units.

2. TTL Pass-Through Function

The transmitter's hot shoe supports TTL pass-through. This means you can mount a compatible Nikon speedlight directly onto the transmitter, and it will function in TTL mode with your camera, while the transmitter simultaneously triggers remote flashes set to the same channel and group.

3. Flash Wake-Up Function

The receivers feature a flash wake-up function. If your speedlight goes into sleep mode, triggering the transmitter will send a signal to wake up the connected speedlight, reducing the need for manual intervention and conserving battery life.

4. Using as a Shutter Release

The Strato II Multi system can also function as a wired or wireless shutter release for your camera. Connect the appropriate Nikon shutter cable (N6, N8, or N10) from the receiver to your camera's remote port.

Drátové uvolnění závěrky: Connect the cable directly from the receiver to the camera. Press the test button on the receiver to trigger the shutter.
Wireless Shutter Release: With the receiver connected to the camera via cable, press the test button on the transmitter to wirelessly trigger the camera's shutter.

5. Skupinová kontrola

The system supports four groups (A, B, C, D). You can assign different receivers to different groups. This allows for independent control of multiple lighting setups. For example, you can have one group of flashes for main light and another for fill light, triggering them selectively by adjusting the group setting on the transmitter.

Údržba

Výměna baterie: Replace batteries when the indicator light shows low power or when units fail to respond. Always use fresh AAA batteries.
Čištění: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the units. Avoid using liquid cleaners or solvents. Keep hot shoe contacts clean and free of debris.
Skladování: When not in use for extended periods, remove batteries from both the transmitter and receiver to prevent leakage. Store the units in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
