Quick FAQ
Here are some answers to commonly asked questions:
Batteries must not be attached to the unit during travel. Place batteries in CARRY-ON. Do NOT travel with Celestial batteries in your checked luggage.
TTL is like "auto" for you flash. It communicates with your camera to create accurate exposures without the extra work. Great for events and weddings!
High speed sync allows you to exceed your cameras native sync speed. You sacrifice some light output, but in turn can raise your shutter speed to assist in certain motion stopping scenarios or more commonly to open your aperture all the way to use you flash with a shallow depth of field.
