i-TURTLE SMART 3 – TTL & Manual Trigger for Nikon DSLR and MILC 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 our latest-generation TTL trigger designed for Nikon DSLR and mirrorless 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.
