The FreeWave Captain Wireless TTL Receiver for Canon E-TTL or E-TTL II from Vello is part of a multi-purpose 2.4 GHz, 4-channel digital TTL radio system that gives wireless freedom from a PC cord plus the convenience of accurate exposures through wireless communication with your camera's E-TTL or E-TTL II flash technology.

Coupled with a separately purchased FreeWave Captain Wireless TTL Transmitter, the system not only enables remote triggering but also camera control with auto exposure in a radius up to 300'. Solo shooters can add depth to portraits and group shots by attaching a receiver to an E-TTL or E-TTL II flash mounted on a stand for hands-free shooting. Using 2 shoe mount flashes, an additional receiver and an assistant you'd have enough mobility to light groups, demos, shows, portraits and events on location, on-the-fly. And the benefits aren't limited to flash photography either. You can also use the receiver with the included camera cord and handhold an optional transmitter to wirelessly trigger your camera in single shot, continuous shot, bulb, and timer modes, with or without flash. This is of paramount importance in situations where a subject, such as wildlife, may be difficult to approach. Additionally, the wireless function of the device reduces the potential of camera shake when doing macro, close-up, and long exposure photography.

The Vello FreeWave Captain Wireless TTL Receiver's High Speed Sync and Second Curtain Sync functions create easy to control lighting effects and other creative options such as stop-action shooting and a wide degree of background or ambient light control.

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 E-TTL or E-TTL II 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

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. 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: 2. Can you still use the ev adjustment in full manual on the flash?

A: Yes you can change the settings on the flash by 1/3rd stops but in any mode you have the trigger set to the off camera flash needs to be set to TTL.

Q: 3. Does this kit work with non Canon speedlites?

A: The kit works only with Canon speedlights, however there are FreeWave Captain kits that are compatible with other speedlight manufacturers. Please contact us at info@gradusgroup.com for more information.

Q: 4. It only works in TTL? If I want to trigger my off-cam manualy?

A: It will trigger your flash in manual mode, but you can't adjust your settings via the remote - you have to physically make those changes on the flash unit.

Q: 5. 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. How is it compared to Yongnuo YN-622C II?

A: The differences are featured based. The Vello Freewave Captain would have a range up to 300 feet and 4 channels as well as having a more compact design. On the other hand, the YN 622C II has a slightly higher range of 329 feet, 3 channels and 3 groups, and a standard PC terminal.

Q: 7. Is this compatible with the 5DsR? I don't see it listed in the compatibility list but I'm assuming it is since the 5DIII is there. Just want be certain though.

A: I would say the firmware is probably very similar to the 5d3. Most wireless transmitter are ok.

Q: 8. Can the vello freewave captain remotely trigger the shutter and flash simultaneously?

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

Q: 9. Does this trigger system allow for the user to adjust the power of the flash on the transceiver or do you have to go and do it on each speed light?

A: Yes but only globally. You have a plus or minus 3 stop range but you cannot vary one alone. No group control.

Q: 10. 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.

WORKS FINE, HOWEVER, IT WILL NOT TRIGGER ''MOVIE' MODE, BECAUSE IT LACKS THE 2 SEC DELAY BUILT INTO THE RECEIVER LIKE THE CANON PRODUCT DOES. ADDING THIS, AND MORE CHANNELS WOULD MAKE THIS 'THE' ONLY REMOTE PRODUCT YOU COULD EVER WANT 5

I bought this with my other receiver. It works great. Easy to use. 5

This gives you TTL capability with a remote flash. I use these triggers with Canon flashes and have had no problems. I have not tried with non-Canon flashes so cannot comment on that. Works as advertised, easy to set up, easy to use. Battery life seems good - I have used these triggers several times and am still using the original batteries that came with the triggers. 5

I want to reduce the amount of equipment I lug around and FreeWave Captain Wireless E-TTL radio system has made that possible. I use on camera flashes for some location work. Not had enough time to test all the features but for portraits it works great. 5

So far it does everything I wanted it to do. Objective was to get the flash off the camera in positions for better fill, and it has worked perfectly. 5
