Friends, I want to add a third speedlight, which means buying a third receiver for my Odin 1 radio transmitter. I could definitely save money by going with the Photixx Mitros +, which has both transmitter and receiver built in. As I do not think I will be able to handle one before buying, I would like to ask if anyone is using this flash and how you like it. I am especially interested in build quality—I don't want to have to replace it a year from now. Any comments are appreciated.

Thanks!

I am curious myself, though lately I've been researching Godox for my own use.
At work, I have the older Odin transmitter and several receivers I use with my Nikon Speedlights.
Those Phottix radios have been rock-solid performers with an easy to understand interface. (I hate having to keep manual on me)
We had a dealer here in town that sold the flash and I only handled it in the store.
The flash seemed pretty well built.
Sadly the store recently went out of business.

I have one and it does every think my speedlites do and more and it is much cheaper than the name brands many pros use them, I would not hesitate to buy one you can find them used on eBay and also new.

I have used the Mitros + for 2 years now with no issues of any kind. Build quality is excellent, and I wouldn't hesitate to purchase another if needed.

Might be worth a look, though I'm personally more interested in Godox for myself.
They just came out with a transmitter that lets you shoot ttl on your first shot, which gets you close, then translates the output used to manual and you can adjust from there.

Thanks for the feedback, everyone.

Among other things, it's the "TCM" option that has me interested in Godox (Adorama Flashpoint):

"There’s also a new TTL-Convert-Manual (TCM) function, which allows you to meter your flashes while in TTL mode. If you then click a button and switch to manual mode, the settings will be automatically adjusted to give the equivalent output."

More on the transmitter HERE.
