While the Pro-11 revisits integrated TTL and is fully compatible with the optional Air Remotes TTL-S/N/C/F for Sony, Nikon, FUJIFILM, and Canon, which allow wireless TTL and exposure compensation at distances up to 330′ in TTL mode and up to 1000′ in manual mode. It also heralds smartphone connectivity! Not only can you can you channel the Pro-11’s updates through the phone and control the pack wirelessly with it, but if the spirit moves you, you can take a photo with the phone!

The answer is: apparently never.
