I have D700 and can't seem to get this working. Do you have to have a cable attached or can you just have receiver in hot shoe? if cable which one?

I no longer have this item which I used on the D300. It worked fine for me I really liked it but my D7100 doesn't have the matching receptacle. No cable involved. Plug the receiver into the camera. The D-300 has a receptacle on the front left of the lens mount. I used to hang it on the tripod hook. As I recall You have to hold the remote "on" button for a few seconds. I was pleased with it and was hoping to use it on my D 7100. It doesn't connect to the hot shoe. I used to use it with the flash in the up position. I admit it took a few minutes to find the correct place to connect the receiver cable under a rubber cap on the front.

I had that cable and when it worked, it worked. More than not, it would shoot whenever it pleased among other things. Return it and get the Nikon. Unfortunately, I was out of state when I got fed up with it for the last time and I just threw it in the garbage, which is, in my opinion, the appropriate place for it.

We had this for our nikon D300. It did not work so the supplier sent a different model which works most of the time.

Check you camera for an input and read the owners manual for info about plug in accessories. You could check the Nikon web site for the D7000. I have the D90, 5000 and D600 and it works on all three, so it probably will work on yours. There is also a wireless one that I use mostly. You could also go to a dealer and check out the remote. RC

Should work just fine. This unit is triggered by the hot shoe. It works great on my D800 and my D7000.

The hot shoe on this unit only serves as a mount so no data is transmitted through it. The data connection is through a cable via the remote port. So it will work with the camera but you will need a adaptor if you want it to mount to the hot shoe. They're about twenty five bucks at B & H.

You have a number of options. You can use the optical slave and trigger it with the flash from the 6D, just don't use the preflash. You could use any of the generic Chinese 4 or 16 channel wireless triggers with the transmitter on the hot shoe since it doesn't know the difference between Nikon, Canon or any other flash other than Sony (who had to re-invent the hot shoe). If you already have a 622 transceiver/transmitter system, you can use that too. Take one of the transceivers and plug the PC end of the sync cable that comes with the strobe into the PC port on the 622 transceiver. Take the 1/4" phone end and plug that into the strobe. I'd run a loop of heavy nylon thread through the opening on the 622 and hang it on the strobe somewhere. I'd also find a short version of that sync cable too. It may be easier to find a PC to 3.5mm and then just use a 3.5mm (mono) to 1/4" (mono) adapter

Your question is not clear. There is a cable that runs from the camera body to the receiver which slides into the hot shoe (although it doesn't need the electrical contacts in the shoe... I've used it with an external flash on the shoe and the receiver hanging alongside the camera). This is an electronic release with a remote control, not a mechanical cable.

The receiver does not need to be mounted on the camera's hotshoe to function. The product is shipped with an extension cord that connects the receiver to the camera (on the Nikon it plugs into the remote shutter release port on the side of the camera). I simply let the receiver hang down, or if I'm using a tripod I sometimes use a small velcro strap to secure the receiver to a leg fo the tripod. I use this corded connection quite often when I am shooting bounce flash with a SB-900 mounted on the hotshoe and it works great.

It does not get the firmware update through the USB cable. You have to download Version 1.2 (Dec '11) from the Nikon site to your desktop then click and drag it over into your SDHC memory card. If your computer can't read a SDHC card directly, you'll need a card reader. Then put the card into the P7000 and scroll around to find the firmware update. The camera will take it from there. FYI Ver. 1.2 does contain all that was in Ver. 1.1.

Nice try. I did just that but it didn't work. I don't know if the type of SD card matters and I didn't investigate further. The camera stuck with a flashing "for", supposedly means "formatting". Otherwise this adapter works just fine with one card. 16GB is more than enough for my D700 anyway. Good luck.

You're right - the receiver is normally mounted on top of the camera. However, it doesn't actually need the hot shoe, you just need it wired in at the side. I tend to just hang it over the top of the camera, at the shutter side. It isn't tidy, but it does the job exactly as I want it!

It wasn't designed to work with Hot Shoe 2 cord, but you can purchase a cheap set of radio slaves like I did. Put one on the camera and one on the flash and Ta Da! Without the cord you will have to shoot in manual mode, but it's not a biggie. Not sure what you're shooting, but I just started shooting with it on the camera using a Gary Fong light dome modifier and bouncing it off the ceiling. Exposures come out great!

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.

You will need the hot shoe adapter. That flash has the older minolta hot shoe.

I cannot answer that question directly since I have a Nikon D800E, but you can use a independent hot shoe to connect via a cable. Or you can trigger the flash wirelessly via those components. The corded hot shoe would be the reasonable cost effective option, but wireless triggering other products would be more appropriate.

I have a D5100 and it works just fine. The little flash sync trigger slides into the hot shoe and there you go ready to shoot.

I have the Nikon D700 and this worked fine. It plugs into the 10-pin connector on the camera, same as a cable release.

I use Nikon but when I attach a flash to my hot shoe, I plug the transmitter into my Nikon flash via the pc synch cord. When I click, my on camera flash flashes and it activates the transmitter to set off any studio flashes that I have connected. All in synch with my shutter. I don't have a way to plug a receiver into my Nikon flash to be activated by a transmitter attached to my hot shoe.
