can I use Canon 600EX-RT to control my 430EX II as a slave unit without a separate trigger?

no, you can't, you need buy a speedlite transmitter ST-E3-RT. after you buy that, you can control with transmitter.
1502294
Yes and no - Yes it works as traditional IR way, but that requires clear line of sight between two. You cannot use radio feature of 600ex-rt to trigger 430ex
1502295
Yes. It does work. Just make sure it's set to the thing that looks like a lightening bolt not the one that looks like a circle (IR instead of Radio). I'm actually looking for a transmitter that will fire the flashes instead because I don't always want the flash on my camera. No such luck.... So right now, I have a really LARGE flash style transmitter... and I rarely use the flash on my camera. I fire a 430 ex ii and a cheaper IR slaved flash.

No. I have the 430 and it doesn't work. I guess it would on optical setting but the 600 works best on radio. I haven't tried it on optical. It DOES however set off my YN 560 on slave. :) Which is $68 brand new.

Another YN-622C TTL is needed, either as a trigger or as a receiver. The 320EX flash can not act as a wireless slave neither fully works with its E-TTL feature. Alternatively, YN-622C TX can be used as a trigger for the YN-622C TTL.

Yes, I've read that sb600/900/910 function manually on the camera and using some wireless triggers, even cheap cowboy studio ones. I use a yongnuo st-e3-rt on my x-t1 and to fire a canon 600 EXRT flash and previously used it on the x-e2 so system is versatile though you might want to go to your camera shop with your flash to try it out first if you have other models of flash.

Hi Joshua,The device has a hotshoe plate, however it communicates with the camera via the pin connector. I don't see why you couldn't have another trigger in the hotshoe (ie flash trigger). The only think is that the satechi trigger will be dangling from the pun connection on the side of your camera.Maybe a dual hotshoe mount could work.CheersRene

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.

Does not work as a commander for wireless flash but I just use a slave trigger or my Apature trigermaster. There is a nice app for my Driod that is a remote trigger also.

The flash is compatible with your camera, but I'm not sure about it running as a slave if you are using a commander set up for multiple flashes. It may be fine as a slave, but I'd research it more. Stand alone, it will do well. I love mine.

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.

Hi Paul, I have the 6D and the 430EX II as well. To get them talking, you will need to put the flash into Slave mode. This is accomplished by pressing and holding the ZOOM key. You will see an icon of a flashgun with a zig-zag below it. If you press the ZOOM key repeatedly until the CH or SLAVE settings blink, you can use the +/- keys to change the channel and firing group of this flash. To take it out of Slave mode, just press and hold the ZOOM button again.

I have a 430EX II Canon flash and it works fine! Granted, I'm not using the two cold shoe mounts it comes with because my "Aputure 2.4 Ghz Trigmaster" has a shoe mount attached to it and the bottom screws into place of where the shoe mounts would be. So whether you're using the shoe mounts or just the screws under the shoe mounts to attached a flash or a wireless adapter. I promise you it will work with this product. I highly recommend. Your flash will sit on the Softbox as shown in the picture if not using another add on.

Works fine with all new Canons. Doesn't support the new radio system like the 600EX-RT, but can still be used as slave IR. Will also work fine on hot shoe of any new Canon (for ETTL and/or AF assist). I've had one 580EX (I) for years, and while it doesn't support some new features, is still a good primary or secondary flash (with IR...would have to get a newer Canon flash for RT slave).

Yes, you could purchase the WTR-B, then http://www.amazon.com/Universal-Cable-Satechi-Smart-Trigger/dp/B00BOU5RKS to use with a different camera. For further assistance, please email support@satechi.com. Thank you, Satechi Technical Support

Yes.. you need one per light + the transmitter (from the camera)If you want a cheaper alternative get the PW PlusXNote: I use PW because got 2 as gift quite some time ago and to keep compatibility, as my light set up grew. However, there's more affordable remote trigger systems out there that are very reliable (as per my fellow photographers who use them)

I have a Canon Camera and I use a Canon 430EXII and Sigma EF610 DG Super flash unit with mine with no problems.

YONGNUO YN560 IV YN-560IV Wireless Flash Speedlite Master + Slave Flash + Built-in Trigger System for Canon Nikon Pentax Olympus Fujifilm Panasonic Digital Cameras I used this one as a flash driven slave. Half the price and accepts external battery packs!

This flash can be fired in slave mode via pop-up or other flash, yes. The flash doesn't use IR and is fully manual, no TTL supported. There is a trigger available for the units that mounts into your hotshoe and fires remotely via radio frequency. The transmitter also allows you to remotely adjust the flash output power from 1/128 to 1/1 in 1/3 stop increments.

Yes, there is an optical slave (located on the top of unit close to the rear). This slave will fire the flash as long as it can 'see' another flash that as fired (your Master). I use it with various configurations, using a combination of electronic triggers and the built-in optical slave to fire all the entire setup.
