Now that I have an (AOI UH-OM1-II) strobe trigger that supports only manual or Olympus RC mode, I'm curious what strobes support TTL via Olympus RC mode. I know about AOI Q1 RC, Sea&Sea YS-D3 Duo RC, and Backscatter Hybrid, and some Ikelite strobes using the RC1 TTL receiver. Are there others?

EDIT 1: fixed YS2 -> YS-D3
EDIT 2: started consolidated list
  • AOI Q1 RC
  • Backscatter MF2 and Hybrid
  • Ikelite RC1 TTL receiver + DS51, DS160II, DS162, DS230, or DS232
  • Marelux
  • Olympus UFL 1-3
  • Sea&Sea YS-D3 Duo
 
It's the YS-D3 Duo not YS2 Duo,

The Olympus UFL (1, 2,3) strobes, Marelux, Backscatter MF2 as well as you said the Hybrid,
 
For Ikelite RC1 TTL receiver, it would only work with Ikelite Strobe due to their proprietary connection.
You'll need one of their strobe, either
- DS-51 (small, best for macro),
- DS-160II (large size, flash with modeling light) or DS-162 (large size, flash with Video Light),
- DS-230 (large size, flash with modeling light, higher power than DS16X series) or DS-232 (large size, flash with video light, higher power than DS16X series)

Add this list of other Ikelite strobes that will work with the Ikelike RC1 reciever

ALL DS160's will work, doesn't have to be the DS160 ll

  • Ikelite DS50 above serial # 70000
  • Ikelite DS125 above serial # 5000
  • Ikelite DS200 above serial # 7163

Thanks @cerich. I just list the current model strobe. I was not aware of their compatibility with older model.
