This is a transmitter and two wireless receivers, so you can control two different flashes at once. Everything is in excellent condition. The transmitter alone sells used for $120 at B&H. I’m asking $100 for all three pieces. PayPal preferred.

Thanks for looking!

Ben

Is shipping included or is it plus shipping?

Do you have the manual?

I’ll pay shipping to CONUS. I will check for the manual but I know that it is available online if I cannot find it. Here is an article on using the Odin: https://photography.tutsplus.com/tutorials/how-to-use-your-phottix-odin-radio-flash-triggers--photo-13914

One of the simplest systems I’ve ever used.
(Set your speedlight to TTL and adjust from the transmitter)
Great set-up.

I am definitely interested but I do need the manual. I am unable to find it online so if you can locate it, that would be very helpful. (I did find the manual for the Canon version.)

Stan, there is no difference in the operation of the unit between brands. Anyway, I’ll look for the manual tonight. Please see my PM to you.

Phottix Odin TCU TTL radio flash trigger for Nikon w/ receivers is an excellent system.
Been using them for years...

Here's a tip from lessens learned from experience...
These Phottix Odin units are designed for 1.5 volt AA batteries...

Please be advised that 1.5V is THE nominal voltage for dry AA batteries, and nickel-metal hydride batteries (such as eneloop) have a nominal voltage of 1.2V.

This caused timing/signal issues that drove me crazy until I tested them with a volt/ohm meter.
Bingo! only l.2 volts so moving forward I only used Alkaline Energizer double A's
Problem solved! Still use the eneloops in my speedlights since their capacitors could care less about voltage... lol

Interesting aside: I assisted a top commercial shooter in my market for many years and always wondered why he used alkaline batteries in his radio triggers... Now I know... He also would only load the batteries into his triggers/receivers on the job... And would remove them once it was a "Wrap" So be warned Alkalines are notorious for failing and leaking corrosives that will trash your radio transmitters and receivers.... Never leave Alkalines in a piece of stored kit...

Love my Phottix Odins!
Hope this helps...

Oh, forgot: "I do need the manual...." Since you found the Canon Manual the ONLY difference is the bottom right button on the Transmitter: for Canon it switches to High Speed Sync... However Nikon cameras do this in their menu system: Custom Settings; Bracketing Flash; Flash Sync Speed: set this to Auto FP and Bob's your Uncle!

On the Nikon Transmitter that bottom Right Button triggers the flashes Modeling Light Burst!

If you still can't figure this out PM me and I'll post an image of the instruction for that button function.
However that is the only difference between the Canon & Nikon variants...

Again hope this helps... Those Phottix Odins are awesome! Their interface mirrors that of Nikon's SU800 Unit
