Will this work on a non-Nikon flash? I have an old Focal M500C-Zoom Auto Electronic Flash Unit I want it for.

The vivitar Fcnik Flash Cord that I ordered from Amazon not too long ago does not work between Nissin DI866 Mark II and Nikon D7100 body. It does work between Nikon SB700 and Nikon D7100 body. The possible cause according I see is a dimenssion or out-of-spec on the contact pins.

Provided the contacts are correct (Canon in my case) for the camera and for the flash, then yes it should work. However, you might consider a better quality cord for your higher end flash unit.

No it won't work. Frankly...stay away from Neewer products especially their flash system and batteries.

They will work on any Nikon DSLR for certain. The other person who answered clearly got a defective unit. I have two receivers and use it with two off-camera flashes and they work extremely well. I think it's an inexpensive way to get into manual off-camera flash and certainly reliable enough. The alternatives only get more and more expensive.

I bought it for my daughter, who has a Canon. I don't know why it wouldn't work on a Nikon unless they use a different hot shoe. My daughter uses it both auto and remote mode. Hope this helps.

It will work with it if your lens has a diameter for filters that is one listed in the adapting rings that come with the flash. It will work, but so far, I have not got good photography results with the unit.

It will work beautifully. Just remember to get the one for Nikon mount and you can get it with the focus confirmation chip. Enjoy!

It should. Sounds like the same thing I am doing. Only problem is, you will not have electronic exposure control on the remote flash, only trigger.

It will work on any DSLR in the auto sensor mode, in that it will fire when it should. Just keep in mind that it is not TTL capable, so if your camera body is set at ISO 400 and your lens is set at f8 aperture for example, the auto sensor dial on the front of the flash would be set on the red mark, and the flash's auto sensor should expose properly as long as you're within the distance range indicated on the scale on the side dial. Just remember to adjust the manual three-position flash head to match the focal length of your lens. And by the way, if you need-super fast recycling at times, go with a high voltage battery such as the Cheetah or Bolt, along with the matching cord for the HV input of the flash.

THis should work. As long as it holds the spot for it, it will work. Also will work with the flash when its off of it.

It should work.. the power output is not that off a true nikon flash.. it does not do the off camera I-ttL for the price it's a good on camera flaw.

agree with other posts, it "should" work with any modern Canon camera flash pair. It should have all the same functions that your flash has with the camera now. (for example - if you have a 3rd party flash that doesn't do something like E-TTL now it won't work with this either). Works well with 60D and 430EX II speed-light combo.

Yes with a caveat. The camera will only fire the flash and this unit should prevent the voltage of the flash fom frying the camera's electronics. It is always best to use a camera specific dedicated flash if you can afford it - this would give you all the features of the flash including safety. I would never use one of these on an expensive camera despite the claims.

I would think so. It worked with my SB700 and SB800 flashes. I also used a Nikon D610 with the Multi 5 in 1 units. Hope this helps.

It should work OK as long as the the Meike flash is 100% compatible with the Nikon i-TTL/CLS system. I love the triggers in general as they fire reliably.

This is a non dedicated flash so it will work, but it cannot be controlled by the camera. You would need a TTL flash if you wanted the camera to control the flash. All adjustments would be done on the flash.

Please note:flash unit is NOT included. This is a diffuser that is placed over your existing "hot shoe" flash. So it will work with any camera that uses a standard external flash gun including the Nikon D5100.
