Can you mount the canon st-e3-rt canon transmitter on the PW hotshoe, so you can control the speedlights ai-assist for focusing, or can the PW do that

The Pocket wizard does this for certain. FYI Pocket wizard customer service is outstanding for technical questions. They take a couple days to get back to you, but you have an expert on the line when they do, not someone with 1 hour of training. Cheers

No, you would not be able to control or use the speedlights focus assist beam like that. The hot shoe on the Mini TT1 is for either the Pockwizard AC3 or for a speedlight.

Yes. Exactly. You can use one at the camera'a hot shoe and one other at each flash being controlled by it. Just stop looking and buy it. There's not even a closer solution available at the same price range.

works great with D7000, wireless receiver has hot foot stand, but no connect to camera through hotshoe, just a mount to hold. You can try to get another hotshoe to mount to tripod. I would not let it hang, will loosen GPS port on side. Yes flash will fire when wired with remote timer to camera. timer has worked great for me.

Yes. You might want to take a look and considert the new canon flash 600 that works as a master and a Radio control and can conttol al canon flashs as slaves

My CanonT3i has a built in wireless flash trigger. If configured properly, will my T3i transmitter trigger this receiver?

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. Cheers Rene

you will need a strobe remote trigger, which includes the transmitter and receiver. If your camera has a pc outlet you can use the supplied sync cord, if you do not have a pc outlet you can purchase an adapter for the hotshoe with a pc outlet. it's good to be able to use both in case one fails during a shoot.

yes. trigger mounts on hot shoe, receivers are external and plug into the back of the strobes

See the other answers about auto-focus. This camera comes with a small flash which attaches to the hotshoe and is powered by your camera's battery. It is as powerful as most cameras' built in flashes. If you are not using an optional (and not included) electronic viewfinder, you can keep the flash mounted all the time.

Yes, as far as I know, Canon never changes their hotshoe, if they did, all of their speedlites won't work and they would have to make a new speedlite for every model, this includes triggers.

Not sure, but would assume so. The transmitter mounts on the hot shoe and sends the signal from the camera to the receiver with the flash mounted on it. Wish I could be of more assistance.

I don't know about that because I haven't tried it but it says it does and comes with a wire to connect the transmitter to the camera. This trigger is quite awesome though, having never failed to fire for me even through cars and walls up to 50ft away. There is a hotshoe mount on top of the transmitter to mount a flash so I assume it does. Also in the package is an adapter plug for monolights which I find useful as I doe on-location photography only with a battery pack powered strobe paired with my small Speedlite. Fotodiox PRO Pocket Wonders have proved to be better than I ever expected. For the price they can't be beat!

I believe you can.Cowboystudio NPT-04 4 Channel Wireless Hot Shoe Flash Receiver for Canon EOS, Nikon, Olympus and Pentax Flashes Other productsAnd it should work well with the trigger you have (as I have two different receivers and triggers working together.)

Set everything up (flash connected to NPT-04 receiver, everything turned on), and then hit the test button that's on top of the transmitter. Does the flash fire? If it does, then the transmitter is talking to the receiver, and the receiver is talking to the flash. So the problem is the camera isn't talking to the transmitter. You didn't say what camera you're using. On my Sony cameras, "wireless" is for using the pop-up flash to control and fire other flashes. You can do wireless TTL, and use the pop-up flash to be the "commander". That's what "wireless" flash mode is. Obviously that's not what you're doing. So change it to rear or fill flash mode, and see if that works.

No I don't think you can do that. The hot shoe just gives you a simple contact to fire the flash. If you mount an electronic viewfinder on top of it, I am pretty sure it won't have all the contact points needed for the viewfinder. You could mount another flash on top of the hot shoe adaptor, though. But almost certainly not the electronic viewfinder.

Fred, I have no idea. I bought it for a different reason. My Sony RX100 lacks a hotshoe. I bought this Ez-Foto 1/4-20, unscrewed the chrome 'hotshoe' top part, and epoxy-glued it onto the top plate of the RX100. Works perfectly to hold an eye-level OVF... an Optical View Finder... for very bright days where the LCD screen isn't much good. Of course, this doesn't make my fix a 'real' hotshoe... obviously, no flash connection. But it works for the fast-moving-subject in bright daylight problem.

I don't have that particular flash, but if recievers and transmitters are on the same channel the flash should fire. If you have a simple transceiver the flashes will not recieve any of Auto (TTL, HSS, etc) functions from the camera. They will have to be set manually. Another option is to use the built in optic trigger. There is some control from the camera but is limited to line of sight.
