How Did I notice the non Linearity?....Just took more notice as I am a bit of a perfectionist. I just noticed that at 1/2 power the Mitoros was stronger than the 580 but at full power it was not....and at other power settings it was stronger as well. I was using in a multi light setup but experimenting with shadow....I am a learner strobist....something just did not gel!.... I just did not get the maths and/or logic!
BTW I am not experiencing overheating issues BUT I don\'t shoot in a way that will push that capability.
Have I tried HSS? ... yes but only with individual light and it looks to work great BUT I have not measured the flash output relative to its setting, with a meter...yet.
That said I am not sure I can with a sekonic L 308S BUT the HSS functionality does work....the test is the output level measurement ( duration and level). To be sure, I would use manual settings for HSS as opposed to TTL control of level setting (?)
Again I am a student of this stuff but hopefully learning fast.
Firmware is the latest in both Odins and Mitros+ for Canon.
Please note my testing is NOT testing anything but pure baseline function. It is not testing function under the stress of quickfire shooting , nor extreme environments.
The non linearity , given it was one light amongst 4 , was in itself , not an issue as you could adjust by reducing power further ....but it bugged me!
I am not really worried about the absolute power, BUT am a bit anal about the Actual power output relative to the setting selected. Once that is solid ( ie true to label) and predictable and consistent ...everything else is good.
The Mitros+ as a manual flash is solid .. As a TX unit ( Flash off) working with external Odin Receivers coupled with Canon 580/430\'s it is s also great as the tests prove! BUT as a flash utilising its internal TX and RX bits whilst also functioning as a light ?...... something is amiss and I suspect its the TTL control \"handshake\".... but hey I am learning!
As For coming back with Phottixs response ...sure ....but they are currently like ostrich\'s with respect to their Support Ticket system.... But they are trying hard...I think.
THE ODIN TRIGGERS ARE GREAT.....jury out on the Mitros + as a substitute for the external RX or TX
See if this link works ...its the details of the results on my Google drive
