Meet the world’s smallest TTL and manual trigger – designed for Nikon, Sony, Olympus/Panasonic, and Canon cameras. Big performance, tiny footprint.
The TURTLE SMART 2 packs a built-in battery for up to 2000 shots and charges via USB. The all-new SMART 3 triples that capacity — with a swappable battery you can change in just 30 seconds, or recharge via USB-C. Power, your way.
Whether you shoot with fiber optic or sync cable, the TURTLE drives over 90% of underwater strobes on the market. One trigger. Endless compatibility.
TTL, MANUAL, HSS, 1st Curtain, 2nd Curtain, flash compensation, auto HSS switching for select models, and high-speed continuous shooting – it’s all built in. Ready when you are.
Customize TTL response curves, activate strobe burst mode (on supported models), and monitor battery performance – all via our intuitive setup software on MAC or PC
With optical flash syncronization, you can take more pictures: no more overheating problem with the built in flash, no more single images – and it also saves battery life in the camera.
You can easily set up your TURTLE SMART by the downloadable software. When a new strobe is available you can simply download the new version and set up your trigger.
Forget the need of another extra battery: Turtle has it’s own inside it’s sleek package. All you need is a USB charger or anything with a USB port to charge it to full power, and it only takes an hour.
As small as it can get, TRTTL is the ultimate camera-to-strobe controller device – don’t let size fool you, this little box is a hell of a beast, wait until you unleash it’s full potential!
Your photos will be correctly exposed. Or do you want to control the power level of your strobes? No problem, our products support Manual setting.
"Moreover not only the product is great also the costumer service." Markus Meissl e-TURTLE mobie Canon 5D mk2
"Finally I made the tests with Canon 5Dmk3. It is working very well even with Sea&Sea; D2, with ordinary optic cables, congratulation." Józef Bodziony
"It all worked out perfectly - super service – thank you!" Tom Peter
First of all, you should check the space in the housing. You have to measure the distance between the connector to the adapter and order a special cable. After the products arrive you just put the controller in the hot shoe, setup that from PC software, turn it on using the main switch, and connect the special cable to the device.
We made some tutorial videos how to install and how to setup the triggers:

Basically only the camera and underwater strobe setup matters. If the underwater housing has any bulkhead to control the strobe or a connector for fiber optic cable it should work properly with the TURTLE SMART or TURTLE MANUAL trigger.
TURTLE triggers are built with components using advanced SMD technology to achieve the smallest possible size. Their housing is made of ABS injection-molded plastic, making them both lightweight and durable.The hot shoe connector is a robust metal piece, or in the case of Sony systems, it connects via the original Multi Interface Shoe.
The SMART 1 and 2 models include a built-in 120 mAh battery, which can be charged via a micro USB cable.
The SMART 3 series features a replaceable battery with three times the capacity, which can be recharged through a USB-C connector.
