Can this unit (only trasceiver) trigger off camera Canon 580 ExII?

Yep. You need two of these, one on-camera and one on the flash. Does a pretty nice job of transmitting ETTL data.

I have the mark ii and it works great with the Canon 580 exii I don't have the yongnuo though

Haven't tried it specifically on T5i but any Canon camera with remote trigger port should work.

I've used it with my t3i with no problem. I used the optical slave sensor. As long as it can sense the cameras flash, it will trigger.

I can respond to you only with the flash models I have tried. It works with the Fuji EF 42 very well but it serves only to sync with the camera, no TTL functionality though. You have to set the aperture manually on the camera corresponding to the Guide number of the flash. This trigger does not work very well with the Canon 430 Ex since the 430 has some problems with radio transmitters. I've successfully used this trigger with the Sony RX 100Mk2 and the Fuji as I have previously mentioned. Would this work with the Yongnuo, it probably will but I'm not sure. Then again Yongnuo has its own dedicated triggers so why would you want to use this set?

No to the first answer. I never tried triggering via USB but I doubt that unless you maybe find some other software that can do that.

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 ?

Incorrect. You must have a radio transmitter trigger on your camera, either built in to your master flash or a transmitter mounted on the camera's hotshoe.

Canon's wireless system is very limited in use. You still need a flash on the camera to trigger the one off camera. I'd recommend you buy this flash and 3 Youngnuo wireless radio transceivers. You put on one the hot shoe and can position 2 flashes off camera. If you want to save a few buck and if no one else is taking pictures with flash near you (studio set up), then the yongnuo flashes have an optical slave you could use. You could put one transceiver on the camera, one on a single off camera flash. Then it could trigger multiple other flashes set to optical slave mode. Unless you need TTL the YN560 makes a good cheap off camera only flash. Canon's wireless system is very limited in use. You still need a flash on the camera to trigger the one off camera.

Yes. It will trigger as a slave from a single flash at the camera or from the second flash at the camera if the camera is using red-eye reduction flashes. It is triggered, AFAIK, from light from the subject, so any flash will trigger it.

I would suggest these instead: Yongnuo YN-622C Wireless ETTL Flash Trigger Receiver Transmitter Transceiver . After purchasing the Apurture, I realized they were not ETTL and require manual settings on all the flashes.

Yes you can. ALso if you can disable the optical trigger on the flash unit you can do a zoning setup were all you have to do is change what the transmitter is is set on.

Thanks NutMac. I just got the Canon XSi so I'm guessing that would control this flash (being very new itself). The one thing I didn't consider before was that the price of this new 430EX II will be at list price for a while, making it a lot more expensive that the current model! That will put it out of my price range, so I guess I'm sticking with the older technology for now! Thanks again,Stew

Yes. This is NOT a dedicated unit. There is no TTL with this. It is a manual flash.

I am sure that you can because I test them without using the camera. You simply push the button on the transmitter which sends the signal to the receiver, triggering the flash. By the way, I just love these. I have three receivers and two transmitters.

Works fine with all new Canons. Doesn't support the new radio system like the 600EX-RT, but can still be used as slave IR. Will also work fine on hot shoe of any new Canon (for ETTL and/or AF assist). I've had one 580EX (I) for years, and while it doesn't support some new features, is still a good primary or secondary flash (with IR...would have to get a newer Canon flash for RT slave).

Yes, It can be a master flash. and is able to control compatible flashes. It's optical control the same that comes in Canon 580 EX II. Its not a radio transmitter.
