I know of no reason why you would not be able to use the 580EX II with the 5D3. Go for it!

Yes. The 580 ex is a great flash. I've rented it several times and used it with my 5D mark iii. My favorite feature is that it allows for remote flash, i.e. the flash doesn't have to be connected the camera body. No matter what your flash needs are, the 580 ex will cover it. If you have the money, buy it.

Hi db,Both amazon's and bandh's customer reviews of the 580 mention that it works with the 5d, so you should likely be fine.

I had this flash and it worked fine on my canon 7D. I would think it would work fine on your camera as well. anyway, this flash was cheaply made and broke just after warranty expired. I got myself a 580EX II and never looked back

I use them with 580 EXII and they are excellent. I'd contact Pixel Power through their website and ask them directly about compatibility with the 600 EX-RT. Saying that I just found out that it is comparable according to Flash Zebra's website. http://flashzebra.com/products/0265/index.shtml

Yes, it works with 5d mark III. I have a 5d mark II I use it with.You will have to focus manually though.

Hi. It's not the camera compatibility you need to worry about. If the external flash you have is compatible with your camera (I use a 580 Ex II), then the "Better Beamer" is compatible with your camera. Since I use the 580 Ex II, I can use the flash extender on any of my Canon DSLR's. I can and have used it on a 7D, 60D, 5D Mark II, and 5D Mark III. I hope that helps.

No. The Canon 5D Mark III is a full frame camera and is not designed for the Canon EF-S line of lenses. I don't believe it will even mount on the 5D Mark III. Even if it did mount, the EF-S line is designed for the smaller APS size sensor line of Canon cameras. Thus, you would see a darkening of the corners of your image if it did mount. You need to stick to the EF line of lenses.

It is compatible with the 5D mark iiSo it should be compatible with the mark iii

I am fairly sure the only camera you can use the BG-E13 with is the 6D. The 5D mark iii uses the BG-E11.

To the best of my knowledge, this will work with the 5D Mark II, it certainly works for the 5D Mark III.

The 580 ex II speedlight most likely comes with a stand. The stand should have a 1/4" thread on the bottom, which you should be able to screw onto the Manfrotto 1/4" adapter (provided with the product - see uploaded photos). So yes you can. But the usual way is to buy an umbrella mount such as Manfrotto 026 and also a shoe mount for your flash. A nice and reasonably priced one is "Impact Umbrella Bracket with Adjustable Shoe" which can be found at B&H; web site (B&H; part num # IMUB).

Sorry... I do not know Canon 5dmiii. Do you mean Canon EOS 5D Mark III? I have my old but good Canon EOS 20D that fit perfectly into this bracket.I hope you will find the right solution for your question.

I have the older 5D and it works fine without touching the mirror. I can't speak for the Mark II, but, as I understand, the mechanism is the same.

Yes. It works on my 5d Mark iii and my Canon T1i. Compatible with all but only with the 600 EX RT speedlite.

Yes and No. It will work IF you purchase separate sync ports for your speedlights. I know the 430 does not have a pc port and am pretty sure the 580 does not either. all you need to do is go to flashzebra or call them up and they can set you up with them. they are around $15 but will allow you to use the pocket wizards. Another important question is do you want to adjust your flash power by your camera or do you want to do it manually? Pocket wizard offers a ttl trigger for speedlights. The PWIII trigger you are asking about is a "dumb" trigger as it will only trigger your flashes and you will not be able to adjust the power or use your ttl functions with it. If you just want a trigger to fire your flashes I would recommend you save some money and get the new pocket wizard Plus X triggers. they are $99 vs $140. If you want to control the power of your flashes and or use the ttl functions I would recommend the Pocket Wizard Mini TT1 and Flex TT5 systems. you can read about each of these on the pocket wizard website.

I don't have a 5d III but a T3i. I don't see why it would not work......These things are awesome....

No. You need to get a different model for your camera 5D Mark III uses BG-E11. Your camera manual has Canon tech support phone number to assist you. The battery grip vary from model to model, so double check before purchasing.
