I purchased a SB-700 flash and looking trigger it remotely without needing the built in flash to go off as well. Will all i need is a set?

Hello Orlando, I bought 3 of them to use one on top of the camera and two on 2 speedlights or strobes. So yes, yo need one on you dslr so it can send the signal to your sb700, just make sure it is compatible with the sb700 before buying. It works wonderful.

correct..........Ive been using them for my wedding. So far, so good. I love it that I can use TTL and Manual at the same time.

A pair of these would certainly get the job done. but you can trigger remote flashes without triggering the built in flash anyway, all you have to do is to disable the trigger in the menu.

Yes this will work without the on-camera flash. It will handle high speed synch as well (I have had success up to 1/8000sec shutter). You will NOT be able to control the settings via the Nikon in-camera Commander settings as this will only affect IR speedlights triggered from the on-camera flash. Another benefit I like about these triggers is that the focus assist works well in very low light settings (better than the on-camera assist). You will need to get familiar with the manual to setup the triggers...this can get a bit confusing so read the manual carefully. I have had good success with these triggers.

Oh and you dont need to use the built in flash, just one of the remotes atatched and the other on your speedlight.

If you want to trigger it with TTL, yes. There are pocket wizards that do the same thing and they are much more expensive! You can trigger with manual mode on these as well.

If the flash is on the comparability list then a set is all you need to make it work.

I have two of theses flashes and i use my SB 900 to trigger then. These units have specific modes - one for Nikon and one for Cannon. You just need to make sure you are in the Nikon mode and you should be good to go.

You can use it either way. You can buy radio triggers (an additional item) or you can use the built in optical slave (S1 or S2 mode); An optical slave requires another flash to trigger it.

it will set the flash off and I don't know what the trigger life is I just got it, will not transmit ettl settings but it will fire the flash

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.

I use the R1 wireless system from Nikon on my 200mm Micro-Nikkor. The pop up flash on the camera functions as the commander to trigger 4 SB-R200 (NIkon) flash units attached to the adaptor ring at the end of the lens. When more light is needed, I hand hold my SB-910 (Nikon speedlight) near the subject in remote mode. The pop-up flash will remotely trigger the SB-910 as well. f16 on the 200 seems to get me the best results, but that requires a lot of light.

I was confused as well. But yes more equipment is needed to use as an off camera flash. the ETTL function just allows the flash and camera figure out the exposure for you. I got the Yongnuo YN-622C transmitters and they work great. You need one for every flash unit you want to trigger and one for your camera. Or for on your camera you can get the YONGNUO YN-622C-TX E-TTL transmitter, which allows you to quickly change your flashes settings. Helpful if your camera doesn't have a wireless flash control setting built in.

Each item (flashes & triggers) have a manuals in th box. The flashes sit on the triggers switch trigger to flash mount command to your camera and fire away! ( fresh batteries are a must!!

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

Yes. These only trigger the flashes firing, it doesn't control the amount of power that each flash uses.

i use these with a nikon d90 camera. the flashes i use is a sb900 and a sb700. i have used a couple of times and feel very comfortable. i have not used with off brand flashes. they do have on and off switches on top which are difficult to flip when flashes are attached. so you have to take flashes off then turn off or on. i will purchase another set hoping i can use with 2 remote flashe, along with my master flash on my camera.. hope this helps

This is not my area of experience, with this remote. It doesn't have a button for it, so I doubt it will work a flash. All the other remote triggers work well.

I am sure that you can because I test them without using the camera. You simply push the button on the transmitter which sends the signal to the receiver, triggering the flash. By the way, I just love these. I have three receivers and two transmitters.

The short answer is yes. Set one trigger on transmit and the rest on receiver mode and press the middle botton and your should get the flashes to fire.
1657035
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.

The unit is packaged with a stand that can be used to mount the flash off camera. You have two options that you can use to remotely trigger the flash. You can either set it to S1 (Optical slave mode) & trigger it with the built in pop-up flash on your Canon DSLR or purchase a set of Yongnuo wireless flash triggers/wireless shutter release triggers (http://www.amazon.com/Yongnuo-RF-603-C1-Wireless-Transceiver/dp/B0050E7OSM/ref=pd_sim_p_7). I personally prefer using the triggers. The downside to either method is that you'll lose E-TTL capability using the flash off camera.

Yes.. you need one per light + the transmitter (from the camera)If you want a cheaper alternative get the PW PlusXNote: I use PW because got 2 as gift quite some time ago and to keep compatibility, as my light set up grew. However, there's more affordable remote trigger systems out there that are very reliable (as per my fellow photographers who use them)
