Control the AF illumination on the device itself, without having to go through your camera's menu

The Vello FreeWave Captain's Wireless TTL Transmitter provides the user with the ability to manually adjust the TTL of an i-TTL capable flash in 1/3 stops between -3 to +3

Control the High Speed Sync (HSS) function from the device. This mode allows your camera to set the shutter speed faster than a flash would normally be able to fire in sync with. HSS mode instructs the flash to fire multiple short pulses of light to match the shutter's speed. Your camera/flash manual will indicate how you can access this mode

Second Curtain Sync (SCS) mode fires a flash at the end of an exposure rather than at the beginning to create the illusion of motion in an image. This yields natural-looking blur trails behind the moving subject such as those seen in night shots of speeding cars

A: The shutterboss will not work with the vello free wave captain wireless ttl receiver.

Q: 2. If I need to use 4 remote flashes, can I add another 2 receivers?

A: If you want the flashes to work in TTL it will not work with multiple flashes.You need the Vello Freewave Aviator system. Below is a kit with two receivers.

Q: 3. Will this trigger work with a LumoPro LP180 flash?

A: Technically it should work. But the wireless sync is for TTL and that flash is manual.Best is to attach the flash to the receiver through the sync port and not the shoe.The Non-TTL version would be a better option, Vello FreeWave LR Wireless Flash Trigger and Receiver Kit B&H # VERFWLR MFR # RFW-LR.

Q: 4. Would this work with a Canon 6D and a QFlash T5d-R to allow manual remote control of the flash power settings?

A: Although this can connect a 6D to a T5DR flash, all the control would need to be done on the flash directly.

Q: 6. will this Vello Captain trigger work with the Sony A6000? I'm thinking about getting one for a carry around camera. My 430 flash does work with the Sony.

A: Hi Marvin, Using a Conon 430 flash with a Sony camera will not allow the use of the TTL function of the flashso it would not make any sense to get this model. Using the Conon 430 flash on the camera now, you need to set the flash manually otherwise it would be at full output. I would look at the non TTL version, and as a bonus, it is also less expensive.

Q: 7. can this be used to set up lighting groups? for instance, lights 1 and 3 shoot on group A; 2 and 4 shoot on group B; or all shoot on group C?

A: This model does not support groups. In the same brand this one supports up to three groups Vello FreeWave Aviator Wireless Flash Trigger Transceiver & Two Receiver Kit for Nikon B&H # VEFTATTLN2RK MFR # FTA-TTL-N2RK.

Q: 8. The manual for the Basic version of this product and some other Freewave products indicate that holding the shutter release longer than 3 seconds in Bulb, will cause the shutter to remain open until the release button is pressed again. The manuals for the RFW-N and the VCTTL-N (this product) indicate that the shutter remains open so long as the button is depressed. I am looking for some confirmation that this is how they really work and the three second option to keep the shutter open doesn't work. Is that the case?

A: Yes, when using the mechanism to trigger the camera the amount of time you hold the button is how long the shutter stays open for. So if I hold the button on the transmitter for 1, 2, 3, 4 or 10 seconds that's how long the shutter stays open. It does not take a second button push to close the shutter after 3 seconds. So depending on your scenario this could be good or bad. With that said I would tend to suggest having both an item like this plus the Vello Shutter Boss. Wired or Wireless are relatively inexpensive. It just allows you to do more stuff in the long run. But again it really depends on what your use will be.I use a Canon 5D Mark II and a 50D with both

A: It can control the flash or the shutter but not both at the same time.

Q: 10. Can this setup be used with the Nikon 7500?

A: Yes it will work
