I have a Canon T3i and an old flash that the camera doesn't recognize, will this allow the old flash to be used?

Yes...This little hot shoe has a metal contact at both its bottom and top that allows any brand flashes that has a contact to this hot shoe fire off when camera shut release button is pressed.However, for using your old flash with this hot shoe, your old flash must have a manual output settings. That's being said, you can NOT use the camera's TTL flash control; you have to use manual control to tell it how much light it should be firing off. Good luck, John

That's difficult to say, but my guess would be no. Apart from the fact that it needs to be a flash that will respond to the camera initiation, this device is pretty much a piece of crap. Your T3i also doesn't have a lock for the flash, it relies on the lock on the flash device. This item doesn't have one. So even if it works, it will just be sitting on top of your camera. My advice is to pass. If you really want a decent flash at a bargain price, I use the Yongnuo YN-560 II http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0079M711S/ref=oh_details_o08_s00_i02?ie=UTF8&psc=1. I've used this for some time now, and it's a great unit. Scott Kelby (Kelbytraining.com and Photoshopuser.com) actually includes this in his "Pro Lighting on a budget" recommendation list.

I don't know. I use it for a second flash (vivitar) with my Nikon and it works.

Although I can't say for sure (I have the T3 and not the T3i), I'm 99% sure it will be fine - the design of the flash and hot shoe of the T3 and the T3i is identical. If you'd like take a look at this site for a comparison:T3 design:http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/T3/T3FLASH.HTMAnd the T3i:http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/T3I/T3IFLASH.HTMSorry I can't be more help! If you're on the fence, id say go for it - this thing is really incredible and has made a huge difference for my pictures...

No. This is the opposite of what you would need. Look for a Sony to Nikon flash converter.A word of caution: Using an older flash on a newer camera runs a higher risk of short short circuiting the camera.

I am not familiar with the Canon t3i but if it has a "hot shoe", my guess is that the ring flash would work. Although the unit is made by Polaroid, it works with my Nikon DSLR's.

As this is an automatic flash, it should work automatically when mounted properly onto your Canon Rebel T3i. Keep in mind, this is not an intelligent TTL dedicated flash and will not adjust to your environmental lighting conditions.

I have a canon t3i and I had to get a thread adapter in order to be able to attach it to my canon I would assu.e that you would be able to use it as long as you get the adapter

I have a canon T3i rebel and it worked... but I have not had any luck since the first time I used it. I have changed batteries, still does not work...

I use it with a T2i so I assume it works fine with a T3i. there are tow different models for this one for Canon and one for Nikon so make sure you order the right one.

I don't know. I am still struggling to sync my canon T4i with this flash unit and produce clear photos. Sorry.

Most likely not, I looked at a picture of your camera and it appears to have a non-standard external flash port (A port similar to the ones use by Canon/Nikon) therefore sadly I doubt it will work.

It fires on my XTi and on my 60D so it should work on a T3. That said my first flash broke early, they did replace it for free though which was nice. My second one still works I believe but it's a really noisy flash unit. You may want to consider the Yongnuo YN-560 if you don't need TTL. Or the lower powered Yongnuo with TTL.

Yes. As noted in other comments, there aren't any other camera--flash interactions other than triggering the flash. But if your old flash is like mine, it isn't capable of any other interactions.

Heather, the flash I rec'd does not fit my camera. Unfortunately, I was ill when I first rec'd it, and the time frame for returning items had run out when I tried to use it on my Cannon Rebel t-3. I would hope that you would get the light that you need. Take advantage of the lighting in the restaurant. Best of luck. Kathleen M. on March 18th.

I have the T2i and it works perfect,once you screw on the adapter and place the flash on the lense.

Im assuming thats a camera. The flash has a sync cable and slave. If your camera has a sync option it should work. If your camera has a flash it should also work set in the slave position

I do not know if it works with that kind of flash, I am using 2 flashes: Yongnuo YN 560 for Canon Nikon Pentax III and YongNuo YN-468 II E-TTL Speedlite With LCD Display, for Canon 50D 40D T1i Xsi XS, and works perfectly. And my camera is canon t3i

I used it in my Canon T3i. If you can inter-change the battery that fits with the Rebel T3i, it will fit your camera perfectly. I'm thinking you can.
