So is this all I need to make just one flash fire off-camera?

Yes. One on your camera and one connected to your flash. It comes with cords so it should be all you need to fire one flash as long as your flash has an external connection to use.

These units are Transceivers and can act to receive and/or transmit. One for the camera and one for each flash unit. I use four, one for the camera to transmit, and the other three for each flash unit.

I have a transmitter on each of my stobes and one for my camera. I like knowing my flashes wil fire off everytime and offers me ease of placement

Yes. One pocket wizard goes on camera and acts as a slave. Second pocket wizard connects to flash and is set as a slave.

If flashes and strobes are set to "slave" you need only one transmtter and receiver for one flash/ strobe to fire off the others. If you want to group you need more fir each grouped unit.

You'll need one for the camera and one for the flash so you need two to support one camera and one flash. Hope that helps.

Decidedly better. I've been using an Omni-Bounce, Gary Fong Lightsphere, etc., but getting the flash up off the camera has made a big difference. Of course, you will need a cable or do as I did and spring for a set of Phottix remote flash triggers. :)

If you just want to trigger an off-camera flash, you need to have a hot shoe on the Canon. Then you'll need pocket wizards (PW) for the camera and the flash. Without a hot shoe on the camera, the PW won't work.

I believe it is actually unusually easy. You will have a sensor that goes on top of your camera, over the flash. Then you will have a plug in for one of the lights. The second softbox will flash a few seconds after the first softbox flashes. I got stuck on this too and had someone from photography class help me. I hope this answers your question.

It does have a setting on it to allow you to trigger it from another flash, I would recommend spending the extra ten dollars and getting the 300 watt one.

I do not know because I do not have the same camera. More likely it will still trigger the flash.

You can force the flash while out of "auto" mode. You have a programmer with several option for the flash. It's really simple to use.

Yes. You go to Menu&gt;Camera settings&gt;2&gt;Flash mode. Select "fill flash" from the menu and the flash will go off, regardless of the light levels. Naturally, the flash needs to be opened/up for this to work.

This flash can trigger off camera flashes as per the printed instructions that come with the camera package. This HVLF20M FLASH unit cannot be used an an off camera flash but, can control OFF camera flash units as per the printed instructions arriving with the HVLF20M package.

Like I said earlier this is a lamp not a flash. Just make shire that the camera that you use either 1) has the same multi interface shoe to mont the lamp on. Or 2) you have an adapter to go from what ever shoe you camera has to the MI shoe the lamp has. Or 3) you have a tripod the you can screw on to the bottom of the lamp

If your built-in flash is popping up, then you can use your speedlite flash externally, off the camera. Most digital cameras will have settings in which you select how you want to use your flash, such as if you want to use a remote flash - read thru your owner's manual to get the exact info for your camera. What kind of camera do you have? I bought this speedlite for my Pentax and it works great - I like to use it remotely, off the camera, with a diffuser.

Yes. Exactly. You can use one at the camera'a hot shoe and one other at each flash being controlled by it. Just stop looking and buy it. There's not even a closer solution available at the same price range.

is there a SENSOR on the flash to use as a off camera flash? or do i need a mount a transmitter to shoot off camera?

I have the same kit and used it in a photoshoot I did. It works well, once all the devices are synchronized. If the flash didn't go off, as happened to me at times, a little bit of trouble shooting can be done, by reconnecting the devices again, manually trigger the flash bulbs and checking back the transmitter settings as well as the camera. Whenever that happens to me I do just what I told you and it works. The equipment works well.

You can change setting on flash to "Slave" and the flash unit is auto triggered by another flash. Very nice feature.
