If you have a 5DIII and the Phottix Odins....
wickidwombat:
each odin reciever comes with 2 sync cables a pc sync to 3.5mm jack cable and a 3.5mm male to male cable
i just pluged the 3.5mm male to male cable into the odin reciever and the elinchrom and set the other reciever on the 580 it fires with ettl however the elinchrom is only ever going to be manual

using the odin thats massive being able to fire 580's at full power at high shutter speeds increases the
usage by orders of magnitudes.

That's crazy. I don't even know how that's possible, as I didn't know it was possible to use HSS at full power, but I'm not complaining. I'm definitely going to pick up some Odins.
Thanks for the great feedback my mate from down under :)

How is this even possible? Is this a documented functionality of the Odin? I ask because even if you mount the 580exII directly on the camera you won't get full-power at 1/8000.

PW flexes do the same (but dont know about on the 5DIII)
Have been doing some still life with the 400 f/2.8 so needed the extra speed - just set the tv, dont touch the PW or 580s - just fire away.

i'm guessing the odins have a built in time control of the release of the flash burst which is around 1/20,000 sec for the actual burst of light
