The screen does go black. It only works for the t2i. I does not work for my t4i. Dont waist your money.

you may want to look at the specs of the product in detail, i believe they explain this issue there. i know it comes with adapters for several canon models. i have a 7d and the adapter worked fine, but i threw away the rest so i can't tell you if it comes with the t3i one.

I have a Canon T3i and the supplied cables work wonderfully with my camera. Haven't had a problem at all. It comes with two cables supplied, one for pro cameras and the other for cameras in the hobby/enthusiast class like the T3i.

I bought this flash to go on a Canon Rebel T4i. After the first couple of months I could not get it to work at all. The flash would not flash etc... I took the camera and flash to the local camera shop and was told that Canon camera's are very persnickety in regards to the flash. They just don't communicate with an off brand flash. I bought a Canon flash and have had no more problems at all.

Thanks but what I'd like to understand is how it can be working perfectly one day, shut off while not in use, then the next time I turn it on, the image on the LCD screen is blurred, I haven't even pressed the shutter release yet, (and wouldn't due to the blurred and dark image). How can that happen? Why is there a need to adjust ISO settings when they haven't been touched?!

Hi there -- this may be irrelevant, but they're asking me to communicate. I never used Canon, bought this slave to enable me to use auxiliary flash with a Fuji 3D camera. The idea is this: Most today's hi-tech flashes emit a series of light impulses to pre-evaluate the scene, the pop responsible for actual exposure (when the shutter opens) being the last one. To use an external slave flash you need either turn off all camera's pre-flashes (switch it to 'dumb' mode -- impossible with my Fuji) or use a slave that will ignore pre-flashes, such as this unit. That's why I bought it and it works for me. Try to read the manual for your Canon and see what your options are. It always helps to have a clear understanding what goes on. Cheers! M.B.

I can't remember.I installed switch on the monitor to turn it on & off.The monitor stays on when the switch is turned on. I have a switch on the camera also.

Same thing happened to me. The camera needs to be active, not just on. For example I have a nikon d3100 and the display/ view screen needs to be on. It has something to do with providing power to the card.

Mine is not working with my 6D :( I took it to the camera store and tried it on another 6D and it did the same thing, the flash will fire but the picture will still be dark. I would say on a test of 15 shots, 14 would be dark and 1 would be correct, even though the flash fired each time. We tested it on each of the modes on the flash as well as manual and auto modes on the camera, always with the same negative results. I then placed the flash back on my canon T2i and it worked perfectly on my old canon as it always did :/.

I haven't been able to find a place to plug it in on my D3000. I bought it to use it on a D3, where it works just fine. - The Legendary

It will onlyy work with magic lantern software on your t3. Without magic lantern it will just turn off your view finder.

Mine arrived with a cable that wouldn't fit my T3i. I don't know if the fitting on the camera is the same for all Canons. Fortunately Vanguard's customer service was easy to reach, and they sent me a new cable at no charge--and that one works. Obviously I can't promise you a free cable, but they were very nice about it to me.

Were you able to find the wrist strap connector? I just bought my D10 as a lightning deal on Amazon. A week later I took it to Hawaii and my boyfriend dropped it on the floor from his hand, the connector broke! I need to find a replacement too. If you know where to buy one, other than ebay, let me know. Thanks!

I bought three batteries for the T5i Canon and couldn't find the charger. So I bought another charge, actually two, one was $15 and the other was $30. One the box plugs into the wall and the other has a power cord from the box to the wall..and that looks like the one you have. Both will charge the batteries. I found the first charger so now I have three. NOTE...the charger that comes with the camera Rebel T5i is the LC-E8E shown in the picture. There is a STK SterlingTek LCH-LP-E8 for about $15 but it has a swing out plug for the wall. Yes, it works fine but you might have a problem plugging it in some sockets. So, to answer your question....YES the LC-E8E is for the Rebel T5i camera. I would stay with the charger in the picture. My question, you said t5?? did you mean T5i EOS REBEL. My camera came with two batteries but you might want to get two more batteries and keep one in your pocket. If you are planning to buy the LC-E8E charger, good, that's the one. Sorry I didn't see your message till now.

There is no direct connection to you camera..... It's used as a "slave" Just plug it in to electrical power and any flash will set it off..... ie a studio light or your on camera flash. Keep in mind if you have what is called TTL flash or "through the lens" this light will mess up the flash exposure. Depending on your expertise in photography.... for now, don't worry about the TTL stuff.... just plug it in and fire a flash and see how nice it works..... I'll answer any follow-up questions if needed

I used it with my canon 60d and t4i with no problems. I work for Lifetouch national school studios with their Nikon d 200's with a large power light with no problems as well. On the transmitter that goes on the camera it only has one little pin in the middle that touches the flash mount receptor. I hope that's understandable. I don't know how to explain it. Anyways it works with my personal cameras and work cameras no problems.
