THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING VELLO.
The Vello FreeWave Captain wireless triggering
system is a multi-purpose 2.4 GHz 4-channel
digital radio TTL system that empowers users
to remotely trigger flash and camera devices.
You can enjoy the freedom of triggering from
a distance up to 300 feet (100 meters).
The Vello FreeWave Captain is designed to
give photographers an easy-to-use, high-quality
TTL radio slave system. With the use of built-in
TTL functionality, your camera and flash unit
can automatically adjust your settings for the
ideal exposure in various lighting scenarios.
The wireless control capability eliminates
the presence of cable clutter, making it ideal
for studio or outdoor flash scenarios.
Remote camera triggering is another ability
of the Vello FreeWave Captain. This is helpful
when a subject, such as wildlife, may be
dicult to approach. Additionally, the wireless
function of the device removes the potential
of camera shake, making it ideal for macro,
close-up, and long-exposure photography.
The Vello FreeWave Captain’s high-speed sync
and second-curtain sync functions create easy-
to-control lighting eects, making it simple to
take creative and artistic images. The wireless
system has a high-speed sync of up to 1/8000
second, allowing the user to capture images
wirelessly in most shooting scenarios. Its
small size and included pouch make the Vello
FreeWave Captain simple to store and transport.
To fully understand and best use the
functions and capabilities of your Vello
FreeWave Captain, please take a moment
to read through this user guide.

The Vello FreeWave Captain receiver

TTL (through-the-lens) technology.
