The Backscatter Smart Control TTL LED Flash Trigger range delivers reliable, high-speed optical TTL performance for underwater photographers using OM System / Olympus and Sony cameras. Designed for shooters who demand precision lighting, these compact triggers offer lightning-fast recycle times, consistent TTL accuracy, and seamless integration with a wide range of underwater strobes.
Using Backscatter’s new Smart Control TTL algorithm, each trigger automatically adjusts light output for beautifully balanced exposures, even in rapidly changing shooting conditions. Whether you prefer to shoot TTL for fast-moving subjects or switch to manual for full creative control, these triggers make strobe control easier than ever.
The Backscatter Smart Control TTL LED Flash Trigger has three different models, two universal types for Sony and Olympus/OM System cameras, and one for Nauticam full-frame Sony housings.
