I bought it for my canon rebel t3i,&amp; when I turn it on the light flickers on then off. Is it suppose to do that? I cant tell if its working either..

The light should stay on. ..could be from a dead battery, make sure to take the battery out between using otherwise it will die really quickly.

You need an infrared source of light. From what I have read most flashes also generate some IR light but it is not designed. I've read you can also buy IR bulbs from various sources. You just need to make sure that whatever light source you have generates it above 720nm for this filter. You will need a pretty bright light for this to work at night. Even in broad daylight I still had to hold the shutter open for 20 seconds to get enough IR to hit the sensor. Ideally it would be cool to get an IR flash if there is such a thing.

It must be defective because mine works all of the time. Since I have had the camera I only had one incident. I unplugged the camera and restarted it and have never had another problem.

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.

I actually had the same issue. What I did was check the connection to the tail light and noticed the connection there was bad, it has to be connected very tight. I also secured the connection in the back of the radio by placing tape on the back to hold it tight in the radio. If there was any bump, it would flicker. Also, I tightned down the screws that help the camera to the license plate. Any kind of movement will cause a flicker. Hope this helps.

I'm sorry, I don't remember for certain how mine worked...or didn't work. I sent it back after about an hour of trying to get it to even be recognized by my computer there was very little (if anything) that DID work the way it was supposed to. I suggest you do the same. Return it and remember...most of the time...you get what you pay for. I ended up buying a very nice camera I'm pleased with on ebay for something like $20-$30. Good luck.

Mine ate batteries as well, a lot sooner than yours. Check the reviews - most are excellent, but there are a few of us who have had battery problems. See if Canon will send you a new model.

This is a setting on your camera. look in your user manual under remote control shooting. It's a setting that I had to change on my camera. for Cannon Rebel t3i I had to change the setting from Single to "self timer/remote". I hope this helps

Mine arrived with a cable that wouldn't fit my T3i. I don't know if the fitting on the camera is the same for all Canons. Fortunately Vanguard's customer service was easy to reach, and they sent me a new cable at no charge--and that one works. Obviously I can't promise you a free cable, but they were very nice about it to me.

I have the same camera, Canon T3i, and had no problem with the reverse ring. Have you tried both sides of the ring on your camera? It is a boit confusing at first, but keep fooling with it and you should be able to solve the problem.

Not sure what exactly you mean but I would suggest tightening the light and taping the metal peice that holds the lense in place so it doesn't rattle loose. Also the part where the light snaps into the mount tebds to connect loosely. You could try taping it or permenently gluing it in place in order to fix the loose connection. Also be aware that there is no indicator that warns you of a low battery so always hace it charge over night before you use it. Otherwise you might wind up ob the otherside of town and have the light suddenly go black like I did. Not fun riding along a busy road with no front light. That was an interesting ride home to say the least. I'm just glad it died before I hit the offroad trail around the lake that I had planned on riding around!

I was about to suggest first checking if the battery is inserted in the right position too. When the battery is charging there is a light in the camera. Also...because it happened to me: do you press the on-off button? If your camera is new check if the battery does not have a plastic little tapeon the poles that would originaly have to avoid leaking power. Good luck!

I bought this remote for my a7R, and it works perfect! I did happen to buy my wife the a6000 for Christmas, but I haven't thought about using the remote with that camera. I'll give it a shot, and see what happens, and get back to you. Just have to ask... Did you go into camera settings under remote, and turn that feature on? If not, that could be the issue? Btw, no light is supposed to turn on on the remote.

I bought this flash to go on a Canon Rebel T4i. After the first couple of months I could not get it to work at all. The flash would not flash etc... I took the camera and flash to the local camera shop and was told that Canon camera's are very persnickety in regards to the flash. They just don't communicate with an off brand flash. I bought a Canon flash and have had no more problems at all.

I corrected the problem on my camera. To do this, I went to MENU, selected SETUP (third menu on left), then went to page 2. Under LCD MODE, press the right MENU Toggle button. It is probably set to OFF. Set it on the next item down which is a sqare with an A and a star in it. That sets the LCD to the Auto light mode. That took care of my problem. Now when I take a flash it doesn't get dark. In looking at the photos on my computer, the photos looked ok. They weren't dark. It is just a LCD problem. That took care of it for me. Try that one time.

Have you tried puttiing your camera on the two second timer. It works perfect on my two second timer. It would not work on my Canon 70D until I used one of the timers. Dave

My light (green) stay's on when charging. It goes off when complete. Mine only blinks when the battery is low. It sounds as if your battery might be faulty.I never use tech support on anything. They usually know less about their products than we do!
