Nissin Air10s Wireless TTL Commander featuring 8 channels and flash groups for Sony, Canon, Nikon, Fuji and M43 cameras. It’s compatible with Nissin i60A and Di700A flashes and the Nissin Air R wireless receiver. It will begin shipping April 2017 with a suggested retail of $170 USD.
Nissin Air10s 2.4Ghz Wireless TTL Flash Commander appears to be a HUGE upgrade from the current (and rather buggy) Nissin Air 1 Commander!
Firmware Updates
Nissin Air10s can be easily updated via a Micro SD card slot that allows users to update the device easily by themselves. Nissin plans on putting a Micro SD card slot on all future strobes and commanders.
Nissin Air10s has a Micro SD card slot for firmware updates
Control your Strobes up to 100 Meters
The device’s range of use has been greatly extended (when compared to older models) to a maximum distance of 100 meters, and the TTL Mode, high speed sync (FP sync) supporting up to 1/8000 High Sync Shutter speed and other functionalities can be controlled remotely.
Adjustments
Nissin Air10s supports 1/3EV step in TTL flash exposure correction and output down to 1/256 power in manual mode
Nissin Air10s dial layout with Color LCD display allows users to control a large group of strobes from a dark indoor studio, to bright outdoor environments.
Manual output power from TTL Exposure Data
The device has a “TTL Memory Function, which memorizes the exposure during a TTL Mode shoot, and allows for a one-touch switch to manual mode. You can save time during the strobes setup as the device takes the TTL exposure data, calculates the individual output internally, and transforms the exposure data into manual mode for advance adjustment.
Open Mode
Open Mode allows for multiple Air10s units to pair with the same group of strobes. This means, the need to repair devices is eliminated, and even if cameras are changed, the same settings can be used as the shoot continues. This convenient functionality allows multiple cameras and commanders to share a same group of NAS strobes.
Crossover Control
Crossover Control offers Full Control of Different versions of Nissin Air System (NAS) Strobes. Even if your Air 10s is for Sony Mount, it is possible to pair it with Canon, Nikon and other differing version of NAS strobes (i60A, Di700A), and you can retain use of all the functions, including TTL Mode (This applies to the other type of Air10s versions as well).

2 thoughts on “Nissin Announces Air10s 2.4Ghz Wireless TTL Flash Commander”
Do they make receivers for these to use with other non-Nissin flashes and strobes?
Nissin Air10s Wireless TTL Commander will work with Nissin Air R Receiver for Sony Flashes with Multi Interface Shoe – HOWEVER while it can trigger non-Nissin brand flashes it may not provide TTL or HSS.
