Yes you can use it as slave trig. And u can buy a soft box too, but this light has a plastic part on the front and using a heavy soft box can break it.

Yes the strobe has switchable salve triggering, and it can be turned off or on. And yes you can use your on camera flash to trigger the strobe with no problem.

And for the softbox usage the answer is yes! Amazon carries many softboxes for the strobe, the softbox attaches to the portion of the strobe that extends from the body of the strobe, the softbox will have four screws that you will tighten to secure the softbox to the strobe. This is a very good strobe to learn studio photography I have own many of the 300 watt and sold them for high wattage strobe, the light output is high and perfect for portrait or event photo shoot using backdrops.

You can change setting on flash to "Slave" and the flash unit is auto triggered by another flash. Very nice feature.

You can set each one if this triggers as you like to, if you want to have one as transmitter the rest if them have to be set as receivers and they will trigger the flash, hope this help I have 3 and I use one as a master the other 2 as slaves and I can have a set up of 3 lights using the one in camera if I need to and 2 off camera flashes with the other 2 set up as a receivers.

You can sync it with a cable, with a remote trigger or using the slave function meaning the yongnuo will flash if it detects another flash firing, for example your built in flash. Hope this helps

I believe it is actually unusually easy. You will have a sensor that goes on top of your camera, over the flash. Then you will have a plug in for one of the lights. The second softbox will flash a few seconds after the first softbox flashes. I got stuck on this too and had someone from photography class help me. I hope this answers your question.

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.

Yes it is a flash unit and thus far, it has worked flawless for me...I have not had wash outs or insufficient light

It is a softbox, in that it is a rectangular light modifier that you fire your flash into the back of, where the light is then reflected back out the front. Functionally, it works just the same as any softbox, albeit is not made of the highest quality materials. The bag it comes in is horrible, and the softbox itself is relatively poorly made. I would not buy another, but it gets the job done in a pinch.

Yes, it is actually built into the flash head. Very well designed. I can not say enough great things about this flash unit !!

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.

There is a sync cor provided but it is a bit short. If you have a Speedlite you can trigger these strobes with that or consider buying one of the cheap CowboyStudio 4 Channel Wireless Triggers. I work with both methods often problem free.

again, it only has a connector or a Pocket Wizard flash controller for metering only - it will not fire the flashes when the camera shutter actuates. I don't know of any light meter which would do this since there are so many other less expensive ways to do this.

I did a quick test using my Canon 430exII on a white wall. IMHO, lost light is about 2/3 - 1 stop of light, which is easy to correct. More importantly, the historgram had a better curve with the softbox.

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?

You can set up this box to take pics from above, or even lean it to shoot from a 45 degree angle. Just light it well! Only one side will be open, (top) unless you modify it.

You Need a Universal speed ring then you can use any softbox. look on amazon for the speed ring. Also there a book light it shoot it retouch it on amazon that very good on lighting and equipment.

Looking at the front of the camera,it's a pop-up flash unit located on right side top section.Works automatic or manual whichever way you have it set.
