Phottix Mitros+ TTL Transceiver

£180/$250 The Phottix is a good team player

Like the other Phottix flashgun on test, this one won’t work in the hotshoe of Z 6II and Z 7II cameras and, this time, its transceiver is also incompatible, ruling out off-camera flash. Even so, there’s a lot to like about this Nikon-dedicated flashgun, from the powerful Gn 58 power rating of its head to its weather-sealed foot that shrouds the camera’s hotshoe. Wide-ranging flash modes include a programmable repeat option.

Full infrared commander and remote modes are featured and, like the Nikon SB-5000, the Phottix also adds RF connectivity. But whereas the Nikon only has a receiver module built in, the Phottix has a transceiver, so it can also work as commander in RF mode for triggering other compatible flashguns. It’s also works well with Phottix Odin and Stratos radio triggers.

Performance

Max power output fell a little short of expectations in our tests, suffering from nearly a full stop of overexposure in TTL flash mode. Apply some negative flash exposure compensation, and it’s a capable flashgun.
