Hi Brenda, it comes with sync cord. But I did buy the wireless transmitter. I bought the transmitter with 2 receivers, pretty inexpensive, and it works well. My flash is a speelight sb700 so I can't use cord.

There is a sync cor provided but it is a bit short. If you have a Speedlite you can trigger these strobes with that or consider buying one of the cheap CowboyStudio 4 Channel Wireless Triggers. I work with both methods often problem free.

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.

Hi there -- this may be irrelevant, but they're asking me to communicate. I never used Canon, bought this slave to enable me to use auxiliary flash with a Fuji 3D camera. The idea is this: Most today's hi-tech flashes emit a series of light impulses to pre-evaluate the scene, the pop responsible for actual exposure (when the shutter opens) being the last one. To use an external slave flash you need either turn off all camera's pre-flashes (switch it to 'dumb' mode -- impossible with my Fuji) or use a slave that will ignore pre-flashes, such as this unit. That's why I bought it and it works for me. Try to read the manual for your Canon and see what your options are. It always helps to have a clear understanding what goes on. Cheers! M.B.

I just ordered this camera so I haven't tried it yet but I have other Canon's and this is how it is done: look at the back of the camera. There is the larger round circle on the right. On the right of the circle there is what looks like a lightning bolt. Press that and it should turn off the flash. Press it again to turn it back on. Hope that helps. UPDATE***** I received my camera so here is an update. In order to turn the flash off the camera has to be set to "program" rather than "auto". Looking at the back of the camera there is a button at the top right. When you have it pushed up where it says "auto" the camera will determine if the flash is needed. If you push it down to the little camera icon it goes to "program" and allows you to set the flash on or off. So to turn off the flash push the top right button down to the little camera icon. Then press the right side of the round circle where the lightning bolt is. At the top of the LCD screen it shows the flash options. Push the right of the circle until the flash off option is highlighted and then press the "func. set" button (in the center of the circle button). Hope that's not too confusing.

You just need two of these devices. One sits in the hotshoe of your camera and the other attaches by an included wire to your speed light. Turn them both on and you're done. It's very easy.

That depends on the connector type on your strobes. The device comes with a 1/4 inch connection sync cord and an 1/8 inch adapter.

On my Rebel XT, it plugs in on the left side of the camera, under the rubber cover in-between the Digital and Video Out plugs. It is a small round plug, and identified with an icon, and you can't mix it up between the other two plugs. You can also try consulting your owner's manual. Good luck.

Dennis, There is a sync cord that connects from the flash to the cameras hot shoe. They normally cost about $20.00 depending on the brand. I keep a couple in my bag just in case one malfunctions. Some of the latest model cameras may be wireless now just like computer printers. DD

There is no direct connection to you camera..... It's used as a "slave" Just plug it in to electrical power and any flash will set it off..... ie a studio light or your on camera flash.Keep in mind if you have what is called TTL flash or "through the lens" this light will mess up the flash exposure.Depending on your expertise in photography.... for now, don't worry about the TTL stuff.... just plug it in and fire a flash and see how nice it works.....I'll answer any follow-up questions if needed

The remote trigger or a sync cord (both come with the flash setup) plug into the strobe using a 1/8 inch plug. The remote trigger has a 1/4 inch plug, but a 1/4 to 1/8 adapter is included. The second strobe can be set as a slave to fire from the strobe that has the sync cord or remote trigger plugged into it.

As long as the device is plugged in the strobe will constantly be palsing. There is a knob on the back that allows you to adjust the speed of the strob but you cant turn it off unless its unplugged.

it drains both at the same rate, you can pull one out and charge while the other is being used, just dont power off if you have an aftermarket battery, then you have to use the nikon to get it back on.

They will with a sync cord, but don't expect to use High Speed Sync or iTTL, that requires specialized "smart" flashes like the Nikon SB-900 or the Youngnuo YN-568 EX II.

In my previous answer, I said to connect it to the ignition circuit. This way, you'll never have to turn the camera on or off. It will come on automatically when the key is on, and turn off when you turn off the engine.

I have used it with a "slave" fired strobe, which picks up the camera flash as a trigger. It takes some trial and error to not burn out the shots with too much light. I don't know if it can be cable connected directly, normally an internal shoe is conected within the case to an exterior cable port connection, this does not have that feature.

As far as I know, there are no strobes attaching to the camera. They are just light bulbs mounted in an umbrella tripods which connect to the outlet.
