Will this work as a light triggered slave flash?

Yes, that's what the S1 and S2 modes are for. More info about it is in the product description.

Yes in a way! It has a setting on it to switch to be in a slave mode but it is best to always use a remote like a pocket wizard or cactus! This is a great flash for the price, I have been shooting pro for 29 years and shoot nikon but recently bought a few of these! Work great!

I think there may be a misunderstanding of the slave feature. It's an optical slave, meaning that a flash of light from another flash/strobe will trigger the flash to fire. You can use a PC sync cord to connect a radio trigger or directly to the camera. If you turn the slave feature off, then you can have this light triggered by a remote, say on a different channel, and not be fired by the optical slave. Hope this helps

It should work either with the transmitter/receiver that comes with it, or any flash that has an IR emitter. I use a Canon Speedflash, that triggers both of the studio lights with no problem.

At first this made zero sense, then I think I got what you're asking: using this in reverse to take an optical signal and pass it to the board header. I highly doubt it will. This generates light from the board header output signal and I highly doubt it would be capable of generating a signal for the header from light. That would effectively make it a photo cell, which it's not.

Yes. Any movement will trigger it, but the light will not stay on very long.

A slave flash is a second flash that can be used in photography to fill in more light or light from a different location then where the camera sits. They can be connected to the camera, but they are usually mounted on a second tripod or stand and are triggered by a sensor module that "sees" the primary camera flash. Within a millisecond, the sensor module triggers the second (slave) flash that is used for more effect than just the primary camera flash, which is pointed directly at the subject. I have used some generalities here but I hope it clarifies what a slave flash is and under what circumstances it would be used for.

Probably, yes... BUT don't do it. There's no way to work a flash.. not even with fiber optics because they never accommodated for the pop up flash on these cameras... no room in the housing. Means you need to manually work a slave strobe.. no fun :(

The flash is compatible with your camera, but I'm not sure about it running as a slave if you are using a commander set up for multiple flashes. It may be fine as a slave, but I'd research it more. Stand alone, it will do well. I love mine.

the slave is in the camera settings. Remote flash. Not hard to find if your camera has this option. C

There is another option with this strobe. The flash will trigger from either another strobe/flash or an infrared trigger. A lot of cameras (mine included) has the ability to flash with infrared light so there is no attached light in the image. The flashes are triggered by that light when in slave mode. In simplest terms, if the flash is wired to the camera, it is a master. If it is off camera, it is a slave unit, regardless of what triggering method used.

No, it can only be used as an "On Camera" flash, or "Off Camera" using a remote cord. It does NOT have remote "Slave" capability.

As long as the flash. You are using is strong enough for the distance between flashes it should work. I used one monolight to trigger the other. I used a wireless trigger to trigger the first one and it in turn trigger the second.

Yes this will. Since this has a optical sync you can trigger this flash with your camera flash. If you do not want to use your camera flash, you can plug a sync cable to trigger. Happy shooting!!

This flash will fire but please keep in mind there is no communication to the camera. This is more of a manual flash. Hope that helps.

Does not work as a commander for wireless flash but I just use a slave trigger or my Apature trigermaster. There is a nice app for my Driod that is a remote trigger also.

Yes, it is probably more useful as a slave light than as a main flash. Honestly I thought it was a piece of junk and sold it to someone for 50 bucks, he was not happy with it and wanted to return it to me. It really just does not work well with the more advanced Nikons. It does not seem to react as fast as the camera.

On the back of the speedlite there is a switch that at the bottom left of the flash that u can flick it to be in slave mode
