Phottix Indra 500 TTL 4-Channel Studio Light Intended for photographers on the road, the Indra 500 TTL Battery Powered Monolight from Phottix offers a design driven by portability, flexibility & power. Both power cord-free & sync cord-free, the Indra 500 is also hassle-free thanks to the Odin receivers for Nikon & Canon cameras built-into every unit. Phottix starts with a flash head with all the qualities of a studio flash such as 500 Ws of power, adjustable from 1/128 to full power over an 8-stop range. Recycling time is 0. 1 to 2 seconds with the included Li-ion polymer battery & 0. 1
- 1 second with the optional AC adapter. Action-stopping flash durations as short as 1/15, 000 (t. 1) sec. are possible at reduced power settings for freezing splashes or peak-moment sports shots. The Indra 500's battery is the key to taking studio quality light out into the field. Photo sessions can have a fluid quality not possible when tethered to an AC cord; setups change in seconds rather than minutes
- assistants can even handhold the lights. This can be done at distances up to 328' thanks to built-in radio receivers for Nikon & Canon cameras & use of the optional Odin 4-channel transmitter. The battery gets 400 full-power flashes on a 5-hour charge & thousands at minimum power. This would be an impressive flash head if Phottix had just stopped there but the Indra 500 is also TTL capable with Nikon & Canon cameras, allowing photographers to seamlessly transition in rapidly changing light conditions using their camera's auto-exposure technology. Using the optional transmitter, TTL power can be adjusted remotely +/- 3 EV, while manual mode has an expanded 8-stop range. The Indra 500 TTL ships with a Li-ion polymer battery, charger & reflector. A 110-220 VAC adapter is available for separate purchase.
