Instant TTL exposure

In TTL mode, the Ecko automatically adjusts flash output for a perfect exposure, whether you're shooting macro or wide-angle. It keeps up with fast-moving subjects and offers a range of settings not possible manually.

TTL reduces recycle time, saves battery life, and simplifies editing. It works with your camera’s manual mode (M), while giving you control via flash exposure compensation.

Compatible with Ikelite TTL accessories: DS Link converters (Canon, Nikon, Sony, etc.) and RC1 receiver (OM System, Olympus, Panasonic).

Universal and convenient power source

The Ecko DS runs on standard AA batteries, easy to find even while traveling. For optimal performance, we recommend using Eneloop rechargeable batteries.

Its battery compartment is fully independent and maintenance-free: no lubrication required, just ensure it’s clean before each use.
