Can you use these to fire flash remotely for metering? (i.e. when not in the hot-shoe of the camera)

The short answer is yes. Set one trigger on transmit and the rest on receiver mode and press the middle botton and your should get the flashes to fire.

Yes, Yongnou Flashes have inbuilt receiver and when in slave mode, they can be fired with the remote.

Hi There, I use canon so I'm not 100% sure what your flash/camera capabilities are. I have one attached to my camera in the hotshoe and one attached to my flash via an external connection cord that comes with the pocket wizard. The pocket wizards communicate with each other to fire the flash. Hope this helps.

You are correct. Mount one on the camera, and connect one to the flash as long as has a compatible input.

I use mine as a slave flash so the answer would be yes. You do need a slave adapter to use as the trigger, attached to the base of the flash. They are inexpensive to purchase.

I believe you can.Cowboystudio NPT-04 4 Channel Wireless Hot Shoe Flash Receiver for Canon EOS, Nikon, Olympus and Pentax Flashes Other productsAnd it should work well with the trigger you have (as I have two different receivers and triggers working together.)

The zoom function is part of the flash, not the remote trigger. You can only adjust power levels remotely.

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.

Yes, although I am not sure about it's capabilities using remote flashes. I am an amateur and I am just now "getting to know" this camera. (it is a great camera and a big step up from my old Alpha) I do not understand all of the flash options and advantages/disadvantages as of now!

no. the viewfinder plugs into the same slot as the flash, so they can't be used at the same time

Hi there! Yes you can use a pocketwizard remote flash with this camera. -Anthony

you can trigger it remotely, but it can't be used in E-TTL mode in that case (ie. you lose communication with the camera) unless it's connected with an off-camera cable that supports E-TTL. If you have a light meter or are comfortable setting up exposure manually it's not a big deal.

Yes I was able to do this by buying a cord online with the appropriate sized ends....found one on amazon.Wired the flash out up to the camera trigger in....then every time I shot with hand held camera the remote cameras fired too.

I have the 568 but use it only as an off camera flash, not remotely, or controlled remotely. I am sorry but I do know anything about their remote control system. If you go to their website, you will find a PDF on this flash. Their manuals are not very good, but it might help. Where are you located. My e-mail is cthahn@tampabay.rr.com if you want any more infomation.

The hot shoe is only used to position the reflector at its focal point relative to the flash. So, if you can affix it some how at the right spot, it will work.Duct tape? Having said that, refer to Anielkoemar's info, as well.

This is not my area of experience, with this remote. It doesn't have a button for it, so I doubt it will work a flash. All the other remote triggers work well.

If you just want to trigger an off-camera flash, you need to have a hot shoe on the Canon. Then you'll need pocket wizards (PW) for the camera and the flash. Without a hot shoe on the camera, the PW won't work.

No I don't think you can do that. The hot shoe just gives you a simple contact to fire the flash. If you mount an electronic viewfinder on top of it, I am pretty sure it won't have all the contact points needed for the viewfinder. You could mount another flash on top of the hot shoe adaptor, though. But almost certainly not the electronic viewfinder.
