So how can you use this for self portraits and still use your studio lights that already has a wireless trans and receiver on it?

As someone who does not use studio lights, I am afraid that I cannot adequately answer this question other than to second a previous suggestion and use the self-timer on the camera.

I would recommend using this remote trigger to start the camera's built in timer for a couple of reasons, 1. It will give you time to hide the remote. 2. It shouldn't interfere with the operation of your other triggers because it may be on a different frequency, as mentioned before.

The wireless controller doesn't hook up to the hot shoe on the camera, so it'll not effect your studio flashes.

Maybe the remotes have different frequency's? OR use the camera's self timer.

I wondered about that myself and I have 3 similar systems, but they seem to be set to receive a signal from their own matched cameras. I tried getting all three and they didn't work with the other cameras. So I guess the answer to be no, that you won't be able to use a different receiver with the camera/transmitter.

I believe you can. http://www.amazon.com/Cowboystudio-NPT-04-Wireless-Receiver-products/dp/B003547GRI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1362949181&sr=8-1&keywords=cowboy+studio+receiver And it should work well with the trigger you have (as I have two different receivers and triggers working together.)

I agree no light level determination. Something that could work that is also wireless WIFI and has an Internet app is the Spark Photon since it has something like 8 analog inputs. Would take some additional circuitry with a photocell but would seem to be very inexpensive for a hobbyist to do.

Conector is different. 30 pin vs lighting. It won't work unless you get a converter

Hello LaToya, this lighting kit works with any dslr camera model or brand that has a hot shoe to attach an external flash on top. I've just looked at your camera on Amazon and do see that the camera does have a hot shoe so your camera should be able to use it. You will connect the wireless transmitter to your hot shoe and the wireless receiver to the lights. Then adjust your lights to get the proper exposure by moving it further back or forward or lowering the power or bumping it up. It's been a while since I've had that set, so I'm not sure if there is a power adjustment for you to adjust. Good luck!

No, you want either a wireless or wired shutter control. The wired ones are extremely inexpensive and work just as well if not better. You can find them on here for $5-$6 I believe.

That should work. It is a generic MIDI adapter, and the hardware emulates a more popular brand name controller that most lighting software should have support for

Hi Irish, Let me break into the options you have. 1. If you do not use the cable then the transceiver needs to be in the hot shoe so it can trigger all the others. 2. Connecting the cable you can use any other transceiver to trigger your camera and all the other transceivers you have. There are 3 "versions" for the Nikon. N1, N2, N3. The only difference is the cable to the camera. So when you have the right cable for your camera and you need more transceiver then just go for the best price. I got 7 of them so having a friend drop by. Then all he needs to do I put one in the hot shoe and we share the light. Or if connect the cable we can do the exact same picture but just from another angle. Yeah, I'm having fun with them. I found this on Youtube showing how it works http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrGeQhTEN5A

Since this is a very good camera what you might want to do is some research on lighting that you can attach to it for night lighting. There is only so much that can be done at night as should be known. There are some really good lights now being produced such as LED.

Yes, you can use the lights without the camera. You can direct the light to suit your needs. Another trick I use is to put a mirror behind me to give surround light as in a studio.

You can set each one if this triggers as you like to, if you want to have one as transmitter the rest if them have to be set as receivers and they will trigger the flash, hope this help I have 3 and I use one as a master the other 2 as slaves and I can have a set up of 3 lights using the one in camera if I need to and 2 off camera flashes with the other 2 set up as a receivers.

I don't know why not. You won't have a hair light or background light, but you'll have a main and a fill. I have two pair, so I could use my second pair to light a distant background. If your clothes rack & makeup case are close enough, the fall-off of your main and fill should light the background fine. For a hair light, I got a ePhoto 600 LED Professional Studio Video Light Panel - ePhoto 600 LED Professional Studio Video Light Panel Photography Lighting Sony V Mount by ePhotoinc CN600SD which I put on a large boom I already own.

You will need to be "hard wired" with a sync cord and the flash in manual. The smaller flashes should be fine depending on your ISO and f stop. with a dual strobe bracket you can fire two flashes at once and double your output. Consider purchasing a monolight stobe in the softbox to make use of the modeling light. try these products: Cowboystudio 400 Watt Photography Studio Monolight, Studio Strobe Light with 75 W Model LampDSLRKIT Dual / Triple Flash Bracket Umbrella Holder Light Stand shoe 1/4" ScrewHope it helps Paul.

This is a wired camera. To use with a wireless system you'd have to add wireless cameras unless your receiver has space for wired camera inputs.

I purchased two of these flashes to use with wireless remotes with my portable studio. They work great - but you have to set them manually for the intensity of flash you desire. I use a Canon Speedlite 420ex on my Canon EOS Rebel T2i so it integrates with the proprietary links built into Canon.

There is a sync cor provided but it is a bit short. If you have a Speedlite you can trigger these strobes with that or consider buying one of the cheap CowboyStudio 4 Channel Wireless Triggers. I work with both methods often problem free.
