Does the receiver have to be connected via hotshoe?

No, it just keeps it out of the way. Can also just let it dangle if you want to use the flash.

This needs to be addressed with Sony . The unit works with the new Hot Shoe Configuration !

Yes, this set should work with any external flash that connects to a hot-shoe. The only thing it does is send a signal from the transmitter to the receiver which in turn triggers the flash. Just be certain that you flip the small on/off switch on the receiver to on, and the channel switches must have the same settings selected on the transmitter and receiver.

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.

If the receiver has terminals that accept flying/free leads from the speaker wire, it will work

The receiver and any cameras that are paired with the receiver need electrical power. The wireless feature only applies to the signal coming from any camera to the receiver. There is no physical connection between any camera and the receiver.

Works fine for me with direct line of sight. I have the receiver plugged into the front of my computer, so I can't speak to other setups.

The transmitter mounts to your hot shoe and primary flash on top of that. The receiver has a base for it that can be set on a table, or also screwed to your tripod, a much better option.

Yes, the wireless trigger does attach to the a camera's hotshoe. It is a fragile piece; careful with it!

Hi Joshua, The device has a hotshoe plate, however it communicates with the camera via the pin connector. I don't see why you couldn't have another trigger in the hotshoe (ie flash trigger). The only think is that the satechi trigger will be dangling from the pun connection on the side of your camera. Maybe a dual hotshoe mount could work. Cheers Rene

No, that's not correct. It has a cable that connects to the cameras shutter release. The hot shoe is there just for convenience, it has nothing to do with the remote function. The remote function is through the cable from the receiver to camera.

Yes, you do have to be connected/wired. No wireless yet, unless you're barefoot on the ground.

Yes, a small wire has to connect the two units. I'm using mine between our house and a garage 200 feet away. I'm using an existing pair of unused telephone wires to make the connection. If you don't have any easy way of routing a pair of wires between the units, I opt for a wireless unit.

Yes, the receiver unit attaches to the top of the camera through a port called an "interactive shoe."

Yes, it does remove the ability to mount something else on the hotshoe if you choose to mount the receiver there. However, what I usually do is that I take a little risk and just dangle the receiver from the cable and keep the hotshoe free for something else.

The receiver has only an output jack. Connect it at the start of the chain.

Yes. I connect to the wired, usually no pswd, then connect My devices. Or connect wireless and only have to conect to net gear.
