Is this receiver compatible with the Nikon Commander system? I.e., can it be triggered by my D-7000 without using a cowboy studio transmitter?

I have found that this produce works with 'like' systems. For example, my canon camera with a canon flash. I have tried using it with two other branded flashes and it would not trigger. So, if you're using a Nikon with Nikon - i am almost certain you should be fine.

I'm searching all over the net for an answer to the same question. Just got this receiver yesterday and it works great! I submitted an inquiry with Yamaha Customer Support. Doesn't look like it is supported but I'll post back here when I get a response from them.

I have a D300 and have the SB800 and an SB600. They both work in the commander mode and anything else you care to name! Beautiful! If you have the money, the SB800 is the way to go. Highly recommended. Val

I do not have Nikons but so far everyone that has used my transmitters has had them work in my studio.

The PW's are transceivers, and will act both as a trigger and a slave. Attach one to the hotshoe of your D90 in receiver mode and another one to your SB700 off camera also in receiver mode, and a third will be used to trigger in your hand in transmit mode. If you only have two, then one is on your D90 in transmit mode and the other on your SB700 in receive mode. When you use your camera's shutter release button to fire your camera, it will use the PW to trigger the PW on your SB700.Hope that answers your question.

Hi Irish, Let me break into the options you have. 1. If you do not use the cable then the transceiver needs to be in the hot shoe so it can trigger all the others. 2. Connecting the cable you can use any other transceiver to trigger your camera and all the other transceivers you have. There are 3 "versions" for the Nikon. N1, N2, N3. The only difference is the cable to the camera. So when you have the right cable for your camera and you need more transceiver then just go for the best price. I got 7 of them so having a friend drop by. Then all he needs to do I put one in the hot shoe and we share the light. Or if connect the cable we can do the exact same picture but just from another angle. Yeah, I'm having fun with them. I found this on Youtube showing how it works http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrGeQhTEN5A

The transmitter is designed to be "worked through" whether it's turned on or off. I have used this system on my Nikon D3200, D300 and D70s. When the transmitter is turned off the flash unit works as if the transmitter is not there. When you turn the transmitter on, and the flash fires, it sends a signal to the receiver unit. The nice thing about this system is that you can set as many as 4 different external/remote flash with each one on a different frequency or set it to fire off 2, 3, or all 4 units at the same time. I have used this system to fire two flash units on one side of a ball room, then when I am on the other side of the room, turn those off and set the transmitter to fire off the remote flashes on the other side of the room so I not taking a photo with a flash firing off in my line of vision. The triggers have never failed. When I set up to shoot any kind of session or job I made sure the batteries are OK & working with lots of power. The only problem I have had with the receiver & transmitter has been the on/off switch. When you put the units away make sure they are off. There have been times when the units were turned on as the on/off switch brushed against the side of the case foam material. I solved the problem with a small piece of gaffers tape placed over the switch. I have recommended this specific transmitter/receiver system to many photographers, professionals & casual camera users. Good luck with your purchase.

I think people must not know what Commander mode is. :) Absolutely NO - the VK750 has no Commander-compatible options. It does have its own slave mode, but you MUST turn Commander off. Commander flashing will false trigger it out of sync, before the shutter opens.

sorry but I am not sure. I use the R1C1 with my D3 & D3S but cant see why it would not work with the d 7000 as all similar cameras function with nikons creative lighting systems.However with the 710 speedlight? seems strange question as the R1C1 has its own small flashlights? Best check out D7000 specs firat before buying to be sure.

Sorry, I don't know. I only use it with one receiver and it works great. I guess you need to ask Nyrius.

I have had this Remote attached to a D800 for some time and it works great. If you have it connected to the camera completely screwed in then only thing that you may want to check is that the selected channels on the receiver and the transmitter match exactly. If that's all Ok I would ask for a replacement. It's a great remote control so it is worth getting your problem resolved. Good Luck'

You have a number of options. You can use the optical slave and trigger it with the flash from the 6D, just don't use the preflash. You could use any of the generic Chinese 4 or 16 channel wireless triggers with the transmitter on the hot shoe since it doesn't know the difference between Nikon, Canon or any other flash other than Sony (who had to re-invent the hot shoe). If you already have a 622 transceiver/transmitter system, you can use that too. Take one of the transceivers and plug the PC end of the sync cable that comes with the strobe into the PC port on the 622 transceiver. Take the 1/4" phone end and plug that into the strobe. I'd run a loop of heavy nylon thread through the opening on the 622 and hang it on the strobe somewhere. I'd also find a short version of that sync cable too. It may be easier to find a PC to 3.5mm and then just use a 3.5mm (mono) to 1/4" (mono) adapter

I can't speak to your flash and camera specifically, but I have a D90 and an SB-700 and the transmitter works like a charm. It comes with cords but I don't need them. Hope that helps.

Works perfect with my Canon 7d. I use the remotes to trigger old school vivitar 283 strobes. The remote camera trigger works well too. As for use with the Nikon cameras, call Fotodiox. They answered my question quickly. Pat.

HiI own this flash Trigger. They are both recievers and control units. I have 4 and it doesn't matter which one I use for sending or recieving. They work great. Hope this helps. Chris

After attaching the receiver to your camera look at the front of the device. When you press the shutter button on the remote the receiver should flash a blue light telling you the unit is working. If there is no blue light then press the silver button on the front of the receiver. If that doesn't work then check that you have the dip switches on both receiver and remote set to the same settings. Beyond this I don't know what the problem would be. My unit works fine on my D800. Hope this helps.
