can the receiver trigger a Canon flash?

Should work but for Nikon or Canon there are other that you may be interested for better features.

I don't know. I use two Neewer TT560 flashes, and the Trigmaster fired them without a problem. Unfortunately, for some reason the Trigmasters were not in sync with the shutter of my Olympus E-PL5, and all the pictures were dark. I had to return the Trigmasters.

No reason not. Howevery double check to make sure your flash is on the compatible flash list and sometime if the flash needs specific cable to fit the data port then you will need to have the right canon cable to fit it. The trigger itself is a reliable device to send the sync signal.

If you use the cowboy studio triggers for your Sony flash it will work just fine. I'm a Canon user and the first time I used this beauty dish the results were amazing. I ll email you the photo if you'd like. My email address is lavarplummer@yahoo.com

If they are on the same frequencies, and the same channe,l yes it will trigger there flash unit.

I've never used the built in receiver on my flash units, I have one yonguo 603N for each flash and so I use it in a sort of manual way.

I'm sure you could optically but I don't think the ST-E3-RT will work with any existing strobes using the signals provided by Canon out of the ST-E3-RT. If anyone else knows please correct me if I'm wrong..There might be a few companys designing new strobes to function with it...I would buy a few. I would HATE to mix receivers but if I could operate an additional strobe with a simple receiver that the ST-E3 could communicate with then possibly...

Yes it can, in both Radio mode with compatible 600ex-rt flashes, or Optical mode with other flashes. It functions essentially the same as Canon's speedlite transmitter, allowing you to control up to 5 individual flashes or 15 flashes ins groups of three all from the transmitter. It will allow you to individually set the ratio of each flash to that of the main flash or Group A. From there you may also adjust the power of the A group, and the subset groups will adjust accordingly. I.E. if the B group is set to 1/2 ratio to the A flash group, when A is set to 1/1 power , B group will fire at 1/2 power. If A is then lowered to 1/2 (from the Remote transmitter) power the B group will automatically reduce and fire at 1/4 power.

Yes it will. The receiver mounts into the flash hot shoe and a wire is plugged into micro phone jack behind the rubber cover on the side of the camera. The remote unit will then trigger the camera. It will work up to 300 feet away. I am really pleased with the way it works. Both the sending and receiving units require batteries. I do have a bad habit of forgetting to turn the receiver off when I put it back into my camera bag. I just make sure that I am carrying replacement batteries.

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.

You will need two receivers. One for each flash. One transmitter will go on your camera.

I have no experience with the particular flash you mention. However, I have no reason to believe it won't work. It is a simple device - it gives you a PC connection on the Canon cameras - in my case, a 6D. In times past, the PC connection came in the camera body. For some reason, they are no longer including the built-in PC connection. So this is the answer, and it works. And you know what? If it doesn't work with your flash, then send it back. I don't believe that you will ever have to return it.

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

If you have a trigger with a receiver that has a 1/4" plug, you can use that. The receiver has to have the 1/4" plug to plug into the unit and you can set up you trigger to your receiver accordingly. The unit also has a slave feature, so if you have a flash mounted on the hot shoe or elsewhere, it will trigger the unit when it flashes, but you have to be careful when using the slave, as anyone with a flash on their camera will trigger it.

I have two of theses flashes and i use my SB 900 to trigger then. These units have specific modes - one for Nikon and one for Cannon. You just need to make sure you are in the Nikon mode and you should be good to go.

I don't think so, it's a radio trigger only, your flash is an infrared rcvr only. You can use the ST-E2 transmitter, which is an IR transmitter

I am sure it could be used as a master flash, but I don't know if it would sync with your Canon.

Hello, not sure what are you trying to do, but here is what i use them for. I use them with Canon. I put the transmitter on the hot shoe of the camera with the selector on FLASH. The receiver on a flash unit and set the selector on FLASH. Assuming they are in the same channel, when you take a shot in your camera the flash unit will trigger. I haven't use it as a shutter release but i assume you have to connect a cable from the transmitter to the camera and then simply press the button on the transmitter and it should take the shot.

You COULD, but you'll need to have or purchase a remote trigger for the flash. There is no built-in remote trigger option on the flash itself.
