I have a Canon T3i -- do both lights require a sync cable, or can they fire wirelessly from my camera as slaves?

The sync cable is included in the package and hooks to one of the strobes. The optical sensors on the strobes will cause them to fire as well, so you can either run them optically off of your camera-mounted flash or you will connect with the sync cable to one of the strobes while the other fires by way of the optical sensor.

To me it appears this product is two units. The reciever plugs into the T3 in the same place the wired remote switch (Canon RS-60E3) would plug in. The transmitter is a separate unit that you use to trigger the shutter

No, Ray, this ring flash will not support Canon E-TTL wireless. It has no infrared receiver and is not designed to be used off camera. The only way I can think of to use it wirelessly would be to use with separate wireless flash trigger (transmitter and receiver) such as Pixel King Pro or Yongnuo YN-622C.

It works very well. There is no problem. It also works very well as master or slave when used in a wireless set up with Canon or other speed lights

It should work either with the transmitter/receiver that comes with it, or any flash that has an IR emitter. I use a Canon Speedflash, that triggers both of the studio lights with no problem.

There are three ways to 'sync' to a camera: 1) There is a flash sensor that detects the cameras flash. It triggers the strobe to flash at the same time the on camera (or another off camera) light goes off. 2) a wireless radio trigger. These sit in your SLR's hotshoe and are triggered when you press the shutter button. The receiver connects to the strobes sync jack. 3) You can physically run a sync cable from the sync port on your SLR to the sync port on the strobe. By far the least common and least efficient way.

Works great on a T2i, I don't believe there is a difference in the sync's between the 2i and 3i

The receiver needs to be connected to your light source...wherever your sync cable would go. I'm not familiar with Interfit, but I just did a shoot today with my Einsteins. Plugged the receiver into the sync port and away we went. If your Interfit system has a port for a sync cable you should be good to go. These are great for the money.

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

Yes, it does come with a sync cord for Canon EOS cameras. In this case I also have a 7d and it works perfectly.

You have a number of options. You can use the optical slave and trigger it with the flash from the 6D, just don't use the preflash. You could use any of the generic Chinese 4 or 16 channel wireless triggers with the transmitter on the hot shoe since it doesn't know the difference between Nikon, Canon or any other flash other than Sony (who had to re-invent the hot shoe). If you already have a 622 transceiver/transmitter system, you can use that too. Take one of the transceivers and plug the PC end of the sync cable that comes with the strobe into the PC port on the 622 transceiver. Take the 1/4" phone end and plug that into the strobe. I'd run a loop of heavy nylon thread through the opening on the 622 and hang it on the strobe somewhere. I'd also find a short version of that sync cable too. It may be easier to find a PC to 3.5mm and then just use a 3.5mm (mono) to 1/4" (mono) adapter

My CanonT3i has a built in wireless flash trigger. If configured properly, will my T3i transmitter trigger this receiver?

You have control of when it's on or off. There is a switch on it for on/off and there is also a switch to only light up the L or R side of the ring. It's in no way synced to your camera.

No the 430 EX & EX II do not have a sync jack to plug this into, only the 500 series Canon flashes ie 550 EX 580 EX

Hi PoobooI have a Canon T3i. I bought a Yongnuo 568EXII flash. This is how you trigger your flash. Buy a Yongnuo YN622C-TX (wireless flash controller) and attach it to the camera's hot shoe. Also, buy a Yongnuo YN622C E-TTL (wireless flash trigger / transceiver) and attach it to your Yongnuo YN568EXII flash. They receiver and the radio controller communicate excellent! You can change setting on the flash directly from the radio controller that sits on the camera's hot shoe. You can research this on Youtube videos. I am very satisfied with my Yungnuo flash, radio controller, and wireless flash trigger / transceiver. Good luck! Your speed-lite photography will be outstanding with the flash off the camera!

I don't see why not. I tried in my 7D and 5DMKIII and it worked beautifully. I even tried the master function to control my other Canon Speedlites and it worked flawlessly. I highly recommend it for any EOS camera. However, your T3 already has a built in FLASH which most likely is as powerful as this little flash. On the other hand, this little flash adds the ability to wirelessly control other Canon Speedlites.
