hi, this set only provides continuous light, each lamp base holds 4 white light bulb. It is more meant for video shooting or macro/commercial photograpgy that takes continuous/constant light. It is not designed to take triggers of any sort to the best of my knowledge, no such recepticles i can find on it what so ever. if you are thinking of taking studio portrait or so, you do need to look for strobe lights with softbox and trigger. Having said that does not mean you cannot use it for regular studio photography if you.have a strong reason to use constant light. Hope that helps.

Yes, trigger should be compatible w/Nikon. And trigger should be mounted on camera,and receiver on flash lightkit to synchronize to fire flash when camera flashes. Regards, kimoutlet

I do it all the time, I've had them for about 8 months now.. I attach 43'' umbrella and Yongnuo 468 or 560, also use them for neewer 160 video light .. I generally work with an assistant, so if I'm shooting outdoors I have someone keep a hand on them because with an umbrella attached they will blow over.. I'm usually on a tight budget and looking for the most economical equipment that's not total garbage, my YN 560 cost me $37 bucks and the 468 maybe $100, if you have $500 or $600 flashes or if money is not an object for you, get something else

Yes these triggers will work with the camera, but I am not sure if they will work with the flash. I use them with phottix mitros and they do a great job. Good luck.

Each item (flashes & triggers) have a manuals in th box. The flashes sit on the triggers switch trigger to flash mount command to your camera and fire away! ( fresh batteries are a must!!

This is for continuous lighting kit, not for flash strobe lightkit. If you would like flash light w/this softbox, you need mounting kit for flash light,and trigger & receiver to work w/flash light. Regards, kim

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, but you will have to manually set your camera to the flash units. The triggers do not read the auto settings from your camera. Works well if you do that...

wow...i've never used that brand of flash...here's what i can tell you...on all my Sony branded flashes, they work like a charm...i do have one Sigma flash (610 dg super something) that won't fire with any of my triggers (i also have a set of pixel pawn triggers)...i'd contact the people at Cowboystudio...they're pretty good about getting back to customers

I have two of theses flashes and i use my SB 900 to trigger then. These units have specific modes - one for Nikon and one for Cannon. You just need to make sure you are in the Nikon mode and you should be good to go.

Unsure, I've never known them to have any. I'm sorry I couldn't help you with this, but the flash did work when I got them. Thank you.

The trigger does need to be on the same channel as the flash, and be on TX (Transmit.) The flash does not need a trigger, as it has the receiver build in. If all else fails, go to the Bracketing/Flash menu and set the Built-in flash to Manual, but that should not be necessary.The Flash needs to be set to Wireless, or it won't receive the wireless signal. You can set it to S1 or S2 for infrared, which would be the same as Nikon's speedlights.

I can't recall but if you buy a short synch cable (you can buy them here on amazon for about $5 each) then the question is moot. Because you can hang the flash trigger where ever you want or need to so its not in the way. I have several soft boxes and use that solution all the time to get my flash to fit and function properly

I'm not sure what to tell you on that one. But it is a manual flash. Plug-in a trigger and take some test shots with brightness settings and you will get dialed in pretty quick. Do you have any other specific questions that you need help with?

This is a complex flash unit, may be a challenge to learn for someone with little experience. Might want to start with a SB 800. Otherwise set in TTL and forget. If pictures are not what you want, there are lots of Internet site to offer specific assistance such as Ugly Hedgehog. Eventually you will find Nikon flash units are really good for difficult lighting situations.

Hey! I use Paul C Buff "White Lightening" strobes. They are affordable and work amazing. They are also located in Nashville where I live so convenient! Great soft boxes! Follow me on Instagram if you want to see work with them! @C_TheLove
