Anyone else having problems with the st e3 rt? I had many misfires at Luna park only 10 meters away. The flash &amp; remote had full batteries, it was on the floor behind my couple &amp; it was not flashing. Also on the same night it wouldn't flash from...

I havent had any problem, maybe you should check if your units has the same group ID!!! if the problems continue you should sent you unit to service... have try to fired your flas with another master unit?

There is nothing more I know to add to Syd's answer . I have not taken very many shots with the flash but Syd's reply is correct as far as I can tell .

Sorry, can't help you with your problem, I bought this 9X TrustFire, but the seller sent me a different brand (CrazyFire) and it was bad from the start, there were only 3 modes instead of 5, hi-med-low and then it switched off when it tried to go to the next mode which I think it's S.O.S. I returned the flashlight.

Mine is not working with my 6D :( I took it to the camera store and tried it on another 6D and it did the same thing, the flash will fire but the picture will still be dark. I would say on a test of 15 shots, 14 would be dark and 1 would be correct, even though the flash fired each time. We tested it on each of the modes on the flash as well as manual and auto modes on the camera, always with the same negative results. I then placed the flash back on my canon T2i and it worked perfectly on my old canon as it always did :/.

Hi Paul, The ST-E2 used a special battery that was actually hard to find in some areas. You'll be glad to know the ST-E3-RT uses standard AA batteries. A definite plus!

Unfortunately, it is really unreliable in daylight. I bought it to use with my Fuji X-S1 with the expectation of shooting outdoor group photos at a family reunion. Indoors it worked most of the time (though not always), but outdoors on a sunny day it failed to fire about 85% of the time at distances greater than 10 feet. I missed a lot of good shots, not to mention the embarrassment of making a large group of people wait for one retake after another. Don't waste your money. There has to be a better solution out there somewhere.

I bought this flash to go on a Canon Rebel T4i. After the first couple of months I could not get it to work at all. The flash would not flash etc... I took the camera and flash to the local camera shop and was told that Canon camera's are very persnickety in regards to the flash. They just don't communicate with an off brand flash. I bought a Canon flash and have had no more problems at all.

I have a Canon elph 750 and a elph 790 new. They are both producing orbs on my pics. My old Fuji finepix 700 does not. They are saying it's because the lens in located too close to the flash and is lighting up dust or mist in the air. My Fuji is long and the lense is far from the flash. They just got carried away with the "small" camera and someone needs to fix it. I'm returning both of these cameras and waiting till they do. It's too common of a problem for them not to address it. No one wants spots on their pictures. They show up on faces too. If anyone knows of a new camera that has fixed this problem please let us know.

Dawn, Hello there. I have only had my cameras out for a few weeks and looked at the cards on my computer once. I cannot say I have seen the flash but I would think it does because of a few pic's I could see the deer very brightly lite. I can only guess for now that YES it does. You probably do not want the theif to see it going off but there are different modes you can set it at too. Mine are too far away from here for me to go get them and check them. Sorry but thats the best info I could give. GOOD LUCK WITH THAT THUG !! Barry

The revised firmware version does work, according to New Harbor. The first firmware version, of which I am a recipient, does not. New Harbor contacted me directly and immediately when they discovered the problem and offered to swap out my flash for one that works with the T3 series. Should you receive one that doesn't work, I believe that New Harbor will work diligently to rectify it. However, I'm also satisfied that they'll have the issue fixed on any flash you order from them.Hope this helps,Robert~

Same problem here. Works for testing, but on site failed to work immediately or after a few shots. Sent it back.

it sounds like you have a battery issue. I ordered 3 flashes and 1 of them had a faulty battery.

I just ran through the SW bands again - it is now 9:30ish pm ET and I got 25 good stations. Either my location is better, or my radio is just a lucky example and the quality control was not good. My USB and SD card slots work - both in stereo. I am sorry yours isn't performing as well.

After I purchased two TT850 and one TT860 and additional battery, I got the following message from the distributor I purchased them from: "We are writing because we were notified by our distributor that some stock we received of Neewer TT850/TT860 speedlights were supplied with the incorrect battery which doesn't perform as it is intended. If your TT850/TT860 battery hasn't performed as expected please let us know, as we have replacements available to send out. " At the time I hadn't had a problem...however while shooting a wedding this weekend one of the batteries stopped working. I could turn the unit off and then on and it would work again (but for only 1-2 flashes). Fortunately I had the back-up battery and had no problems the rest of the evening. I plan to get this battery replaced...hopefully quickly!

Will it fire? Yes. Will it work in full TTL Auto Mode? I don't think so. I use these in slaved multiple flash situations and they function beautifully for that purpose. There is also a newer version of this flash but the previous version is also being sold I think. If you do buy, make sure you get the newer version. Would advise getting advice from someone who can address a solution your needs and knowledge level before you buy. Good luck!

I've got a Red 6 I bought 6 weeks ago. Haven't really used it on game yet but did a fair amount of experimentation on day and night shooting and distances, motion, etc. A few of my night shots were very washed out. My yellow lab was maybe 8 feet away when he triggered the camera. Seems like subjects closer than 20 feet end up over exposed. Another test was of me in the yard at night 20 feet away and I showed up clear as well as my neighbor's house wall that was over 60 feet from the camera. While reading your note I thought of something you might try in case your camera is over exposing your night shots with too much infrared for the closer shots. Try using some black electrical tape cut in small pieces and placed in front of a few of the IR leds to block out a portion of the light they emit. Also try not to have a lot of dry light colored grass in the photos to cut down on the amount of IR reflection back to the camera. Good luck. One last thought, it could be that the software that must distinguish between Color Daylight exposure recording and switching the unit to exposing for IR black and white may be having a problem during that transition period when its switching prematurely (too early) to IR and the combination of IR and still existing twilight is overexposing the shot. I suspect that might be your case.
