To utilize TTL capability, do i need a flash on top of transmitter? Or just transmitter can work with TTL system to trigger my only flash off-camera?

This product does not actually use TTL. If you have the transmitter attached to the camera and the flash attached on top of that, they basically connected the wires to allow the camera's TTL signal to pass through to that flash only. It will not pass TTL to any remote flash. I recommend the Yongnuo YN-622C if you want to use TTL.

If your flash has a hotshoe it will work. It won't send TTL information, but that doesn't bother me as I shoot so much in manual anyway and like to be in control of my exposure.

I can't think of any feasible reason why that would be so. Since you're not using a dedicated TTL flash, there's only one contact being utilized on the camera hot shoe to trigger the flash.

You need to set your camera to E-TTL and use a compatible flash if you want automatic setting of flash power by the camera. If you want manual control, set it to manual. The settings are in: External flash func. setting > Flash mode

You can use it but only in Manual Mode! TTL Will not work, any kind of flash, canon, nikon or the new hot shoe sony's, but i recomend to you the Yongnuo

Any feature that is on the back of the flash unit will work (power output, tilt, etc). It will not handle ttl or fp mode.

I'm sorry, I don't entirely understand your question- hopefully this answers it though!There are 3 options, "off, tx, trx" Off, of course, is "off." "TX" is what you want to have the trigger on your camera set to, for lack of better wording, it's the "transmitter" switch. Going off of that, the "TRX" is the "receiver" and it what you want the triggers on your flashes to be set to. Hope that helps!

Will it fire? Yes. Will it work in full TTL Auto Mode? I don't think so. I use these in slaved multiple flash situations and they function beautifully for that purpose. There is also a newer version of this flash but the previous version is also being sold I think. If you do buy, make sure you get the newer version. Would advise getting advice from someone who can address a solution your needs and knowledge level before you buy. Good luck!

The cable that I received only supports TTL. I just found this out yesterday while on an important shoot. I am going to buy a different cable now.

It should work for any flash that has a manual mode. I do not know if TTL would work, but you can set flash power manual, and it will work!

This is a "dumb" trigger. It has no TTL capability. So you would need to use the flashes in manual mode.

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

No TTL, that is correct. But I put an Altura flash (about $40) on this shoe, put that combination on my 5N, and it works beautifully in Manual on-camera function. I have not tried it yet as a slave unit on a tripod.

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

No, I have not been able to make my D3200 work with SB-500 as remote flash. Transmitter (camera side) in Manual mode, it does trigger SB-500, however, power adjustment (1/2, 1/4, etc.) in the camera does not change output of SB-500 (I assume it stays at 1/1 no matter what). Transmitter in TTL mode, it wouldn't even trigger.

Yes, it does. I have the Canon t3i with the builtin optical triggers and works well. The menu allows to select both the canon as well as nikon wirelesd ttl slave modes. On cam it is a manual flash and does not support ttl.

No, the TTL function is only if mounted directly on the camera. Remote function requires manual setting.
