Does the Phottix Strato II system work with the older Phottix Strato system? And what are the differences between the 2?

Yes, the Strato receivers work with the Strato II transmitter. I actually haven't tried the Strato transmitter with the Strato II receivers and hadn't really thought to before because of the little differences of the systems. The Strato II allows you to set not only channels (like the Strato), but groups as well. I assume since the Stato receivers can't be set on particular groups, they'd default to the very first group. So if using a Strato II transmitter, you can set Strato II receivers to a different group and turn those off if necessary and still have the Stato receivers firing. You wouldn't be able to do the same if using the Stato transmitter.

Yes if you have an external power supplyBut if you don't I advice you to go for the hobby zone apprentice as it has a real transmitter and power supply versus the toy version with the stratus

I have been using the Phottix Odin with a 60D and an xsi for some time.Just bought a 6D and mounted the Phottix just to respond to you.It works perfect. Tested high speed synch. Ttl and manual. Perfect!

100% sure it works with the pole cat. If the firebird stratos is DSM2 it will work too. Remember the range with that transmitter is about 400-500 ft. Full 2.4 GHz spektrum transmitter (dx7) will give you bigger range

This unit if complete comes with five different receiver plates. If your stratus is an XM or Serius transmitter most definitely yes!

Hey Michael, I compared the two but wasn't able to notice any difference. I have the version II and it works great. For the record, I've used the Z finder and this one is on par with it. I'm assuming that the new one has some minor fixes or changes, but I can't really tell the difference. Best of luck!

The Phottix Flash Triggers are made for Canon and Phottix products only. The circuitry is different in other flash manufactures products, my Sigma EF-610DG Super Flash for Canon does not work with the Phottix Flash Trigger. You would have to go to the PocketWizard to use a trigger for all flashes on your Canon. I now use a Canon 580EX ll, 430EX ll, and the Phottix Mitros. I use my sigma with the built in optic flash trigger instead.

I'm sorry I only have the Stratus 6 so I'm not sure if it will or not. Works GREAT with my Stratus 6 though. My Dad got one too for his Stratus 6 because he liked how mine worked.

The old transmitters work fine with this receiver. This receiver seems to be much more sensitive than the older one and therefore has a much longer range. Works perfectly.

The DX II was made to be compatible with older models like the T1i. If your using a body newer than that, the DX I should work fine. There are no defining differences between the two other than that.

I do not know what is the difference between the two. Maybe one is a older verison (AQ-4000)? Hopefully, someone else can answer the question for you and me. ;-)

I don't know about the newer version, but it works very well with the blue top older version.

The Strato remote will fit the Sony Alpha models perfectly with no additional adapters. I have the transmitter and two receiver. I would say the image is incorrect. It fires for me flawlessly, just be sure to have both units on same channel.

It works with my Verizon sch-i405 stratosphere but have no idea about other models

The side of my stratus 7 box says it works with: Home Kit SUPH1; Vehicle Kit SADV2; Portable Speaker Dock SXABB1 and SXABB2.

I'm not sure. I have the Stratosphere model. I don't want to give you bad advice. Sorry.

I use the Mitros interchangeably with my 2 canon 430 EXII without any issues. I have the Phottix Odin ETTL triggers and everything works great.
