Today Phottix has announced it is shipping its highly anticipated Odin II transceiver for Sony to their partners worldwide. The new Odin will allow Sony users with the Multi-Interface Shoe (found on the Sony a7x/a6x bodies) the ability to have TTL and HSS functionality using the Phottix Indra and Mitros+ line of flashes.
I've had the opportunity to use a pre-production version of the Odin II for Sony for several months now. Using it mostly with the Indra500 strobes I've been impressed with the build quality and ease with which you can navigate the menus to make changes on the fly.
You can see the Odin II in action with a variety of Sony cameras in the videos below.

Meh Phottix needs to upgrade the firmware for the already sold units to support my Indra digital in 5 groups like they promised before making also rand equipment
Does the AF assist lamp on the transmitter work with the E mount bodies, like the A7R II? I checked the Phottix website for the transmitter and it is indicated that the AF assist lamp is only available with A mount bodies (indicated in the fine-print, no less).
