Do you need a flash remote for the light system or is it directly slaved into the hot shoe?

I bought this for my daughter. All I can help you with is that she is completely satisfied. She uses it on a daily basis.

The lights in this kit are on all the time. They are not "flashed" as you take your pictures.

Technically this will work with any camera with a standard hot shoe, however I'm not sure about the use of the remote control feature.

There is a 4-Channel Radio Remote Trigger with 2 Flash Remote Triggers that come with the set. The main trigger goes on the "hot shoe" on your camera, and the remote trigger plugs into the flash head. Each flash head also comes with a sync cord that can be plugged into cameras with flash sync connections.

I have not tried it with a flash yet but I will and post my findings for you. However it doesn't make sense as the remote only uses the hot shoe for holding it. It had is own power source do possibly blocking the signal the way it is dangling.. possibly Velcro from the side of the unit to the side of flash.. As I did I will give it a try with flash and let you know the outcome. Give me a couple days..

You don't mount a flash on this unit. This unit mounts on the camera hotshoe and becomes a trigger for a YN-622N iTTL unit that is used off camera. Hope that answers your question.

This is just the controller and remote. The hub is separate and only needed for wifi connectivity and for the app. If you just want to control your lights with this touch remote, this is all you need. Just note that some led strips have a different color configuration, so you may need to switch some of the wires around where the strip plugs into the controller.

Yes, of course! The package included the shoe, the screw (attached to the shoe) and small screwdriver. I just had to remove the original flash, attached the new shoe and that was it. I attached a wireless trigger and all my old flashes started to work nicely, although in manual mode but that's ok with me, I didn't expect anything different.

You do not need to use a remote. It has two pull strings...one for fan (3 speeds & off) and one for the light. It has a low profile for added head room, but I have to admit, when I installed it, the light did not work. I have yet to take it apart to see if the wiring to the light came disconnected... I am hoping it is not bad. I NEED the light more than the fan in that room.

No, that's not correct. It has a cable that connects to the cameras shutter release. The hot shoe is there just for convenience, it has nothing to do with the remote function. The remote function is through the cable from the receiver to camera.

Hello Riele, I do not see a remote pictured on this item. I just ordered this kit and do not expect to receive a remote. Perhaps you are confusing it with the flash?

Yes. It goes on the flash hot shoe. Think of it as an extension cord for the flash.

No it does not have a flash mode, and yes you can use it without the remote

There is no remote that comes with it. It's just the look light And the cord. The cord wires up on the box outside which can be controlled from the box inside

Without the hot shoe adapter the light can't stand on anything. It's really a proprietary adapter anyway. But since the light is so inexpensive you might as well buy it if you only need a new adapter.

What kind of camera and flash are you using ? Most flashes and cameras you can run wireless or an a cable to it. . you can also get a L bracket to hold camera and flash thus allowing the Hotshoe free to use with remote

No Hot Shoe Needed. The black rectangle that goes in the shoe mount is the battery holder and powers the light.

Yes, for me it comes out of either the hot shoe or the flash. I haven't used it in a while, so I'm not sure how exactly it was switched and it might depend on the flash and the body for how to set that.
