Can you mount the canon st-e3-rt canon transmitter on the PW hotshoe, so you can control the speedlights ai-assist for focusing, or can the PW do that

The Pocket wizard does this for certain. FYI Pocket wizard customer service is outstanding for technical questions. They take a couple days to get back to you, but you have an expert on the line when they do, not someone with 1 hour of training. Cheers

No, you would not be able to control or use the speedlights focus assist beam like that. The hot shoe on the Mini TT1 is for either the Pockwizard AC3 or for a speedlight.

Yes ..you can for firing the flash ..for any more detail , I would need a little more details...watch the videos on the PW website with Joe Brady or Mark Wallace.

Yes it will. I use it as the master and slave my other Speedlites. All controls are located in your camera menu. Hope this helps.

I don't see why not. I shoot a Canon 3ti and the hotshoe should not be any different for your camera.

The unit is packaged with a stand that can be used to mount the flash off camera. You have two options that you can use to remotely trigger the flash. You can either set it to S1 (Optical slave mode) & trigger it with the built in pop-up flash on your Canon DSLR or purchase a set of Yongnuo wireless flash triggers/wireless shutter release triggers (http://www.amazon.com/Yongnuo-RF-603-C1-Wireless-Transceiver/dp/B0050E7OSM/ref=pd_sim_p_7). I personally prefer using the triggers. The downside to either method is that you'll lose E-TTL capability using the flash off camera.

Yes. Exactly. You can use one at the camera'a hot shoe and one other at each flash being controlled by it. Just stop looking and buy it. There's not even a closer solution available at the same price range.

Probably you can't. The way I trigger my Canon flash and my studio strobes simultaneously, with the ST-E3-RT is the following: I set the studio strobes to optical trigger, and then I use the transmitter to trigger my Canon flash. When the studio strobes "see" the Canon flash they also flash. It works, but the color temperature between the Canon and the stuio lights is never the same, and the recycling time for the Canon flash is much slower than the studio strobes, so it's not perfect :)

Hello, not sure what are you trying to do, but here is what i use them for. I use them with Canon. I put the transmitter on the hot shoe of the camera with the selector on FLASH. The receiver on a flash unit and set the selector on FLASH. Assuming they are in the same channel, when you take a shot in your camera the flash unit will trigger. I haven't use it as a shutter release but i assume you have to connect a cable from the transmitter to the camera and then simply press the button on the transmitter and it should take the shot.

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! I use it on my T2i with the same flash and it works fine. There is no change to the hotshoe on the T3i.

I'm sure you could optically but I don't think the ST-E3-RT will work with any existing strobes using the signals provided by Canon out of the ST-E3-RT. If anyone else knows please correct me if I'm wrong..There might be a few companys designing new strobes to function with it...I would buy a few. I would HATE to mix receivers but if I could operate an additional strobe with a simple receiver that the ST-E3 could communicate with then possibly...

I don't see why not. I tried in my 7D and 5DMKIII and it worked beautifully. I even tried the master function to control my other Canon Speedlites and it worked flawlessly. I highly recommend it for any EOS camera. However, your T3 already has a built in FLASH which most likely is as powerful as this little flash. On the other hand, this little flash adds the ability to wirelessly control other Canon Speedlites.

I use Canon 600 speedlights on the Rapid Box as it comes with an adapter which fits with most speedlights and even the bigger ones like the Canon 600. However, it is a tight fit for the 600 and using it with a hotshoe trigger might create problems (I use the Canon ST-E3-RT to control the flash). Some radio transmitters will work as they can be hung by the side. Hope this helps.

P.S. I think you can get an adapter that would allow you to mount a device with a standard hot shoe to the Canon Advanced Accessory Shoe, but I don't recall seeing anything that would let you connect this device with its Advanced Accessory Shoe to a standard hot shoe. Also, you would not be able to get power to the mike.

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.

The transmitter is universal and will mount on any hot shoe. It will provide standard flash triggering with no TTL functionality. You will have to manually adjust the flash settings and simply use it as a trigger.

Yes, A Transciever is a combined transmitter and receiver. Each one can be used in either role (via selector switch on the side). I carry 5 of these in my lighting kit along with 3 Yongnuo speed lights and 1 Canon speed light. I can use any of them on any of the devices (camera or flash) and they work great. Keep in mind they do not support TTL. If you're a manual shooter, then you'll love these.
