Can I use a remote with this flash?

Nope.this is just an LED light,not a flash.you can only turn it on or off and vary the strength.its a steady source of light
582215
This is not a flash. This is a video LED light that has a control on the light that adjust the intensity.

This is a continuous light only, no flash function. It works well in that capacity, very bright and a pretty accurate daylight color temp. There is at least one manufacturer that makes a combination flash/continuous led light, I don't remember the name but if you search, you'll find it. I think it only triggers with a PC cord. Hope that helps.

No. The TTL info is "pass thru" only, so to control a remote flash, a 550EX or 580EX /ii (or 600EX-RT) must be on board your transmitter. The on board flash should be "master" and the remote are "slaves" - controlled optically (using the Canon system) or optionally by radio if there are 2+ 600EX's. The Stratos ii could TRIGGER only another remote studio flash or any manually set flash. If the remote is a Canon EX don't set it on slave. It can trigger a hair or background light, a side or background light for the rest of a room at a party or reception while the on board flash gives you good camera-to-subject exposures. Better yet, where the flash doesn't have to be on the camera, you can put the camera end of an OCF (Off Camera Flash) cord of 15' - 33' on the transmitter and control a remote flash/s on a light stand, in a soft box or Octabox from the camera! Then you will MAKE images and not just "take pictures"! Google "Syl Arena" or "PixSylated" for more info or to contact the "Canon OCF Guru"! J. Alan

Most suitable for manual mode. Will fire the flash but No other flash functions are controlled.

This should work with any flash that takes a sync cable as long as you are using the proper transmitter from your camera

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.

It should. Sounds like the same thing I am doing. Only problem is, you will not have electronic exposure control on the remote flash, only trigger.

You cannot use TTL when using the included remotes (it says so in the instructions). With this setup you can only use manual mode (on the camera and the speedlights.) Set the shutter speed on the remote speedlights to match the shutter speed on the camera. And don't forget to connect the shutter release cable from the remote to the camera. Also, use the shutter release button on the remote, not the one on the camera. (If you use the built-in shutter release on the camera, it will try to fire the built-in flash and neither remote flash will work.) If you really want to use TTL, the only way to do it is without the included remotes. Use one of the speedlights connected to the hot-shoe mount on your camera (or connected with a flash cord, not included) set for TTL and the other speedlight off-camera and set to S1 (slave mode). The on-camera flash will trigger the off-camera flash with this setup but you must have line-of-sight between speedlights. I hope this helps.

This device alone will not do what you want it too. You will need other devices to creat a mechanism to flash on and off.

Im assuming thats a camera. The flash has a sync cable and slave. If your camera has a sync option it should work. If your camera has a flash it should also work set in the slave position

No. You need canon 600 rt or equivalent. This system is radio controlled and your flashes do not have that capability.

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

Tried with Nikon flash. The LS can work in remote slave mode, so if your flash goes then LS fires too.

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

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 you can use the built-in flash. As an aside, I recommend getting the weights for the bottom.

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!

Hello Riele, I do not see a remote pictured on this item. I just ordered this kit and do not expect to receive a remote. Perhaps you are confusing it with the flash?
