how can i use this with other external flash units that require a trigger?

At times I just turn on the continuous light feature and hand hold it to shape the light. I often use the way as a back light for flowers and use a regular flash for front lighting.

If you want to trigger it with TTL, yes. There are pocket wizards that do the same thing and they are much more expensive! You can trigger with manual mode on these as well.

No, you cannot, I contacted Youngnuo directly and they suggested I use a Windows computer. I returned the triggers unused that day.

i asked sigma what triggers would work using the flash on a sony (alpha mount) camera...here's their response..."I believe the Pocket Wizard Transceivers, GVI radio slaves and some units from Venca will function with them..."...

i do not have that flash, but I am fairly confident that it will trigger any flash. You need to have two flash triggers; one on your camera, and the other on your flash.

This is a "dumb" trigger. It has no TTL capability. So you would need to use the flashes in manual mode.

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.

Yes, this set should work with any external flash that connects to a hot-shoe. The only thing it does is send a signal from the transmitter to the receiver which in turn triggers the flash. Just be certain that you flip the small on/off switch on the receiver to on, and the channel switches must have the same settings selected on the transmitter and receiver.

Honestly I doubt you can. They are pretty specific as to what they can be used on. I've tried them on several different flash units and from what I can tell, they only work on the units specified.

I use mine with a wireless trigger and it works fine. The only problem is that the flash goes into sleep mode every few minutes. It is annoying. I wish there was a way to make sure it stay awake until I shut it done.

I would use any small flash and het a slave unit that attaches to the hotshoe end of the flash. Basically sensing the TX1's flash, it fires the other flash as a slave.

If you just want to trigger an off-camera flash, you need to have a hot shoe on the Canon. Then you'll need pocket wizards (PW) for the camera and the flash. Without a hot shoe on the camera, the PW won't work.

This box has two devices. Each has a switch to be come the trigger, or to be the flash mount. One must be used as the trigger and the other to connect to the flash. You could reverse them with the switches.

it will work but it will not function as an 'auto' flash. everything must be done manually.

You are going to need either a cord http://www.amazon.com/Canon-OC-E3-Camera-Shoe-Cord/dp/B000OEP3F4/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1370724162&sr=8-5&keywords=canon+external+flash+cord or a wireless solution. Something like this http://www.amazon.com/YONGNUO-RF-602-2-4GHz-Wireless-Trigger/dp/B003ARRAA8/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1370724230&sr=1-4&keywords=yongnuo+canon+trigger I got both. Both do the job. Cord is a bit more reliable because wireless might get interference once in a while.

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. Be sure to read your manual, but you can use your flash and anything else you want provided it's supported by the specific function.
