Is there a Commander mode for remote firing of strobes like on the close-up kit?

I'm sorry I can't answer as I bought the camera for a friend. Go to DigiReview and all the answers are there. Rich

No, there is no commander mode. However, you can buy and use a transmitter and receiver.

Yes. With my nikon in commander mode you can adjust the power in the camera menu for both, manual and TTL

You can set it up for one shot operation, which sounds like what you want. I know it can be triggered with a switch or something external, but I'm not using it like that so I'm not sure how that is set up.

Unless setting up scenes, the 4-play works best in sound activated mode. It will not work as a stand alone color strobe unless it's on dmx.

One needs to enable commander function from within the camera itself,so the question is what model do you have? Reference the link from Nikon below:https://support.nikonusa.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/11938/~/how-to-use-the-built-in-speedlight-in-commander-mode-to-control-remote Hope this helps

I don't think so, it's a radio trigger only, your flash is an infrared rcvr only. You can use the ST-E2 transmitter, which is an IR transmitter

There is an IR receiver at the camera which sends back the command to the CODEC which in turns tell the camera what to do. Using the CODEC web-interface, you can control the camera too.

Pocket Wizard. I actually use this on slave and trigger my main alien bees from the pocket wizard, in the studio, but also use the pocket wizard with this strobe if I am using it on location without the alien bees. If you are on a budget, you can also try this: http://www.amazon.com/Aputure-Trigmaster-Transmitter-Receivers-Trigger/dp/B004FLE5W4/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1407153776&sr=8-14&keywords=flash+triggers

It has a mode that acts as a slave, but is only activated by other flashes in this mode. You could, for all intents and purposes, use your on-camera flash to fire this one remotely. However, if you did not want the on-camera flash to affect your subject's exposure, you'd have to gobo that flash.

Not to my knowledge. I wanted them to strobe so it works nice for me. It comes with the controller and an on/off switch. They are very bright at night for the size. I'm happy with them. Great for tight spaces.

If you are on a budget, you can also try this:Aputure 2.4Ghz Trigmaster Kit (One Transmitter + 2 Receivers) Radio Remote Flash Trigger and Shutter Cable Release, for Nikon DSLR D200, D300s, D300, D700, D800, D800s, D1, D2, D3x, D3s, D4, and SB-600, 700, 800, 900, 910

You could set two of the speed lights to slave and they should fire on the flash of the master which would be connected to a pocket wizard. A pocket wizard connected to each light will also work well.

make sure you activate the "remote commander" control, situated in the main menu on the camera.hope that works

i have just bought i am planning on modding it my self but have not found the time. sorry. there should be add on kits for it, i am planning on making it remote controlled.

It controls off on and modes. Hold it for 1 sec. It turns on to the brightness mode you turned it off at. Hold for 2 sec. and you get the strobe. Once on click the button to cycle through the brightnesses. I came from a surefire p2x pro with tail switch and had absolutely no trouble learning this.

Unfortunately no. I have 3 on my tank so I grouped the three controllers together and use one remote. One command from remote will effect all three lights.

There is a fourth channel that sets the strobe rate. I think I remember that you need to have access to this fourth channel if you want to set it to "constant on."
