Have NPT-4 &amp; the YN560 ii. Flash works with the cable that came with the NPT-4, but not as Wireless. Why? Wireless is selected as Sony flash mode.

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.

Some possible reasons; do you have the channels set to the same on both units? To test that, when the transmitter button is pushed, the red light on the receiver should blink. If they do, then the units are talking to each other. Next check to make sure the batteries are charged.Replace the batteries, both and test again. Lastly make sure the YN-560 is set to M (manual). Attach the flash to the receiver, and see if the transmitter will fire it. Both the flash and the receiver should light up (flash and red light). Lastly check to make sure the YB-560 will fire when attached to the hot shoe of the camera. If all the fails, well I have no idea.

Hello, this is a manual only flash similar to the Neewer TT560 but has a built in radio transmitter. I have 4 version III and one version II and having thebuilt in wireless is great feature worth the extra money in my opinion. I use a YN603 transmitter on my 5Dmk3 and it works great at 1/160 sec exposure. There are rumors of a new version YN603 that will allow you to change power setting with the YN560 III. If this is true the YN560 III and new YN603 will be a powerful combination.

Looks like Canon PowerShot SX50 has a standard hot shoe so it should work with LumoPro (this is manual flash so no TTL.) I don't know about Cactus Wireless V5, I looked at the picture of it and I believe it should work. I am using CowboyStudio NPT-04 4 Channel Wireless Hot Shoe Flash Trigger Receiver and it works flawless with my studio strobes and LumoPro LP180.

The revised firmware version does work, according to New Harbor. The first firmware version, of which I am a recipient, does not. New Harbor contacted me directly and immediately when they discovered the problem and offered to swap out my flash for one that works with the T3 series. Should you receive one that doesn't work, I believe that New Harbor will work diligently to rectify it. However, I'm also satisfied that they'll have the issue fixed on any flash you order from them. Hope this helps, Robert~

I have the 568 but use it only as an off camera flash, not remotely, or controlled remotely. I am sorry but I do know anything about their remote control system. If you go to their website, you will find a PDF on this flash. Their manuals are not very good, but it might help. Where are you located. My e-mail is cthahn@tampabay.rr.com if you want any more infomation.

No. You need a second yn622n-tx connected to the off camera flash for it to receive the wireless signal from the yn622n-tx connected to your camera. I don't recommend this flash (YN-568EX) the battery compartment cover retention tab broke on the two I purchased after the third battery change

If the flash is TTL, It will work in TTL, but if the flash is manual only, it will work only in manual mode. This cable is nothing but an extension of your camera's hot shoe, so whatever and however any flash works on that will work on this.

It should work with just about any flash. It's a very simple unit. But if you have a 600 EX-RT, I'd consider going with a wireless transmitter that supports ETTL like the ST-E2/E3 or even the Yongnuo ST-E2.

Hi Jerome,I own all canon flashes and they work great. As far as compatabiliy with your yn-565ex check with Yongnuo's website at Yongnuo.eu

Thanks NutMac. I just got the Canon XSi so I'm guessing that would control this flash (being very new itself). The one thing I didn't consider before was that the price of this new 430EX II will be at list price for a while, making it a lot more expensive that the current model! That will put it out of my price range, so I guess I'm sticking with the older technology for now! Thanks again,Stew

I purchased the NPT-04 for my Cannon camera. The flashes I have (old Vivitar-Late 70's, a KMart Focal directional early 80's, and another Vivitar from the late 80's) all work with my Canon camera when I put it directly on the body. So if it works on your Canon Body, it will probably work on the NPT-04. Make sure that all the batteries are good and the switch config is the same (combo of on & off). I did find that you have to turn the NPT off make the switch changes then turn back on for the conf to take effect. But it's a rock solid device for me. I don't know or own a tt560. Hope this helps you.

Hi there -- this may be irrelevant, but they're asking me to communicate. I never used Canon, bought this slave to enable me to use auxiliary flash with a Fuji 3D camera. The idea is this: Most today's hi-tech flashes emit a series of light impulses to pre-evaluate the scene, the pop responsible for actual exposure (when the shutter opens) being the last one. To use an external slave flash you need either turn off all camera's pre-flashes (switch it to 'dumb' mode -- impossible with my Fuji) or use a slave that will ignore pre-flashes, such as this unit. That's why I bought it and it works for me. Try to read the manual for your Canon and see what your options are. It always helps to have a clear understanding what goes on. Cheers! M.B.

First yes it has ettl but it has to be on the camera. If you want ettl to work off camera then you need a tranmitter on your camera that transmitts ettl and a receiver on this flash that receives ettl. You can set up this flash as a slave,meaning another flash will make this flash yn568ex go off without having any receiver on it. But it will not be ettl. It is ,I think, supposed to speak to ext flashes if they are built to do this. Don't have another yn568ex to do this yet. Hope this help DM

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.)

First make sure everything is on the SAME channel and GROUP. You have to make that change on both the TX and the N's. Then make sure your flashes are in TTL mode themselves - they always have to be in TTL mode for the communication to work.

You are going to need either a cord http://www.amazon.com/Canon-OC-E3-Camera-Shoe-Cord/dp/B000OEP3F4/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1370724162&sr=8-5&keywords=canon+external+flash+cord or a wireless solution. Something like this http://www.amazon.com/YONGNUO-RF-602-2-4GHz-Wireless-Trigger/dp/B003ARRAA8/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1370724230&sr=1-4&keywords=yongnuo+canon+trigger I got both. Both do the job. Cord is a bit more reliable because wireless might get interference once in a while.

Yeah. I use mine with remote wireless triggers all the time. I really like the flash. It works great on the hot shoe in manual or ettl and the wireless remote has only missed a couple of times but more due to the trigger than the flash. It's a solid flash
