Do these work with flash triggers or do I need different lighting ? I'm not a professional but would like the kind that flash when I take a picture?

They do not flash, this is a continuous lighting system, meaning you turn the light on and it stays on like any light you have in your house.

These are both a flash trigger and wireless shutter release. They work with any flash period. The only thing that makes them differ is the shutter release function....the cable wiring the trigger to camera shutter differs from camera to camera. But the flash trigger function works with any hotshoe, and those designed for Nikon & Canon all speak together. But there is no ttl-type functionality...only manual. It's just a trigger.

I have used them with a Nikon D80/D7000/D7100 and various flashes. However, I highly recommend that you look at the Yongnuo-RF-603NII-N3-Wireless-Flash-Trigger. Each Yongnuo unit can act as both camera and flash trigger at the same time.

Using regular AA batteries, yes, this will happen. I use Lithium AA batteries and they last through hundreds of pictures including flash. More expensive but well worth the convenience!

Sorry, I was referring to a flash.......but yes, these triggers will work on the t3

I'm not sure what to tell you on that one. But it is a manual flash. Plug-in a trigger and take some test shots with brightness settings and you will get dialed in pretty quick. Do you have any other specific questions that you need help with?

They are not really bright enough for multiple people in a dark setting (like a wedding reception). When I used these for a photo booth application, I also had to have my speedlight flash on the camera - of course the camera was on a tripod to minimize camera shake. If you are using them in a bright space, they should work well. I have successfully used these for photos of couples where you can get the lights real close without worrying about the lights getting in the shot.

My Pentax K20D and AF360fgz flash can only sync at 1/180 sec. These wireless triggers worked perfectly with this sync speed on my camera and flash. I also used these triggers with my other speedlights (like old Nikon SB-15, Yongnuo YN460, etc.) without any problem. I've taken many portrait photos with these triggers without any problem. Not sure if they work higher than this.

These are just lights and backdrops, no camera dependency, it's not tied into the strobe on your camera, just constant light. Point and shoot, film cameras, digital, or video, they all work.

Hi, I all suggested you use only Nikon flashes, I buyed a Vivitar because the price bud ain't worked, so I pay double.

The way I'm using it (for portraits, the room is not completely dark, and I use flashes), they are ok. I have noticed a very, very minor brightness when the flash was directed at it (i.e. I was trying to make it reflective to see how it reacts), but it was barely noticeable since I was looking for it.

I believe they will work for Nikon also, they are basic triggers (no TTL) and the hot shoe for the basic flash is the same for both Canon and Nikon.

I am not a professional either. I bought the flash only because I was asked to take pictures at a evening wedding and I needed extra light. I know very little about photography and cameras. Someone just suggested that I buy it. I'm sorry, but I really don't have the answers you need.

No, these are strobes, not hot-lights. They're designed to be triggered for still photography. They have modeling lamps built in to throw AF light, but those are like 25w bulbs.

I use them with my Yongnuo speed lights all the time, haven't had any problems. Love these! But I always shoot in manual mode anyway, so ETTL doesn't matter for me.

After proper setting they are good. However, flash of my camera broke and this is the most common problem with this camera. Google it. The problem was with main board of camera and panasonic customer support was not helpful at all. However, sticking to your question - you need to play with aperture and shutter - it can take good pictures without flash in low light.

Decidedly better. I've been using an Omni-Bounce, Gary Fong Lightsphere, etc., but getting the flash up off the camera has made a big difference. Of course, you will need a cable or do as I did and spring for a set of Phottix remote flash triggers. :)
