In the midst of Photokina 2014, Phottix announced the Indra500 TTL, which is a 500w/s studio light with TTL compatibility for Canon and Nikon thanks to a built-in Phottix Odin TTL trigger.
Notably, the Indra500 TTL is capable of firing up to 1/8000s shutter speeds using high speed sync. It can also fire in manual and stroboscopic modes.
When using TTL, the flash itself is controlled by a Phottix Odin TCU or Phottix Mitros+ speedlight. Check out the list of key features in the rundown below.

I love my Paul C Buff Einstein system, but this is VERY interesting!
Don’t really care about TTL, but remote manual power adjustments, 1/8000 second sync, second curtain, and stroboscopic would be enough for me!
Having some doubts about the LED modeling light, but we’ll see how it turns out.
Drat and damn. There I was getting all excited because I have the Odin system for firing my Canon flashes and was thinking “Oh hell yeah! A studio light! I can use with my Odin!!”
Then the price….
Not saying it’s not worth it. I don’t really know, but that’s outside my poor budget.
