I have 600 ex rt, but I can only fire my 430 from it in optical mode. Will this trigger fire a 430 slave from the on camera 600 in wireless mode? Thx

Hi H,Canon only make the model 600EX RT with a built-in 2.4 GHz radio trigger system. The 430EX model is not and therefore can only be triggered from 600EX RT via optical mode.

600EX-RT can trigger and be triggered only by other 600EX-RT speedlites and by Canon ST-E3-RT Speedlite Transmitter. With Pixel King system you may put one speedlite on camera with Pixel King transmitter and the other speedlite remotely on the Pixel King receiver. This unfortunately means you will be giving up the benefit of the built-in wireless of the 600EX-RT, and you'll be using it like any other flashgun.

I see no problem using the Pixel 3G with my 430, 580, or 600. With the 3G set in eTTL mode it seems to control the 430 with no problems. Since I have the 600 and 5580 i very rarely use the 430. I am quite pleased with the Pixel and plan on getting another pair for backup and when I need another receiver.

Sorry, but I can't answer your question. I had to return this purchase because I could not get anyone to answer my questions. I could never get it to work. Had to purchase another transreceiver.

Yes and no - Yes it works as traditional IR way, but that requires clear line of sight between two. You cannot use radio feature of 600ex-rt to trigger 430ex

Will it fire? Yes. Will it work in full TTL Auto Mode? I don't think so. I use these in slaved multiple flash situations and they function beautifully for that purpose. There is also a newer version of this flash but the previous version is also being sold I think. If you do buy, make sure you get the newer version. Would advise getting advice from someone who can address a solution your needs and knowledge level before you buy. Good luck!

The ST-E2 uses optical signals to control flashes. The 600 ex RT apparently can take optical or radio signals. There is a newer Canon ST-E3-RT that is designed for the 600 EX. Refer to link for the 600 EX guide: http://www.learn.usa.canon.com/app/pdfs/quickguides/CDLC_Speedlite_600EX-RT_Radio_Setup_QuickGuide.pdf

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.

You have a number of options. You can use the optical slave and trigger it with the flash from the 6D, just don't use the preflash. You could use any of the generic Chinese 4 or 16 channel wireless triggers with the transmitter on the hot shoe since it doesn't know the difference between Nikon, Canon or any other flash other than Sony (who had to re-invent the hot shoe). If you already have a 622 transceiver/transmitter system, you can use that too. Take one of the transceivers and plug the PC end of the sync cable that comes with the strobe into the PC port on the 622 transceiver. Take the 1/4" phone end and plug that into the strobe. I'd run a loop of heavy nylon thread through the opening on the 622 and hang it on the strobe somewhere. I'd also find a short version of that sync cable too. It may be easier to find a PC to 3.5mm and then just use a 3.5mm (mono) to 1/4" (mono) adapter

The Nikon D3300 flash has CLS mode...it WILL trigger the two Wireless flashes on the Nikon R1 Kit. No issues there

In case you haven't yet found your answer, the 430EX (nor the 430EX II) cannot trigger other speedlights (it can't be a master, only a slave). The 580EX II can trigger another 580EX, 430EX, etc.

I don't have that particular flash, but if recievers and transmitters are on the same channel the flash should fire. If you have a simple transceiver the flashes will not recieve any of Auto (TTL, HSS, etc) functions from the camera. They will have to be set manually. Another option is to use the built in optic trigger. There is some control from the camera but is limited to line of sight.

Reading the comments to this question, I'm a little confused. If my camera has built-in commander capability, will I still need to the transmitter and receiver? If this flash can receive the signal from my camera's commander system, am I all set in terms controlling the flash when it's off-camera?

It does have an optical slave function. In addition to basic slave, it can be set ti fire after a particular number of flashes, so that it can be used as a manual slave triggered by systems like Nikon CLS which use pre-flashes.

Yes, I've read that sb600/900/910 function manually on the camera and using some wireless triggers, even cheap cowboy studio ones. I use a yongnuo st-e3-rt on my x-t1 and to fire a canon 600 EXRT flash and previously used it on the x-e2 so system is versatile though you might want to go to your camera shop with your flash to try it out first if you have other models of flash.

Hello Teri, In order to answer your question I need to know more about the SU-20. If you're looking for something that has full control over your flash units...no this isn't what you're looking for. I usually setup my flash units manually, so the YN-622N units work for me. If I understood the directions properly you can use a flash on top of the YN-622N to trigger your other flash units wirelessly. The only suggestion I can give you is to look at Radiopoppers, Phottix Odin, or the Phottix Atlas II Wireless. Sincerely, Warren

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!

Set everything up (flash connected to NPT-04 receiver, everything turned on), and then hit the test button that's on top of the transmitter. Does the flash fire? If it does, then the transmitter is talking to the receiver, and the receiver is talking to the flash. So the problem is the camera isn't talking to the transmitter. You didn't say what camera you're using. On my Sony cameras, "wireless" is for using the pop-up flash to control and fire other flashes. You can do wireless TTL, and use the pop-up flash to be the "commander". That's what "wireless" flash mode is. Obviously that's not what you're doing. So change it to rear or fill flash mode, and see if that works.

I have two mounts and two 600 ex-rt speedlites... and it works fine. You occasionally have to play with it to make sure it is in their securely... but I haven't had any issues.

When I use the wireless triggers, I usually go manual. In TTL mode you can increase the exposure by using the +/- function on your camera.
