Phottix Indra 500 TTL Studio Light is a fully wirelessly controllable off-camera flash that features an impressive 500Ws of illumination and through the lens (TTL) metering.Paired with a portable 5000mAh Li-Ion battery pack makes it suitable for in-studio work as well as on-location lighting.

TTL Metering for Canon and Nikon

The TTL technology, which works in conjunction with the camera's auto-exposure, allows you to utilise the Phottix Indra 500 in both shutter and aperture priority modes. It's especially good for scenes with continually changing light and moving subjects. TTL metering lets you to be more creative by spending less time manually adjusting light levels and more time shooting. The system works with Canon and Nikon cameras, and it can be updated with new camera firmware as it becomes available.

Built-in Triggering

The Indra 500 has an integrated 2.4GHz radio system that can be activated by a Phottix Odin TTL Flash Trigger or a Phottix Strato II (not included). The Odin TTl Flash Trigger allows you to switch between automatic and manual flash modes, make EV adjustments in ±3EV increments of 1/3 stops, and change other flash settings from up to 100 metres away. The Strato II receiver supports manual flash triggering, but only in manual mode. In addition, the system supports optical slave mode and cable sync.

High Speed Sync (HSS)

Using the Indra 500’s HSS mode allows you to control ambient light and shoot at wide apertures to create a shallow depth of field, supporting shutter speeds of up to 1/8000 of a second*. The flash also offers second curtain sync allowing use of slow shutter speeds to create a natural looking blur trail behind subjects in motion.

Flash Bracketing

Automatic Flash Bracketing provides multiple options of different flash power settings rather than changing aperture or shutter speed to give you the option to choose the right shot or combine elements to achieve the most pleasing combination of ambient light and fill flash.

Stroboscopic Mode

The stroboscopic mode provides a series of rapid flashes for capturing multiple images of a moving subject in a single image, which is useful for special effects and creative images.

Variable Power and EV Level

The flash offers 8 stops of power adjustment from full power to 1/128, allowing exposure control and ensuring the flexibility to shoot under different lighting conditions. At low power settings, flash durations as short as 1/15000 (t.1) seconds are possible for freezing action shots. In the TTL mode, exposures can be adjusted in +/- 3 EV levels.

Compatible with a Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery

When powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery pack (not included), the Indra 500 can transform into the ideal on-location lighting solution, allowing you to take your lighting setup with you wherever you go.

Modelling Lamp

A power saving 9W LED modelling lamp with 9 adjustment levels allows you to preview the light on your subject to make sure you are happy with the angle and diffusion. Auto shut-off ensures that the unit conserves power and avoids overheating, when not in use.

Control Panel with LCD

For controlling system functions in the manual modes, the flash features a simple and easy to use control panel and a 320 x 240 TFT LCD screen with orientation sensitivity.

Bowens S-Mount

A Bowens S-fit mount on the front of the unit allows using a wide range of light modifiers to cover every situation and the kit is supplied with a 7-inch reflector.

Upgradable

The Phottix Indra 500 TTL Studio Light offers a USB socket for future firmware upgrading ensuring the Indra500 evolves with the changes in technology.

The 5000mAH battery pack allows for approximately 360 full power flashes on a single charge. And can be recharged in approximately 2.5 hours.
