Nope, no TTL on the Quadra\'s. But then, Why would one want TTL in the first place. TTL is inconsistent and you loose a lot of power when shooting at fast shutter speeds. I\'d rather use Hypersync.
With the Quadra\'s you have 2 options for the flash head. You have the S-Head (nowadays called the Pro head) and the A-Head. (Action head) The difference is the flash duration. The Action heads have a lot shorter flash duration which is nice in the studio for freezing motion. But... for Hyper cyncing the flash duration of the A-Heads is too short. So, if you want to use Hypersync you have to make sure to get the slower S-Heads/ Pro Heads instead.
Btw... if you don\'t need the \"latest and the greatest\" this is a steal imho: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1149091-REG/elinchrom_el10430_1_quadra_living_light_kit.html. Buy two of them for $2000,- and you will have twice the flash power (and even more since the B2 is only 250Ws). For the price difference with the B2 set you could almost buy a Pocketwizard FlexTT5 and 2x Pocketwizard MiniTT1 for Hyper syncing purposes. And if you don\'t need HSS, you could spend that price difference on some very nice light modifiers since these Elinchrom sets come with a Skyport transmitter anyway
I own 2 Elinchrom Quadra\'s, one RX and one RX Hybrid. The difference between these two are neglectable, accept for the battery. The Hybrid has Li -Ion but these are backwards compatible so you could always invest in some of those later. The difference with the latest Quadra pack, the ELB are a bit bigger. But if you are on a budget, the older Quadra\'s are great!
