Dear friends, I opened a thread about wireless flash trigger but I got no response. I get the feeling that flash triggering suppliers only bother to make something that is totally compatible with Sony and that pisses me off. It seems no company has taken the more than professional A7 series seriously, being their effort only concentrated on Canon and Nikon. Still, I have purchased a Phottix Odin for Sony mount and a Sekonic L-478DR-PX to make the light meter fire the flash, but it just doesn't work, even though they state that those items work together. Contacting Phottix in HK, they told me to get a Stratos II instead of my Odin receiver, but when I went to purchase it, I could not find a Stratos II for Sony, only and as expected, they had the Canon and Nikon versions (in that order). Can anyone help me out? The idea being to be able to fire the flash in TTl and if needed HSS mode from the meter such as the Sekonic L-478DR-PX (for Phottix? By the way any other meter or flash wireless remote will do as long as they offer TTl and HSS for our Sony A7 (in my case an A7R2 Or is it true that manufacturers consider the sony Alpha gear as a non professional gear? If they do they are in for a big surprise. Anyway let me know how you have managed (or not) to fire your remote Sony flash from a light meter and if you can use the TTL option and maybe even the HSS, so much needed in our photography.
