Using TTL (Through-The-Lens Metering)

TTL (Through-The-Lens Metering) is an automatic flash exposure that is predetermined by your camera’s

settings and internal light meter. TTL is most useful in rapidly changing lighting environments.

When the TTL shooting mode is selected with the Interfit TTL remote, power adjustment on the remote will

change to a +/- display. The light output will be automatically set by the camera but can be fine-tuned using

exposure compensation. Exposure compensation can be set using the +/- power buttons on the remote.

Adjustments can be made in 1/10th stop increments up to +3 or -3 stops.

Charging the Battery

To check the amount of charge left on the battery, turn the light on with the battery inserted to view the

battery level indicator on the Badger Unleashed LCD screen.

To charge the battery, remove it from the light by pressing together the tabs on both sides of the battery

and lifting straight up. Plug the included battery charger into the battery. Then plug the charger into a wall

outlet to charge. There will be no indicator on the battery while charging, but the light on the charger will

light up red while charging and green when charge is completed. A full charge will take about 90 minutes.

NOTE: Only use the included battery charger with your Badger Unleashed battery. Using other brand

chargers could damage the battery.

Mounting to a Light Stand

Your Badger Unleashed will mount to most standard light stands with a 5/8” stud. Unscrew the Stand Mount

Knob until the mount fits onto the light stand. Make sure to turn the Stand Mount Knob until tight.

Use the

Ratcheting Tilt-Lock

to adjust the angle of the light on the stand. Once loosened, simply push

the light in the direction you want to tilt and it will click into place in increments. The resistance of the

Ratcheting Tilt-Lock

provides extra security when using large, heavy modifiers.

Replacing the Flash Tube and Frosted Glass Dome

Both the flash tube and frosted glass dome are user-replaceable.* Replacement parts can be purchased

direct through the Interfit website or via a certified Interfit dealer.

*The oil from your fingers will damage flash tubes. Be sure to handle new flash tubes with gloves or a clean cloth.

Always use caution when handling broken glass.

Firmware Updates

In order to ensure proper communication between the Badger Unleashed, your TTL remote, and your

camera, make sure the firmware on

both your light AND remote

are updated to the most recent version.

The newest firmware updates are available in the support section of the Interfit website.

To check the firmware version on your light, power the light off, press and hold the “TEST” button, and

power the light back on. A number (1.5, 2.0, etc.) will appear on the LCD readout that corresponds to

the firmware version. To see which version of firmware your remote is using: power the remote on and

press and hold the “MODE” button. A letter and number (b 01, b 02) will appear on the LCD readout that

corresponds to the firmware version.
