The Canon-specific MiniTT1 and FlexTT5 / FlexTT6 radios work within the Canon E-TTL II system. Be sure to check the Canon Compatibility wiki page for compatibility with your specific camera.
The Nikon-specific MiniTT1 and FlexTT5 radios work within the Nikon i-TTL / CLS system. Be sure to check the Nikon Compatibility wiki page for compatibility with your specific camera.
All references to TTL are exclusively for the electronic or intelligent TTL systems specific to Canon (E-TTL II) and Nikon (i-TTL / CLS), and not film TTL.
The terms Speedlite or Speedlight are used interchangeably throughout this wiki.
This wiki contains the latest information about the operation of your radios. If you would like to download a PDF of this information, click here and follow the instructions.
| Note: The FlexTT6 was created to make the newest generation of Canon cameras (such as the 1DX Mark II and 5D Mark IV) compatible with our ControlTL system. The difference between the FlexTT6 and FlexTT5 is a circuit board hardware change. The functions of the radios are identical. Any information or videos you see, with the exception of compatible cameras, is identical between the FlexTT6 and FlexTT5. To use a FlexTT5 with a FlexTT6, the FlexTT5 will need to be updated to firmware version 6.905 or later to function properly. |
