FREEWAVE

FLASH TRIGGER LR

USER MANUAL

Multiple triggering modes enable you to ﬁre

all channels simultaneously or separate your

receivers into separate channels. With a 1/250

sec. sync speed, the Vello FreeWave Flash

Trigger LR’s transmitter and receiver are easy

to set up and use. The wireless capabilities

and embedded antenna eliminate clutter,

and the transmitter’s ability to tilt makes it

very compact while being used on-camera.

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for choosing Vello.

The Vello FreeWave Flash Trigger LR is an

8-channel, extended range wireless ﬂash

trigger with digital circuitry. This device

uses a powerful 2.4 GHz radio signal,

maximizing your photographic potential

by extending the signal strength.

With an extended range of up to 600 ft.

(183 meters), you can use the Vello

FreeWave Flash Trigger LR conﬁdently in

nearly all photography settings. The wireless

signal empowers you to trigger your hot

shoe or studio ﬂash units without a line-

of-sight view, making it easier to set up

wireless connections separated by a barrier.

COMPATIBLE DEVICES

The Vello FreeWave Flash Trigger LR

transmitter and receiver is compatible with

most hot-shoe and lights, studio lights. The

Vello FreeWave Flash Trigger LR does not

transmit through-the-lens (TTL) settings;

therefore, we recommend using a fully

manually controlled hot-shoe ﬂash with

this device. The power output must always

be set manually. Most ﬂashes that can be

operated manually are compatible, except

Pentax, Sony/Minolta, and Sony Multi-

Interface ﬂashes. The Vello Flash Trigger LR

Receiver is also compatible with the Vello

Captain TTL transmitter channels 1-4.
