Q: 1. I am having trouble with this transmitter on 2 parts. Using this transmitter with the Bowens XMT500s1. I can not get the XMTR transmitter on my Nikon D750 to go into TTL Mode. I have been up and down the menu in the transmitter and it will only stay in STR. For something that should be rather simple it has now crossed into frustrating. I have followed the instructions, but still wont go into TTL. What am I missing? 2. On my Nikon once the transmitter is in the hot shoe, I can not crank shutter speed over 1/250th to engage HSS. I have gone into the menu and engaged the 1/250th (Auto FP) but the camera will not roll past 1/250th. Any help or suggestions are appreciated!

Q: 6. How do you know if you need to replace the light (tube) my firing is getting less consistent. Or will the thing just stop working all together? It's pretty pricey and I don't want to have to buy a new one if this isn't the case.

Q: 8. Is this (Ares II) compatible with the older Ares (not Ares II) receivers?

A: The Ares II and Ares are not compatible with each other.

Q: 9. Will the Ares II Flash Trigger Transmitter work with a Phottix Atlas II receiver? 1 of my 2 units went south on me.

A: I contacted Phottix concerning your inquiry. According to Phottix, no, the Phottix Atlas II receiver is not compatible for use with the Phottix Ares II transmitter. The Phottix Atlas II and Phottix Ares II have different frequencies and are not compatible with one another. The Phottix Ares II would be compatible with the Odin II, Strato II, and Odin Lite line of remote triggers and they recommend upgrading to the newer Ares II flash triggers.
