canon mt-24ex macro twin lite flash. Can it be used with the 600ex-rt speedlight flash as a slave?

Yes it can, I have both of them, and sometimes I use the 600ex as slave to light the background.

Erik the mt-24ex can be used as a master but not a slave. The manual which comes with the unit is pre 600ex-rt and is not clear on this point. It may work both directions but I'm sorry I'm just not sure. I only use the 24ex on an MPE-65 and have never experimented. It is a very good unit with great light especially when diffused.

Yes, this will fit on Canon Speedlites as well as Yongnuo equivalents. Great when you slave other flash or use with a wireless transmitter/receiver.

Thanks NutMac. I just got the Canon XSi so I'm guessing that would control this flash (being very new itself). The one thing I didn't consider before was that the price of this new 430EX II will be at list price for a while, making it a lot more expensive that the current model! That will put it out of my price range, so I guess I'm sticking with the older technology for now! Thanks again,Stew

Yes it will. I use it as the master and slave my other Speedlites. All controls are located in your camera menu. Hope this helps.

see photos I've posted. Should work with just about any available speedlight. Nothing brand- or model-specific about it. Wrap the velcro around the head of the flash gun with velcro part facing OUT, then 'stick' the softbox onto the velcro - works great.

No! You wont be able and whatch out! my transmitter just got broken by holding a Canon Speedlite 430 ex. You'll have hard time getting replaced or repair.

Yes in a way! It has a setting on it to switch to be in a slave mode but it is best to always use a remote like a pocket wizard or cactus! This is a great flash for the price, I have been shooting pro for 29 years and shoot nikon but recently bought a few of these! Work great!

It works very well. There is no problem. It also works very well as master or slave when used in a wireless set up with Canon or other speed lights

Probably you can't. The way I trigger my Canon flash and my studio strobes simultaneously, with the ST-E3-RT is the following: I set the studio strobes to optical trigger, and then I use the transmitter to trigger my Canon flash. When the studio strobes "see" the Canon flash they also flash. It works, but the color temperature between the Canon and the stuio lights is never the same, and the recycling time for the Canon flash is much slower than the studio strobes, so it's not perfect :)

This flash is compatable with the Canon 70D, and as to whether it is better than the 430EX, the 600EX-RT does have a lot of functionality ranging from stroboscopic flash mode to automatic flash exposure to pretty much anything you could want from the flash. The downside, of course, is that the 600EX-RT is significantly larger and significantly heavier than the 430EX.

I'm not sure I'd be the best person to answer your question as I own the Yongnuo YN560-II. However, the kit works well on it's own without the need for an additional speedlight. I use the strobes mainly for Portrait photography and some photo's of my now 6 month old son. I use the speedlite mostly on camera and bounce it off walls or a small reflector indoors. And outside as a fill. Sorry I couldn't directly answer your question. Best of luck.

I have two mounts and two 600 ex-rt speedlites... and it works fine. You occasionally have to play with it to make sure it is in their securely... but I haven't had any issues.

The Canon Speedlight 600 EX Flash is excelente, I used it with my Canon 7D.

It works fine with the canon 600 speed lights without any extra adapters. This is all I shoot with now!

No. If you have the 100mm macro you will need an adaptor. For the record, I love the 1-5X lens and this Twin Light.

I use mine as a slave flash so the answer would be yes. You do need a slave adapter to use as the trigger, attached to the base of the flash. They are inexpensive to purchase.

I know the YN-E3-RT works with the Canon 600EX-RT flash, as I run two of them from mine . Sorry, but I don't know about the YN568 EX
