I'm confused because of conflicting reviews. Will this device trigger the shutter and flash simultaneously while the flash is on top of the camera?

I don't know about that because I haven't tried it but it says it does and comes with a wire to connect the transmitter to the camera. This trigger is quite awesome though, having never failed to fire for me even through cars and walls up to 50ft away. There is a hotshoe mount on top of the transmitter to mount a flash so I assume it does. Also in the package is an adapter plug for monolights which I find useful as I doe on-location photography only with a battery pack powered strobe paired with my small Speedlite. Fotodiox PRO Pocket Wonders have proved to be better than I ever expected. For the price they can't be beat!

There is a small button just below where the flash is housed that you press to pop it out and activate flash, I assume once its up it will continue to use flash as needed until you press it back down. Personally I like this feature since I prefer natural light photography.

Yes it works, It's cool. In Bulb mode, yes you have to keep it press to keep the shutter open. But, You can put manual mode and then chage shutter speet to 'Time' (after 30seconds) and then use this as wire relese. 1st Clic "Open", 2nd Click "Close". It's superb

Yes, I did exactly that last summer while photographing fireworks. It will work in exactly the same way as the shutter release on the camera.

Are you using a Sony camera or Nikon? If you have a Nikon camera, look for the Nikon version. If you have a Sony camera with a Nikon flash and want to get them to work together. . . . this is what I did. I purchased this to use the trigger with my Sony A99 camera and then bought thereceivers for Nikon flash - then mixed the two. As a result, I can sync my two Nikon flashes along with my Sony flash via my Sony camera.

I haven't used it as a shutter release but will work. There's a switch on the transmitter that will switcj from flash trigger to shutter trigger.

If you are looking to use this as a flash trigger, it will work and has worked perfectly for me for more than a year. If you are looking to use it as a remote shutter release, I don't believe it will.

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.

It didn't bother me, and while you do have to screw it in, it's fully automatic. Still, if your wife wants to use both the EVF and flash, they can't be used together as there's only the one accessory port. If she doesn't use the EVF, she could probably leave the flash screwed on as long as she doesn't hit the top of the camera.

No it does not. But it has a built in optical trigger which will trigger to your camera flash. Also there is an option to bypass the pre-flash. (TTL) This comes with a trigger cable to connect to a trigger device.

Hi, Buddy, it works great with my D3100, as a remote shutter as well as flash trigger.

I am using it with the Optio S-1, And yes, it activates the shutter when half way down.

Yes there is the option for infinite shutter actuations (ie photos taken). You can just set the interval and bulb times and then select the "infinite" tab in the app. Theoretically your camera should keep going until the batteries run out. My suggestion would be to download the app so that you can get familiar with the control settings. Overall, I'd recommend this unit very highly. Also the support people are great and got back to me immediately, so if you have questions I'm sure they'll do the same. Also with the App, there's the possibility of updating it to improve future functionality. ;-)p

I turned mine off. It works but on mine it some times caused shimmer in play back, if you're moving the camera following action. If you're using telephoto and not moving camera or slowly moving camera, then ok. If you want to capture a frame to save a photo then you need it on.

Hello, not sure what are you trying to do, but here is what i use them for. I use them with Canon. I put the transmitter on the hot shoe of the camera with the selector on FLASH. The receiver on a flash unit and set the selector on FLASH. Assuming they are in the same channel, when you take a shot in your camera the flash unit will trigger. I haven't use it as a shutter release but i assume you have to connect a cable from the transmitter to the camera and then simply press the button on the transmitter and it should take the shot.

You can sync it with a cable, with a remote trigger or using the slave function meaning the yongnuo will flash if it detects another flash firing, for example your built in flash. Hope this helps

Hi there -- this may be irrelevant, but they're asking me to communicate. I never used Canon, bought this slave to enable me to use auxiliary flash with a Fuji 3D camera. The idea is this: Most today's hi-tech flashes emit a series of light impulses to pre-evaluate the scene, the pop responsible for actual exposure (when the shutter opens) being the last one. To use an external slave flash you need either turn off all camera's pre-flashes (switch it to 'dumb' mode -- impossible with my Fuji) or use a slave that will ignore pre-flashes, such as this unit. That's why I bought it and it works for me. Try to read the manual for your Canon and see what your options are. It always helps to have a clear understanding what goes on. Cheers! M.B.
