Can you use with a slave flash?

Yes, you can. If you pretend to use a radio flash, be aware of the fact that you won´t be able bend the softbox much.

You are correct. Mount one on the camera, and connect one to the flash as long as has a compatible input.

Nope, the remote flashes are sync only - fire signal only. Whatever setting they are set to they will fire, must change them manually on flash. The transmitter on the camera is ETTL hotshoe, so that might work for that one (maybe), but not the others.

Yes, it is probably more useful as a slave light than as a main flash. Honestly I thought it was a piece of junk and sold it to someone for 50 bucks, he was not happy with it and wanted to return it to me. It really just does not work well with the more advanced Nikons. It does not seem to react as fast as the camera.

Yes you can use more than one flash per unit. But you must get a special Y-sync cable so it connects to two flashes at once. Easily done with that cable.

It will work as they are not attached room the same port. This remote is a trigger for shutter not for flash. So yes you can run both at same time.

If the Pocket Wizard has a sync cord, yes. Otherwise, these units also Can be triggered by another flash, or with infared.

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.

If you want to use the YN568ex as a master flash it won't work as it works only as a slave flash I would suggest getting the YN568ex II same model but updated and can be used as master flash to set off other flashes.

A slave flash is a second flash that can be used in photography to fill in more light or light from a different location then where the camera sits. They can be connected to the camera, but they are usually mounted on a second tripod or stand and are triggered by a sensor module that "sees" the primary camera flash. Within a millisecond, the sensor module triggers the second (slave) flash that is used for more effect than just the primary camera flash, which is pointed directly at the subject. I have used some generalities here but I hope it clarifies what a slave flash is and under what circumstances it would be used for.

Dear Mr. Young, I can only say "I do not know" and suggest you call Nikon service. They have been quite helpful and willing to help in the past. This is a great flash as I use it, set for slave with flash output set manually by trial.

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

Yes you could do that. Just make sure you turn it on and off quickly to avoid any extra power to the flash adjuster.

I mount my camera on a bracket and use the flash with a radio slave bought from amazon. It works fine.i believe the radio slave is made by cowboy. Not too expensive. When I used the flash on the camera, I had some issues

It works as a slave with any flash camera, your onboard flash triggers it's flash. It does Not work with the cameras built in flash shoe; it mounts on the included bar which mounts to the cameras tripod screw hole.

You can use it either way. You can buy radio triggers (an additional item) or you can use the built in optical slave (S1 or S2 mode); An optical slave requires another flash to trigger it.
