Does it work from PC port to Hot shoe (to fire a speedlite)? I have a radio trigger receiver with one hot shoe and one PC sync output. I would like to trigger two Canon 430EX speedlites which do not have PC port. By connecting PC port from the radio...

It should. Sounds like the same thing I am doing. Only problem is, you will not have electronic exposure control on the remote flash, only trigger.

Yes, this set should work with any external flash that connects to a hot-shoe. The only thing it does is send a signal from the transmitter to the receiver which in turn triggers the flash. Just be certain that you flip the small on/off switch on the receiver to on, and the channel switches must have the same settings selected on the transmitter and receiver.

I have a Canon XS and I use the CowboyStudio Wireless Trigger set with a Trigger and Receiver that work on external flash with these stands. The part on the top of the picture hold the speedlites well. I don't use any cords just the triggers and it works fine. This is just the stands for the flash (plus the umbrellas and case of course) but I've had them for a while and have yet to run into any problems. Hope that helped you some.

Most pocket wizards that I've seen (mainly yours) connect to a flash using the 3.5mm jack. This kit will work for most flashes but the pocket wizards will have to hang or be strapped down using rubber bands or velcro. I cheaped out to purchased the Yongnuo Yn-622C. These triggers mount on the bracket and I mount my speedlites onto them. Hope that helps.

I am using inexpensive triggers from cowboy studio. The trigger should be universal to fit in this hot shoe adapter and the receiver will depend on the brand/mount of your flash.Take a look on these links:CowboyStudio NPT-04 4 Channel Wireless Trigger for External Speelights with 1 Trigger and 2 Receivers (NPT-04+extra receiver)http://www.cowboystudio.com/category_s/460.htm

These are very basic you just put the universal transmitter on your hot shoe. The Receiver you have a Cord you can use with some flashes or you use the generic hot shoe Speed Light on them. These are mostly get for the hobbyist or begging Photographer. If your wanting Syncing then you will need to go for a different setup...

I'm not familiar with your camera but the NPT-04 trigger should work on any Hot Shoe equipped camera. My NPT-04 worked indoors fairly well but it's performance outdoors was not reliable. I finally broke down and bought Pocket Wizard triggers. They work every time, everywhere.

I use Nikon but when I attach a flash to my hot shoe, I plug the transmitter into my Nikon flash via the pc synch cord. When I click, my on camera flash flashes and it activates the transmitter to set off any studio flashes that I have connected. All in synch with my shutter. I don't have a way to plug a receiver into my Nikon flash to be activated by a transmitter attached to my hot shoe.

I use Canon 600 speedlights on the Rapid Box as it comes with an adapter which fits with most speedlights and even the bigger ones like the Canon 600. However, it is a tight fit for the 600 and using it with a hotshoe trigger might create problems (I use the Canon ST-E3-RT to control the flash). Some radio transmitters will work as they can be hung by the side. Hope this helps.

is to conect directly the hot shoe with the trigger or flash through a long cable. In my case I used it to conect the trigger of the cowboy system because it wasnt make it good contact . :)

Yes. Each connected flash behaves as if directly on the hot shoe. I have used four flashes concurrently this way and results are perfect. Ittl ore fires all of them and behaves as if a more powerful flash were used. I am a Nikon user.

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.

Actually, I have done it. If the 430EXii is in slave mode and the red part of the flash is pointed towards any other flash, the 430EXii will fire if the original flash is powerful/close enough. Happy shooting.

You do not need a hot shoe adapter for the trigger. It can fit on Sony A37 directly. For the flash, you need an adapter if it can not directly fit on your camera. Mochalight

The hot shoe is only used to position the reflector at its focal point relative to the flash. So, if you can affix it some how at the right spot, it will work.Duct tape? Having said that, refer to Anielkoemar's info, as well.

The trigger will work on any camera that has a hot shoe. I have this unit and although it is affordable it is not made with any quality. One of the jacks broke off inside my strobe on the first use just by pulling it out when I was finished.

The answer is yes and no. Your camera has just one connector on the hot shoe and the EF-20 requires 4 connectors to use its TTL flash capabilities. That said it should fire in manual but only on full power. You need to look for a flash on Amazon that has a sensor built in to take advantage of its capabilities like Metz or Vivitar.
