Do you have to attach the receiver to your hot shoe? What if I want to use flash and I need that hot shoe, will this remote still work?

The receiver connects to the USB port on the camera. It just mounts on the hot shoe to keep it from flopping around. You can use the flash.

The hot shoe only acts as a support and need not be used for the unit. You can still use the remote and that flash at the same time!

You don't have to attach to the hot shoe. The receiver connects to camera via the connector on the left, so I hang the receiver to the strap if I have to use the flash. And it still works fine

It doesn't use the hot shoe for anything more than a convenient holder. You can let it dangle off the camera's side. It plugs into the side port. I've done this and used a hotshoe flash without a problem.

No you do not have to buy a remote trigger. It comes with a trigger that attaches to your camera's hot shoe to activate the flash. But they can also be set to slave and have them trigger off of your on camera flash, whether it is the built in or a speed light.

I don't know, but the transmitter works on a standard hot shoe. So if your flash is compatible with a standard hot shoe then the receiver should trigger it. It works fine with a Canon 7D and Canon Speedlight. For the price, it's been great investment.

You don't mount a flash on this unit. This unit mounts on the camera hotshoe and becomes a trigger for a YN-622N iTTL unit that is used off camera. Hope that answers your question.

The receiver can be mounted on the camera's flash hot shoe for mechanical support, but there is no electrical connection between the receiver and the hot shoe. The receiver is very lightweight, so it could be taped elsewhere within reach of the cable, which is about 11" (28cm) long. I sometimes allow the receiver to dangle from its cable.

The cabes are included. No remotes are involved. This item comes with two pieces one goes on the the hot shoe and the other on the flash. If you want to trigger flash remotely this is not the product for you.

No it won't. I purchased a hot shoe converter (under $12) to connect to my wireless camera transmitter. The hot shoe converter was modified by installing a small push button switch in series with a 1/4 watt 20K resistor to the 2 flash contacts. By removing the transmitter from my camera and attaching it to the flash converter (now with push button), I have a remote flash. Done for under $20. It beats spending over $100-$300 more for a light meter equivalent.

Yes, there is a hot shoe and I believe it can trigger a flash remotely also if I'm not mistaken.

The receiver doesn't need to mount on the hotshoe to work. The mount is only there to hold the receive. The receiver will still work hanging on the side of the camera.

Hello Riele, I do not see a remote pictured on this item. I just ordered this kit and do not expect to receive a remote. Perhaps you are confusing it with the flash?

No. The transmitter attaches to the hot shoe where your flash will need to attach.

Make sure both are on the same channels..check settings within the camera for internal / external flash. What model camera? And the transmitter is being mounted to the shoe, correct?

The receiver mounts to the hot shoe (it is the flash/accessorie cradle on top of your camera).

This is a 'cold' shoe...in other words, there is no power or triggering of the flash available at all. If you will be using a wired or wireless remote to trigger the flash, then, yes....these will work with any flash. In my instance, I am using Saberstrip lights which have no flash mount inside. I have the cold shoe mounted inside the light, then attach a flash to it, and wire it to a remote receiver outside the flash. Then, when the camera triggers the remote the flash fires. I also use a cold shoe for a continuous LED video light. The cold shoe is attached to a mono pod, then the LED light sits on the shoe.

You can remote 1 (one) flash without it, but if you use two or three flashes, it is required. Hope this helped.

Yeah. I use mine with remote wireless triggers all the time. I really like the flash. It works great on the hot shoe in manual or ettl and the wireless remote has only missed a couple of times but more due to the trigger than the flash. It's a solid flash

Not sure, but would assume so. The transmitter mounts on the hot shoe and sends the signal from the camera to the receiver with the flash mounted on it. Wish I could be of more assistance.
