Overview / Product Description
TRT TTL i-TURTLE 3 SMART TTL Optical Flash Trigger for Nikon Mirrorless & DSLR Systems
Reliable TTL and manual flash control via fiber optic or sync cord – now in the powerful SMART 3 version.
The i-TURTLE SMART 3 is TRT's latest-generation TTL trigger designed for Nikon's high-end mirrorless and DSLR cameras. This is more than a name update – it features all-new hardware, upgraded software, and expanded compatibility with today’s most advanced underwater strobes.
It is the perfect solution for professional underwater photographers who require accurate TTL exposure, smart operation, and broad compatibility with both cameras and strobes.
TRT's company was the first to offer a TTL trigger for Nikon mirrorless cameras, and with the SMART 3 series, we've raised the standard once again with even more functions and support.
