Be sure that you aren't too far away from the transmitter that is attached to the flash. The range isn't too great on these kits. Be sure to have fresh or fully charged batteries in the transmitter. Make sure that the switches that are numbered match on both the hotshoe attachment and flash transmitter. If you still run into an issue, I'd recommend updating the flash sync transmitter.

I have the same kit and used it in a photoshoot I did. It works well, once all the devices are synchronized. If the flash didn't go off, as happened to me at times, a little bit of trouble shooting can be done, by reconnecting the devices again, manually trigger the flash bulbs and checking back the transmitter settings as well as the camera. Whenever that happens to me I do just what I told you and it works. The equipment works well.

In addition to the above answers, make sure the light that has the "master" switch plug is on and is closet to you. I had issues until I figured that out, the device on the camera appears to send the signal to that one and then to the other light.

Yes. I am having the same trouble too. The card is now solid red and the video won't work on the camera. I have tried my other transmitter and it doesn't seem to work.

At the risk of stating the obvious, one of them should be labelled Transmitter and the rest, Receiver. They do look similar though but the Transmitter doesn't allow any external flash to be mounted on its hot shoe.

It also works from the hot shoe which will trigger the units. It doesn't do TTL like more costly unit does. They do make ones that do TTL. These you need to set the flash power at each remote flash. They work just fine if you can set the flash at different powers. I'm shooting animals at night and they work find for me because I need as much light as I can get for a big area. For studio work I'd get ones that do TTL and send the signal back to the sender and camera. They are cheap enough to have hanging around for special shots. I got two sets so I can control four flash units with one sender.

You have to email them and tell them what's going on with your kit you purchased and hopefully they can help you cause they didn't realy want to help me that much when I emailed them I got a bunch of excuses on why I'm haveing the problem I had and mine were with the light flickering so good luck hopefully they can help you with your problem your haveing

yes, I believe you hook the tranceiver on the hot shoe to the camera's remote and use the other as a remote to trip the shutter

If you havan't already done so, try swapping the two 622c units you have. Perhaps the one you are using for flash works better with the camera? It should work but as MW said, the unit could be defective.

The transmitter is powered by a live circuit, a hot and a neutral, it will not work on a dead circuit. When you locate the circuit with the sounder wand, turn it off then walk back to the transmitter, the red led on the transmitter should be off. If the light is not off, you haven't turned off the right breaker. Hope this helps.

Try plugging cable into your camera's flash unit while the flash unit it also turned on, and see if indicator light then comes on.

my camera still works. You may want to check and see if there is a firmware update that might solve your problem.

Just to cover the obvious, you have the cable connected from the receiver, to the camera? (Not just mounted on the shoe.) Also, there are dip switches under the batteries; the settings need to match on both the transmitter and the receiver. Hope that helps.

To troubleshoot: Make sure you put batteries in the recievers (the two bigger ones). Make sure they are On. Have them all on the same channel (the little white switches) Click the button on top of the transmitter (the smaller one) and see if it they work. Now install on your camera's hot shoe and see if it works.

The kit only consists of mounting equipment, so you would still need to purchase off-camera flashes to use for it. The kit itself is intended to support anything that mounts a standard hot shoe. You would also need to make sure that your flashes would be able to be triggered by the camera's pop-up flash, or else also purchase remote triggers.

You may have a bad cable. Disconnect power lead for 10 seconds and reconnect. Are other camera's working properly? It could also be the camera. If you can try connecting another camera and see if it does the same thing.

So far on my Pentax K1000 it flashes each time I take a picture requiring a flash, I guess that's its internal mode sending a signal thru the hotfoot.

This kit should work with any camera that has a hot shoe. I use this kit for my school photography business so it take a lot of abuse. So far for the the price it's a great system. I've fire the lights at least 10k times with no problems. I hope that helps
