hi, i&acute;m looking a external battery pack for canon speedlite 430EXII, i need to know if this product is compatible for my flash, thanks

unfortunately I don't believe it is, it has to have the three pronged external power plug.

I use Canon Speedlite but I suppose Yongnuo is very similar, then it should work just fine, I just can't guarantee, though...

Most "external" battery packs are for portable flash, since if you "tethered" your camera to a power source a lot of portability is sacrificed and the camera would probably need to be on a tripod. There are camera specific units that can be coupled to the bottom of the camera body by the 1/4"x20 threaded tripod socket to double the number of exposures the camera can take. It only takes 10-15 seconds to exchange a second back up battery, so there is minimal advantage, but "Vello", "Phottix", et al make them (for less money then OEM units) as well as Olympus, in your case. Just go to Phottix.com, for example, and searce for your camera model. Back when I shot film and we had to manually advance film, a motor drive was a REAL advantage to faster shooting! Adding a battery to a dSLR won't speed up the exposure rate, just give you a couple hundred extra shots before changing batteries, most of which you won't use since they were likely "spray and pray" shots rather then well "crafted" shots.

Near as I can tell, there are two types of ways to attach an external flash. One is with a screw on set up and the other is by sliding the flash into the top of a bracket on the camera. So if the camera has a "slide" on the top of it, I'm thinking it would fit.

I'm not sure what your flash needs are but it sounds like you use flash pretty often so a decent one might be a good idea. I recently replaced a Sigma 500 Super that I appear to have worn out with a a 430EX II. Nice flash - good feature set, powerful enough for all but the largest venues, not too big, recharged VERY fast and silently and tilts AND swivels so you can always use ceiling bounce no matter what orientation you're shooting in plus, if you ever upgrade to a 580EX, you can use the 480EX as an ETTL slave. AND, starting April 3rd, Canon will be offering the following INSTANT rebates: SPEEDLITE 580EX II - $50 SPEEDLITE 430EX II - $30 SPEEDLITE 220EX - $30 That will put the 430EX II around $240 or $250.

Most pocket wizards that I've seen (mainly yours) connect to a flash using the 3.5mm jack. This kit will work for most flashes but the pocket wizards will have to hang or be strapped down using rubber bands or velcro. I cheaped out to purchased the Yongnuo Yn-622C. These triggers mount on the bracket and I mount my speedlites onto them. Hope that helps.

Gosh. I have a canon speed light that I use this on. It is sturdy, way better than the one that came with my flash. Do they make one for the Nikon?

Hi Phyllis,This flash is for Nikon cameras, and ours, regrettably, does not come with the manual. However, I did find an electronic version of the manual online:http://www.nikonusa.com/pdf/manuals/Speedlights/SB-50DX.pdf Thanks for your interest!

I use this for two Canon Speedlite 580EX II. If the Canon website says they use the same canon battery pack (which I believe it may) then this should work for yours as well.

Hi Paul - I have used this with an SB900 in this way. I works fine. A great unit for the price. The speedlight does need to have 4 batteries in it as well as the 8 batteries in the External Battery pack.

are you using eTTL? if your flash is set to manual mode and full power, "+3" then it will use batteries very fast. if the 4AA batteries that power the flash are rechargeable, then you need to charge them right up until you put them into your flash, otherwise they will not have full power. and yes, you will need batteries within the 2400-2700 mAh range, otherwise batteries do not have enough power. also consider a power supply for faster recycle times. also note that lithium-ion batteries get too hot when in constant use and can damage the flash.

I don't know about those flashes you mention..but I can tell you it holds my canon 430ex speedlite..just becareful when you tighten the flash on it..its plastic and feels like it can break if you tighten to much..as of now I use it frequently without recklessness..keeping in mind not to tighten to much..so far it stays on secure..good luck

It works for any speedlite. But your camera should be under the list of model.

It is specifically designed for the Canon 580 EX Speedlight flash (and I think it also fits the Canon 580 EX II. I doubt that this model would fit any other brand flash. Go to the Stofen website for more information.

I would think it should fit , i would go to the canon site and see if they offer different speed lites for different models. I have not come across any yet.it works on my t4i

Yes and No. It will work IF you purchase separate sync ports for your speedlights. I know the 430 does not have a pc port and am pretty sure the 580 does not either. all you need to do is go to flashzebra or call them up and they can set you up with them. they are around $15 but will allow you to use the pocket wizards. Another important question is do you want to adjust your flash power by your camera or do you want to do it manually? Pocket wizard offers a ttl trigger for speedlights. The PWIII trigger you are asking about is a "dumb" trigger as it will only trigger your flashes and you will not be able to adjust the power or use your ttl functions with it. If you just want a trigger to fire your flashes I would recommend you save some money and get the new pocket wizard Plus X triggers. they are $99 vs $140. If you want to control the power of your flashes and or use the ttl functions I would recommend the Pocket Wizard Mini TT1 and Flex TT5 systems. you can read about each of these on the pocket wizard website.

I have no experience with the particular flash you mention. However, I have no reason to believe it won't work. It is a simple device - it gives you a PC connection on the Canon cameras - in my case, a 6D. In times past, the PC connection came in the camera body. For some reason, they are no longer including the built-in PC connection. So this is the answer, and it works. And you know what? If it doesn't work with your flash, then send it back. I don't believe that you will ever have to return it.
