How do the flash fire? Is a slave needed?

There is no flash. The lights are continuous lights and you utilize the umbrellas and distance to vary the lights.

It's really easy of you havE a remote: one connects to the hot show of the camera an the other connects to the sync port of the strobe flash: however I have noticed the strobes are " slave " flashes.... So when it detects a flash I. The room, the strobes will fire

I use mine as a slave flash so the answer would be yes. You do need a slave adapter to use as the trigger, attached to the base of the flash. They are inexpensive to purchase.

There is another option with this strobe. The flash will trigger from either another strobe/flash or an infrared trigger. A lot of cameras (mine included) has the ability to flash with infrared light so there is no attached light in the image. The flashes are triggered by that light when in slave mode. In simplest terms, if the flash is wired to the camera, it is a master. If it is off camera, it is a slave unit, regardless of what triggering method used.

They are built lie a brick outhouse. They just take abuse and keep going and going and going. for a hundred bucks less, you could get the Yongnuos, but for a full manual, completely reliable every time workhorse - this is the flash.

Probably, yes... BUT don't do it. There's no way to work a flash.. not even with fiber optics because they never accommodated for the pop up flash on these cameras... no room in the housing. Means you need to manually work a slave strobe.. no fun :(

You can remote 1 (one) flash without it, but if you use two or three flashes, it is required. Hope this helped.

Two transceivers are needed. One residing on the camera "hotshoe" to transmit the signal, and one attached to the remote flash to receive the signal to fire flash.

They sell one or as a set of two pocket wizards. You need two. One for the camera to send the signal and a second one to received and set off the flash.

The flash is fairly quick, but overheats if you shoot too quickly(10 shots in secession at full power)Full manual, no auto.Although it does have a slave mode.

Yes. These only trigger the flashes firing, it doesn't control the amount of power that each flash uses.

You could set two of the speed lights to slave and they should fire on the flash of the master which would be connected to a pocket wizard. A pocket wizard connected to each light will also work well.

No, it can only be used as an "On Camera" flash, or "Off Camera" using a remote cord. It does NOT have remote "Slave" capability.

You can set each one if this triggers as you like to, if you want to have one as transmitter the rest if them have to be set as receivers and they will trigger the flash, hope this help I have 3 and I use one as a master the other 2 as slaves and I can have a set up of 3 lights using the one in camera if I need to and 2 off camera flashes with the other 2 set up as a receivers.

No, you can only fire one flash per device. However, if you have slave capabilities on your flash you can use that instead of using a trigger.

You need to use a 100k ohm resistor. The flasher requires a specific resistance To operate a bimetallic strip in the flasher properly. When resistance is lowered as in the case of LED's the current goes up and the strip heat very quickly thus the rapid flashing.

No you have to manually lift it up. I will not flash unless it in the up position.
