How do I connect the 2 studio flashes (SP160) and the umbrella light with the wireless trigger? I've only one receiver in the kit..

I believe you have to buy a second transmitter. I don't know why the kit comes with only one when there are two lights. You can write their support - they got back to me pretty quickly.

Do these lights not have slave capability meaning one strobe sets off the other(s)? I assumed that's why only the 1 receiver was included...
1464817
yea.. how do i get all stobes and fill flash to work at the same time? came with one trigger/reciever? how/what are the sync cords for??

Yes you'll need 5 pocket wizards in order to get them work or,.... a cheaper way is, if you're studio lites have cell ( in which they go off with other flashes firing at the same time) you can use 2 pocket wizards one for transceiver and one for receiver.

I use the cable included in the package to connect directly between the camera and the strobe light. So it doesn't matter. I use it with an umbrella, too.

Set everything up (flash connected to NPT-04 receiver, everything turned on), and then hit the test button that's on top of the transmitter. Does the flash fire? If it does, then the transmitter is talking to the receiver, and the receiver is talking to the flash. So the problem is the camera isn't talking to the transmitter. You didn't say what camera you're using. On my Sony cameras, "wireless" is for using the pop-up flash to control and fire other flashes. You can do wireless TTL, and use the pop-up flash to be the "commander". That's what "wireless" flash mode is. Obviously that's not what you're doing. So change it to rear or fill flash mode, and see if that works.

Oliver,One piece plugs into your camera as the receiver. The othe piece is the trigger, which you use to wirelessly trigger your camera. I like to wear the trigger around my neck as a necklace.You can use flash or PocketWizards if you plug the receiver into the camera via sync cable instead of mounting it on the cam. I use it in studio with a full studio strobe setup.For those that had problems with the transmitter, I had to replace the battery once shortly after I received it. You can do that by unscrewing and dismantling the unit. It's fairly simple to put back together. Hope that helps. Oliver,One piece plugs into your camera as the receiver.

You will need two receivers. One for each flash. One transmitter will go on your camera.

ok let me give you my reconnection http://www.amazon.com/Aputure-Trigmaster-Trigger-Shutter-Release/dp/B004FLAK4Q/ref=pd_bxgy_p_img_y for trigger just incase you dont already have any, there are every cost effective and are of a good quality build.. Your will also need http://www.amazon.com/CowboyStudio-Flashlight-Umbrella-Holder-Bracket/dp/B0034WR19Y/ref=pd_bxgy_p_img_z to mount your flash to a stand and your umbrellas. if there is anything else, feel free to ask.

This won't work with a wireless flash trigger. It is meant to trigger an external flash unit that is connected via the PC sync socket using a PC sync cable.

Impact triggers should work just fine. If I remember correctly, the light came with a sync cord as well. Just connect the PC end to your receiver and the 1/4" end into the light, turn everything on and you're ready to go.

Thank you for your inquiry. These strobes are equipped with a built in slave trigger or photocell. With this feature they will fire automatically as soon as they sense another flash going off. The wireless trigger that comes with this kit will work with any camera that is equipped with a "hotshoe".

Turn them off. then hold power button and wait until the lights flashes slower alternating red and blue, then it will pair. I thought the immediate quick red/blue strobe was pairing, but it is not.

I would suggest these instead: Yongnuo YN-622C Wireless ETTL Flash Trigger Receiver Transmitter Transceiver . After purchasing the Apurture, I realized they were not ETTL and require manual settings on all the flashes.

You are correct. You'll need to buy a pair of the flash triggers when you first start out. Think of them like walkie talkies. One goes on your camera and talks to the other one thats attached to your speedlite. If you have a third flash that wants to join the party then you'll need to buy a single flash trigger and set it to the same channel as your other pair and you'll be all set. Hope that helps :)

You may need a wireless remote flash trigger, liken the NEEWER PT-16GY 16 Channels Wireless Remote Flash Speedlite Trigger for Canon SpeedLite, see it on Amazon for just $15.00, they also have very illustrative pictires.

Yes, you will need a setup that allows 2 speed lites (http://www.amazon.com/StudioPRO-Bracket-Umbrella-Socket-Photography/dp/B00HS73OII/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1419873799&sr=8-1&keywords=double+flash+bracket ) to fire together. It will be awkward putting the lights/triggers inside the umbrella tho'

The trigger does need to be on the same channel as the flash, and be on TX (Transmit.) The flash does not need a trigger, as it has the receiver build in. If all else fails, go to the Bracketing/Flash menu and set the Built-in flash to Manual, but that should not be necessary.The Flash needs to be set to Wireless, or it won't receive the wireless signal. You can set it to S1 or S2 for infrared, which would be the same as Nikon's speedlights.

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.
