FREEWAVE

AVIATOR

TTL FLASH REMOTE SYSTEM

USER MANUAL

Thank you for choosing the Vello FreeWave

Aviator System. The FreeWave Aviator

is a professional solution for wirelessly

controlling o-camera TTL-capable

ﬂashes while retaining full TTL capability.

The FreeWave Aviator System is an ideal

tool for photographers on every level.

The Aviator gives you the ability to ﬁne

tune your lighting and help you match

your ﬁnal shot to your creative vision.

The Vello FreeWave Aviator allows for

an impressive range of wireless control.

Supporting up to 16 channels, ﬂashes can

be arranged in three groups, which can

each be set to TTL or Manual mode. The

TTL EV compensation, manual power,

and zoom levels for each group can be

INTRODUCTION

changed separately, and groups can also be

controlled with ratio-based adjustments.

This allows the ﬂexibility to be creative

with dierent lighting treatments and

eects. You can instantly raise and lower

power levels on select lights, or use the

zoom control to change the tone and shape

of the lighting for exciting new looks.

With its multiple groups feature, you can

easily conﬁgure up to three dierent light

groups, which can be triggered individually

or simultaneously, for a total of seven

dierent combinations. (Simultaneous

triggering of multiple ﬂash groups requires

additional FreeWave Aviator Receivers

or Transceivers, available separately.)

The FreeWave Aviator does not require

line-of-sight positioning, since its radio

waves pass through and around objects,

such as walls, windows, and ﬂoors. It also

functions in all lighting conditions including

bright daylight or direct sunshine.

door and insert the batteries as

close the compartment door.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

The Vello FreeWave Aviator is available

in models for both Nikon i-TTL and

Canon E-TTL cameras. The Nikon and

Canon models are each compatible

with the respective company’s TTL

(Through-The-Lens) technology.

To make full use of the Aviator system,

we recommend using TTL-capable hot-

shoe ﬂashes that are fully compatible

with your camera’s TTL system.

FreeWave Aviator Transceivers and

Receivers do not provide high-voltage

sync protection, and they are not

recommended for use with ﬂash units that

have a trigger voltage of more than 6V.
