The Phottix Mitros TTL flash has been available for Canon for several months, and Phottix have now released the Nikon version of the Mitros.

David "Strobist" Hobby has been testing the Nikon version, and has published a positive review of the Mitros for Nikon. In his review, David said: With a 2 year warranty, the Mitros provides great value for money for anyone wanting a TTL flash for either Canon or Nikon.

Several of my children play soccer every Saturday, and I normally have my KAP gear in the car. Yesterday was the first time that there was sufficient wind to attempt some photos from my kite.

The wind was a bit variable, so I did attempt to fly the kite over any of the games that were in progress. I am keen to try again at this venue, and hopefully some more consistent wind will allow me to get some photos a little closer to the action on the soccer fields.
