Dear user,
Thanks for choosing the TURTLE SMART TTL trigger!
Our product was designed for the demanding underwater photographers who want to use sophisticated TTL or Manual control of their external strobes. The
TURTLE SMART is a device which ensure the communication between the camera and the strobes. It can be connected via fiber optic cables or sync cords.
The package contains:
Compatibility of the o-TURTLE SMART TTL trigger
The s-TURTLE SMART works with all Sony camera models
Using the TURTLE SMART
Important! Setup via USB connection is possible only if you use the TURTLE SMART triggers, do not try this with the older TURTLE trigger models!
It's not possible to upload different camera manufacturer's software to your specific TURTLE SMART unit! We use a simple color code, the TURTLE
SMART logo on the unit should be the same color as the logo in the matching software. The i-TURTLE SMART for Nikon is the blue, the e-TURTLE
SMART for Canon is the red, the o-TURTLE SMART for Olympus and Panasonic is the green and the s-TURTLE SMART for Sony is the yellow one.

Please choose your strobe model carefully, the TURTLE SMART works properly when you downloaded the correct control software to your specific camera

software to your TURTLE SMART.
