INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing the Vello FreeWave
Aviator System. The FreeWave Aviator
is a professional solution for wirelessly
controlling off-camera TTL-capable
flashes while retaining full TTL capability.
The FreeWave Aviator System is an ideal
tool for photographers on every level.
The Aviator gives you the ability to fine
tune your lighting and help you match
your final shot to your creative vision.
The Vello FreeWave Aviator allows for
an impressive range of wireless control.
Supporting up to 16 channels, flashes can
be arranged in three groups, which can
each be set to TTL or Manual mode. The
TTL EV compensation, manual power,
and zoom levels for each group can be
2
changed separately, and groups can also be
controlled with ratio-based adjustments.
This allows the flexibility to be creative
with different lighting treatments and
effects. You can instantly raise and lower
power levels on select lights, or use the
zoom control to change the tone and shape
of the lighting for exciting new looks.
With its multiple groups feature, you can
easily configure up to three different light
groups, which can be triggered individually
or simultaneously, for a total of seven
different combinations. (Simultaneous
triggering of multiple flash groups requires
additional FreeWave Aviator Receivers
or Transceivers, available separately.)
The FreeWave Aviator does not require
line-of-sight positioning, since its radio
waves pass through and around objects,
such as walls, windows, and floors. It also
functions in all lighting conditions including
bright daylight or direct sunshine.
