triggers sit on the hot shoe of camera. I want to photograph inside a squash court and fire the camera remotely. can these do that w/o cable?

You will need a Pocket Wizard Camera Cable to connect the Pocket Wizard to the camera's cable release receptical. The type of cable depends on the camera and on whether you want to pre-trigger or not.Here is an example (there is also a table on the bottom of the page with a grid explaining which cable works for which camera): PocketWizard 802-453 CM-N3-ACC Canon MD Pre-Trigger for MM

Connect the pockewizard to the hot shoe, connect the pocket wizard to the camera (probably a mini-USB port), then activate the on-camera pocketwizard with your second pocketwizard set to the same channel. Also be sure to test the setup from outside the glass of the court because that may affect the triggers.

You will need a cable to connect the Plus-X to the triggering port of your camera.

You just need a cable to connect the pocket wizard to the triggering port on your camera...correct cable usually comes with the pocket wizard

No you do not have to buy a remote trigger. It comes with a trigger that attaches to your camera's hot shoe to activate the flash. But they can also be set to slave and have them trigger off of your on camera flash, whether it is the built in or a speed light.

No, you cannot, I contacted Youngnuo directly and they suggested I use a Windows computer. I returned the triggers unused that day.

Sony uses a proprietary hot shoe so they can milk you for more money. You will need their overpriced adapter to mount a standard manual flash or triggers.

I believe you can.Cowboystudio NPT-04 4 Channel Wireless Hot Shoe Flash Receiver for Canon EOS, Nikon, Olympus and Pentax Flashes Other productsAnd it should work well with the trigger you have (as I have two different receivers and triggers working together.)

I ordered that and when I received it, it would not work beyond 10ft pointed straight at the sensor. I called the company and they said it was a bad one and sent a replacement. I got the same effect with the replacement. So personally I think you would be better off with a cable switch or just using timer on your camera. these DO NOT get the range specified so I count them as a piece of crap. I certainly would not use it to attempt wildlife photography or anything of that nature. This answer is based off of using a canon rebel xs. Dslr

Hi there,I do not know in what camera you intend to use the remote. It is not attached to the hot shoe but to the 10-pin remote terminal. In my Nikon D300s this plug is on the front left side of the camera. Not all DSLR cameras have that remote terminal, as it occurs with my Nikon D40X.I hope this helps,Luis

It has a mode that acts as a slave, but is only activated by other flashes in this mode. You could, for all intents and purposes, use your on-camera flash to fire this one remotely. However, if you did not want the on-camera flash to affect your subject's exposure, you'd have to gobo that flash.

Well... yes!! Because the IR just send a electronic pulse to the camera in order to activate the camera trigger!! You can buy this item!! But if you are not sure, try to ask directly to the vendor... best regards!!

why would you? you can use the camera's delayed shutter timer. besides you would have to be at the remote's cord distance.. it's not wireless.

This can be mounted on a stand or just set on a table and it will trigger from the flash on the camera. You will need to put it into "slave 1" mode to do that.hope this helps.

Yes, it can be used to trigger the video function. You will need to set your camera to video mode, enable wireless remote functionality, and set the remote to the "2" switch. For still shots while video is being taken, push the switch to the bottom on the remote to begin getting still shots.

Simplest and cheapest would be a single channel flash trigger like Cowboy Studio or several equivalents. These simpler ones consist of a transmitter that attaches to your camera hotshoe and a receiver that mounts to a stand and the flash then mounts on it. Radio Frequency signals will travel thru through walls if you find it necessary to place your flash around a corner and out of line of sight. There are several brands that work quite well.

No this camera does not have a trigger port, so this is not possible. This is not the greatest camera by any means. Of the three we own only one has been reliable and its image quality was the worst of the three. The 3X optical zoom is a joke, I got better results squinting (a little exaggerating there) but not impressed. This camera does not have the options a basic camera should have this day and age (cannot do basic ftp options like overwriting an image). This is classic reverse engineering, not a polished original...

Optical triggers are nothing but trouble and PC cables fall out of your camera. get yourself some radio triggers. You can get a basic 16 channel xmitter and 3 or 4 receivers.

The camera is powered by a standard outlet. I am not sure if the camera can be triggered on by motion detection. We use it for a continuous live feed. It should work installed behind a glass window. You just might need to make sure to keep the glass clean for a clear image.

after to read the a390 user's manual,this don't show any connection for remote shutter release cable,my answer is not,only the recommended rtm-dslr1 that is wireless infrared,any similar option will work fine.
