Can I still use my 430ex II in slave mode with this unit attached to my camera?

This unit uses a single contact hot shoe trigger to turn on LED's momentarily, and is not equivalent to a strobe trip driving optical slaves. You could leave a TTL strobe on a hot shoe, or remote cable connection (or RF remote trip), and use this unit in the constant on mode, mounting its battery/control box on a separate cold shoe bracket it needed. However, hot shoe mounting of a full size TTL strobe wouldn't light the area a macro ring like this, or far more expensive strobe type, reaches directly in front of the lens. This unit doesn't do stop motion as strobes do, as it either flashes or turns on LED's (easier for focus or to use camera exposure sensors). The only reason I can see to use both at once would be to use the strobe as side fill, using a Canon TTL remote cable just as one might use with that strobe on a bracket rather than in the hot shoe.

The 90EX is a master flash. The issue it will it work on the older Xti camera. I can't say for sure because I'm not sure if the Xti external flash setting menu is up to date for the 90EX. I would not even trust Canon tech support to give you the correct answer.In the past you would use the external flash like the 580ex to control the master/slave setting. Now it can be done via the cameras flash menu and since the 90EX has no external button to do that I'm not sure the Xti's menu has that feature set.

Yes it works great with that camera, plug and go. Enjoy the freedom to move :-)

Yes in a way! It has a setting on it to switch to be in a slave mode but it is best to always use a remote like a pocket wizard or cactus! This is a great flash for the price, I have been shooting pro for 29 years and shoot nikon but recently bought a few of these! Work great!

Yes, it can via slave...when your flash triggers it will too. It is an amazing flash by the way. I have 3 and love them.

Connect the shutter release cable to your transceiver that's attached to your camera hotshoe then set both transceivers to TRX. Yes they are interchangeable.

Hello Jenna. This particular PW works as Transmitter and Receiver. You would need one for the camera (transmitter) and one for the flash (receiver). Also if you are using additional flash units you would need one for each unless you have them set up as a slave.

On my DX5e i know the trainer switch is what operates the camera. It may be the same for you as well. Not sure if it defaults to that for the DX6i.

Thanks, Cary. You've convinced me, and I now own a 580EXII. Perhaps I will get the smaller 430 as a second flash, if it can pick up the wireless signal from the 580EXII ?

Just make sure its plugged into the correct port on the base unit. It's easy to mix it up with the rear camera port.

I am using the YN560-II speedlite in slave mode. If you send your email address I will send a picture of my speedlite mounted with the DMKFoto softbox.

The flash is compatible with your camera, but I'm not sure about it running as a slave if you are using a commander set up for multiple flashes. It may be fine as a slave, but I'd research it more. Stand alone, it will do well. I love mine.

I agree with the others, it does not appear that the 430exii has an external battery port. However, I am using it with the 600ex and it works well.

I am not sure what you mean by "slave cell". But, if you are asking if it will work as an optically triggered wireless TTL slave flash that works with the built in Nikon AWL commander mode, then, yes. It also will support Canon's wireless TTL but I have not been able to test that yet since I have not been around anyone with a camera that could trigger it in Canon mode.

If your is a 3 wire camera you ahould have no issue. If yours is one of these mini cameras that have a mini SD slot then you have some work to do as you'd have to figure that camera and its board out.

you can mount on the camera or place around as slave using wireless. I tested and worked , it syncs with the camera flash.
