I realize this is probably a stupid question but how exactly do these work as a "wireless" shutter release. are the trigger/receivers interchangeable
2072492
Connect the shutter release cable to your transceiver that's attached to your camera hotshoe then set both transceivers to TRX. Yes they are interchangeable.
2072493
yes, they are are identical. one can be setup as a trigger or a receiver. You can buy more and have one as trigger and many as receivers. there are dip switches to stay on the same channel.
2072494
My understanding of this operation is that one unit is connected via wire to the camera and the other triggers it to send a "shutter release" command. I'm not a Nikon user and haven't yet tried the shutter release function on my camera.
2072495
Yes they are interchangeable. There is an interface that come with the transceivers that allow this. Very simple!
2072496
The box comes with 1 cord and triggers. put one trigger in/on the hot shoe of your camera. attach the cord to the trigger on the hot shoe of your camera. attach the other end of the cord to the camera body. turn on the camera, and both triggers. hold the 2nd trigger in your hand. Press the button on the trigger in your hand. The trigger on the camera receives the signal and sends the signal through the cord to the camera and forces the camera to fire.
2072497
Both work as receiver and transmitter. Put one on your hotshoe and connect it with the supplied cord to the cable release port on the camera. Fire the camera with the other unit. There is a long range on these units. Different cameras use different cables. Make sure you order the correct one. My D800 used the N1 and my D610 users tyne N3. Look closely at the description to order the correct one.

Good Morning, I have Yongnuo 560II and Nikon D3200, this products work with both
2072499
yes theyre interchangeable. they each have a selector switch to make it transmit ter or reciever. the reciever, you'll connect with an included cord into the jack on the side of camera thats for an external wired shutter button. then press button on transmitter.

Here's the scoop: The Canon T3 does not have a built-in RECEIVER to act upon infrared or radio transmitted signals.If you want wireless shutter release, you have to buy a system having both TRANSMITTER and RECEIVER. The RECEIVER mounts on the T3's hotshoe, connecting it to the camera's innards. I'm awaiting my system : )

Absolutely, the firmware more than likely is outdated and you will need to upload it from a windows based computer. That's the only real drawback to this product. Yongnuo has yet to develop the MAC compatible software needed to update the firmware. Otherwise this wireless trigger works like a champ. No problems with it, even when shooting in an environment where multiple shooter are firing off their own flashes.

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.

You will need a adapter to make them work. Good luck as these are great triggers

Amm does have a point. I've used it off camera with long exposures where i wanted to illuminate something in the foreground but you do have ti trigger it by pressing the test button. I took it to a camera shop and tried other wireless triggers and none of them worked. I also called Sigma and they said if i bought some $500 triggers it should work but I tried pocket wizards an that didn't work either. There are so much more options out there for Nikon an Canon users that I'd try something else if i were you. I only bought this cause Sony has a different hotshoe mount that we're limited in our choices. Amm does have a point.

I have three of these babies. One always goes on my camera hot shoe with cable attached so I can use another as a remote trigger. The third is attached to my flash. In this scenario both the remote trigger and the one on the hot shoe would be set to RX/TX and the one on the flash is set to RX. If I use two of them to trigger two flashes, both are set at RX (receive only) and the triggering one is on the hot shoe and set to transmit (RX/TX).It took me a little while to figure it out, but they work pretty good.

When I use the wireless triggers, I usually go manual. In TTL mode you can increase the exposure by using the +/- function on your camera.

It's not a TTL wireless, its just plain you can just use it as a fire only trigger, if you want ttl you would have to look at something like the new Apertures if you want cost effective TTL. These are just meat and potato triggers they work fine for that and are a good deal...

yup you got it. both triggers that you receive are transmitters AND receivers.

My Pentax K20D and AF360fgz flash can only sync at 1/180 sec. These wireless triggers worked perfectly with this sync speed on my camera and flash. I also used these triggers with my other speedlights (like old Nikon SB-15, Yongnuo YN460, etc.) without any problem. I've taken many portrait photos with these triggers without any problem. Not sure if they work higher than this.

No high speed sync. no high speed. Will work with just about any wireless trigger, but full manual. And no high speed. Other than that one limitation, bulletproof. Amazing light quality, power, ease of use, reliability, built like a freakin' tank. These have better light than my SB910's. And when the light stand falls over, the LP's aren't broken, unlike my Nikons...

This won't work with a wireless flash trigger. It is meant to trigger an external flash unit that is connected via the PC sync socket using a PC sync cable.

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.)

There are two ways: use the flash on your camera as the trigger or by using one of the included wireless remote trigger. The trigger attahces to the shoe horn on the camera. The nice piece, the triggers for the flashes are external, so if you have a set you can just plug in using the mini headphone type plug. The set has adapter for other sizes like 1/4" plug, etc.

after to read the a390 user's manual,this don't show any connection for remote shutter release cable,my answer is not,only the recommended rtm-dslr1 that is wireless infrared,any similar option will work fine.
