what is a slave flash?
796750
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.

It works as a slave with any flash camera, your onboard flash triggers it's flash. It does Not work with the cameras built in flash shoe; it mounts on the included bar which mounts to the cameras tripod screw hole.

Actually, I have done it. If the 430EXii is in slave mode and the red part of the flash is pointed towards any other flash, the 430EXii will fire if the original flash is powerful/close enough. Happy shooting.

You could set two of the speed lights to slave and they should fire on the flash of the master which would be connected to a pocket wizard. A pocket wizard connected to each light will also work well.

No idea. I bought it. Wasn't impressed. Plus flash didnt pop out consistently and returned it.

The flash is compatible with your camera, but I'm not sure about it running as a slave if you are using a commander set up for multiple flashes. It may be fine as a slave, but I'd research it more. Stand alone, it will do well. I love mine.

I purchased two of these flashes to use with wireless remotes with my portable studio. They work great - but you have to set them manually for the intensity of flash you desire. I use a Canon Speedlite 420ex on my Canon EOS Rebel T2i so it integrates with the proprietary links built into Canon.

I mount my camera on a bracket and use the flash with a radio slave bought from amazon. It works fine.i believe the radio slave is made by cowboy. Not too expensive. When I used the flash on the camera, I had some issues

It doesn't flash. Probably the Chinese manufacturer didn't understand the meaning of the word "flash" and threw it in there as a descriptor. It projects stars to the ceiling if you remove the opaque blue cap. Its plug-in is a USB, which I found surprising. Runs on batteries also.

The flash is controlled by the camera, so yes. This plugs into the remote-control interface.

Yes Daryl it does operate as a slave and the height is around 3 or 4 feet. Haven't used it in a while so I'm not too positive about the height. For the price it's a pretty decent strobe.

It works very well. There is no problem. It also works very well as master or slave when used in a wireless set up with Canon or other speed lights

I don't know What you mean with "slave cell". But It has slave function. It has optical slave capabilities which can supports TTL. In this method It uses infrared. It also has simple slave function which means it can be triggered simply by lights of built in flash.

Pocket Wizard. I actually use this on slave and trigger my main alien bees from the pocket wizard, in the studio, but also use the pocket wizard with this strobe if I am using it on location without the alien bees. If you are on a budget, you can also try this: http://www.amazon.com/Aputure-Trigmaster-Transmitter-Receivers-Trigger/dp/B004FLE5W4/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1407153776&sr=8-14&keywords=flash+triggers

I'm not absolutely sure what is meant by this question but is sounds like he/she is using a Canon Rebel T3i with the studio flash. If the "internal falsh" (sic) is the built-in camera flash (it probably is) and if he/she means that the strobe fires when the built-in camera flash fires, then I presume he/she is using the light sensor slave on the Mettle. (I could be wrong, but this is what I think is meant). So, when the on camera flash is covered, the light sensor slave is not triggered. Does the T3i have a synch cord port? If so, use that. If not, don't cover the built-in flash.
