I have two 580 ex's and a 270exii. How many of these do I need to buy to work them all at once? (i have a 6d)

You would need 4 for all three flashes to be off camera (assuming that the 270exii works in the mix; I don't have one but I assume it will work). One on the 6d and one for each flash. If one flash can be on camera then you would need three by mounting a flash on the 622C that is attached to the camera (possibly the 270exii as fill).

Minimum of 3 so that you can do one on your camera and the other two remote. However, I would recommend 4 in case you want to have all 3 flashes remotely and ONLY the TRIGGER/MASTER on your camera WITHOUT A FLASH. Hope this helps.

Works great on the 6D. You can either use 2 Canon batteries or AA batteries in the grip.

It should work, you may have to set the 580Ex to manual and set the RF603 swtich on 580Ex to TRX and RF603 switch on 6D to Tx/TRx

I use them with 580 EXII and they are excellent. I'd contact Pixel Power through their website and ask them directly about compatibility with the 600 EX-RT. Saying that I just found out that it is comparable according to Flash Zebra's website. http://flashzebra.com/products/0265/index.shtml

Samantha, I have 2 SanDisk 16GB CF cards which I use with my 7d and 20d with no problem. The only reason I haven't purchased a 32 GB is the 16's are usually as much as I need. I have a friend with a 60d and a 7d who uses his 32GB disks especially when "birding." He uses burst mode continually when 'birding."

Hi db,Both amazon's and bandh's customer reviews of the 580 mention that it works with the 5d, so you should likely be fine.

You'll need one for the camera and one for the flash so you need two to support one camera and one flash. Hope that helps.

works great with my 40D, exposure count maxs at 999 on my display, by my math I can hold @ 2,000 images

No more than 3. cards are used and 3 is overkill. Not worth the extra expense for the amount of increased performance too small of a increase . 2 cards is enought . This card does not scale well in a quad configuration and in some cases it makes FPS worse. The card is old now with only 2 gb of memory. Even with 3 cards in SLI you still have only 2 gb of memory. Get two cards

Hi. It's not the camera compatibility you need to worry about. If the external flash you have is compatible with your camera (I use a 580 Ex II), then the "Better Beamer" is compatible with your camera. Since I use the 580 Ex II, I can use the flash extender on any of my Canon DSLR's. I can and have used it on a 7D, 60D, 5D Mark II, and 5D Mark III. I hope that helps.

Hi Trice. You will need to get two units. One to transmit and one to receive the signal. Keep in mind, after you have these, if you add additional flash units, you can switch one into slave mode and trigger it from the flash of the 580exll which is connected to the PW. This way, you won't have to buy additional PW's unless you want to get into zones etc... Hope this helps.BreAna

Actually, I have done it. If the 430EXii is in slave mode and the red part of the flash is pointed towards any other flash, the 430EXii will fire if the original flash is powerful/close enough. Happy shooting.

Yes. Exactly. You can use one at the camera'a hot shoe and one other at each flash being controlled by it. Just stop looking and buy it. There's not even a closer solution available at the same price range.

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 - $50SPEEDLITE 430EX II - $30SPEEDLITE 220EX - $30That will put the 430EX II around $240 or $250.

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 ?

In case you haven't yet found your answer, the 430EX (nor the 430EX II) cannot trigger other speedlights (it can't be a master, only a slave). The 580EX II can trigger another 580EX, 430EX, etc.
