I have a portrait session coming up Sunday, I need to make sure the strobe is compatible with my Sony a35 slr camera? It does not fire with Alien Bees

It should fire with any with any camera. Just buy some radio triggers that compatible with Sony and it should work fine. Or use the flash on top of your camera to trigger the strobes by putting the strobes in slave mode.

it worked on my canon t4i, however using my old vivatar 283 flash, I also tried it on my Sunpack pro strobe NO WORKIE... it fired no sync, i talk to a pro at a camera store and he said its a crap shoot whether or not it'll sync --- problem it fired the flash and didn't blow up my t4 BUY i could NOT get the old flash to sync with the digital shutter speed, I tried two twice on different days changing all kinds of settings and never got the flash to sync, it fired the flash but not had NO affect. i put the bug in a drawer and my kid can throw it away in a few years..... ya want it.Phil. it worked on my canon t4i, however using my old vivatar 283 flash, I also tried it on my Sunpack pro strobe NO WORKIE... it fired no sync, i talk to a pro at a camera store and he said its a crap shoot whether or not it'll sync --- problem it fired the flash and didn't blow up my t4 BUY i could NOT get the old flash to sync with the digital shutter speed, I tried two twice on different days changing all kinds of settings and never got the flash to sync, it fired the flash but not had NO affect. i put the bug in a drawer and my kid can throw it away in a few years..... ya want it.Phil.

There are receptors that go on the back of the strobes that if you are using a external flash on your camera they will work automatically. If you are using the internal flash the is a trigger that plugs into the camera or attaches to the flash mount

I have a D7000 and these work great. But you should be able to trigger the Alien Bee with just the flash.

Hi James, it's not clear from the Amazon mail what item you're inquiring about but I suspect it's the Omni Bounce flash diffuser? All I can say, is that if an item like this states that it's designed for the Nikon SB 600, then I doubt it can work on the Sony! Sorry I can't be more helpful.

I have an A6000 with the same Sony multi interface hotshoe. The flash itself will fire from the hotshoe, but the wireless triggers that go with it will not. I am trying to find a solution for this problem, using either adapters or a yn rf-602 trigger in between. I've read on some forums that the rf-602 and rf-603II triggers work. You'd just have to put the run 2 triggers.Post a solution if you find one. The flashes are great, btw.

I wouldn't recommend it, I had nothing but trouble with the HVLF60M flash. It overheated constantly for no apparent reason. I would go with one of Sony's less expensive units, or buy a third-party flash.

Yes. The battery life is excellent. It lasts hours even with heavy use of the strobe.

No it is not. I replaced my A300 with the A58 and cannot use my remote shutter release or my flash. The hot shoe has changed, and Sony has gone to an electronic shutter release. I have not invested in a new shutter release. I am hoping my sister can use my items with her A330.

No, the Sony Alpha HVL-F20M flash will not work on the Sony A35. The flash will mount to ANY Sony Digital Camera with a Multi Interface Shoe (ISO).

That is not normal. If it's in the return period, return it as defective. Otherwise, if it's under warranty see if you can get it replaced. If you can't return it or get it replaced, does it show the same behavior when it is set as the master as well as when it is set as a slave (assuming it's in slave mode when it triggers on its own)? You should try all the different settings on the strobe to see if it will work properly from at least one setting or combination of settings that might make it useable.

Yes, works through the hotshoe connection. It works perfectly with my Canon 430/580's, 560'sand Nikon SB's, Neewer and Yougono via hotshoe, and my Studio strobes when connected via sync cable. You can fire different strobes set to different channels, or all of them on one channel. but no TTL data. - lyarks.com

Flashes and cameras are finicky. I had the bowew sfd720 and it did not work well with my canon. I took it to the local camera shop and he explained that the camera and flash were not communicating. Once I bought a canon flash, I had no problems. I also tried the bower on my Sony and it did not communicate with it at all. If I were you and you have a serious passion for photography, I would spend the money and buy a sony flash to work on your sony camera.

good morning. The neewer strobe c-250 can work with all cameras. You can use this strobes without trigger because has a sensor for flash, if u want to use a trigger u should to buy the zapata that u need for your camera and the neewer trigger.

I don't think the SB-28 works in TTL mode with digital SLRs. You'd have to use A or Manual mode. Might be time to upgrade your flash.

This is the discription on the flash. (Polaroid PL-108AF Studio Series Digital Auto Focus / TTL Shoe Mount Flash For The Sony Alpha NEX-7, NEX-6, SLT-A33, SLT-A35, SLT-A37, SLT-A55, SLT-A57, SLT-A65, SLT-A77, SLT-A99, A100, A200, A230, A290, A300, A330, A350, A380, A390, A450, A500, A560, A550, A700, A850, A900, DSC-RX1 Digital SLR Cameras). I did the search on amazon for slt-a65 and the sony alpha a65 came up as well as sony alpha slt-a65. I don't own one but that to me would be as close to a yes as I can get.
