What trigger/receiver can I use with this strobe if I have a Canon 6d with no pc port. Can I use the Youngnuo 6ccTX? Can I attach 622C to the strobe?

You have a number of options. You can use the optical slave and trigger it with the flash from the 6D, just don't use the preflash. You could use any of the generic Chinese 4 or 16 channel wireless triggers with the transmitter on the hot shoe since it doesn't know the difference between Nikon, Canon or any other flash other than Sony (who had to re-invent the hot shoe). If you already have a 622 transceiver/transmitter system, you can use that too. Take one of the transceivers and plug the PC end of the sync cable that comes with the strobe into the PC port on the 622 transceiver. Take the 1/4" phone end and plug that into the strobe. I'd run a loop of heavy nylon thread through the opening on the 622 and hang it on the strobe somewhere. I'd also find a short version of that sync cable too. It may be easier to find a PC to 3.5mm and then just use a 3.5mm (mono) to 1/4" (mono) adapter

If you have a trigger with a receiver that has a 1/4" plug, you can use that. The receiver has to have the 1/4" plug to plug into the unit and you can set up you trigger to your receiver accordingly. The unit also has a slave feature, so if you have a flash mounted on the hot shoe or elsewhere, it will trigger the unit when it flashes, but you have to be careful when using the slave, as anyone with a flash on their camera will trigger it.

Use the Phottix Strato transmitter and receiver for Canon. If you can afford it, use the Phottix Odin transmitter and receiver for Canon.

Not sure if you found your answer, but you'll need this to fire the strobe instead of using the pop-up flash on your camera body: Cowboystudio 4-Channel Radio Remote Trigger with 2 Receivers for Studio Strobe.It triggers the strobe to flash when you depress the shutter button.

I have two different sets of Yongnuo Triggers.the Yongnuo RF-602 & RF-603 (for Canon) These systems are not cross compatible.. the 602 will not trigger the 603 and vice versa. In addition the cords are proprietary.. I had to buy new cords specifically for the 603s.(Yongnuo LS-PC635 Connector / Sync cable for Yongnuo RF603) The good thing is they are inexpensive.

There are receptors that go on the back of the strobes that if you are using a external flash on your camera they will work automatically. If you are using the internal flash the is a trigger that plugs into the camera or attaches to the flash mount

Don't know anything about the Yongnuo YN622c-TX, I don't know about the Sigma EF-610 DG. It is a super flash, and easy to use. Sorry I can't give a better answer .

I don't know the Canon Xsi, or the Neewer strobe you speak of. What I do know, is that so many cameras do not come with the "PC" connector for both studio and portable flash units. My Canon 6D did not. So this adapter will connect a "PC" connector to my 6D, and I am assuming that it will work with your Xsi. You can go to wikipedia and look up "Flash synchronization" and it will show you what the PC connector will look like on this device.

I use Canon 600 speedlights on the Rapid Box as it comes with an adapter which fits with most speedlights and even the bigger ones like the Canon 600. However, it is a tight fit for the 600 and using it with a hotshoe trigger might create problems (I use the Canon ST-E3-RT to control the flash). Some radio transmitters will work as they can be hung by the side. Hope this helps.

Yes. No problem. You may have to play around with camera/flash settings but mine worked right out of the box without much fiddling. Good flash. I've used it in ETTL, manual, on and off camera. With and without the 622. Never had a missed shot. Use good lithium batteries and the recycle time is quite acceptable. Cheers

That is why I bought the wireless trigger kit "YONGNUO YN-622C-TX E-TTL Wireless Flash Controller for Canon" - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LP30OXE/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This is a great kit - I've tried other more expensive triggers and they didn't work. Vello is dependable and easy to use. I've been using them with my Nikon DSLRs and Speedlight SB800 with umbrella, softbox, etc. Also compatible with other speedlights. Good luck.

Mine is not working with my 6D :( I took it to the camera store and tried it on another 6D and it did the same thing, the flash will fire but the picture will still be dark. I would say on a test of 15 shots, 14 would be dark and 1 would be correct, even though the flash fired each time. We tested it on each of the modes on the flash as well as manual and auto modes on the camera, always with the same negative results. I then placed the flash back on my canon T2i and it worked perfectly on my old canon as it always did :/.

All of the Coyboystudio 4-channel units work together. That being they only trigger flash units. They do not vary the output of dedicated speed lights. I use mine to fire studio strobes and they do a great job. They will fire speedlights just as well but in manual mode.Oh, and despite that James said, mine are very reliable and work incredibly well for such an inexpensive system.

Yes you can! I really love those radio trigger, High speed sync for both speed lights and studio strobes

This is a "dumb" trigger. It has no TTL capability. So you would need to use the flashes in manual mode.

The C1 is for Canon and the N is for Nikon the YN622 is a TTL trigger the RF 603 are manual triggers.

Margaret, I have used this cord with the Yongnuo RF603 unit, but I don't see any reason it shouldn't with the YN 622c. It's just a simple PC to 3.5mm or 6.35mm cord and the YN 622c has a PC connection on it. My only concern would be the YC 622c being able to handle the sync voltage of the strobe you are usinf. However, I have used this cord with a 25 year old Bowens Monolite without problems. Can't guarantee it being OK, but if it were me, I'd give iot a shot. Hope this helps, Dave

I use it with Cactus V5 triggers or Yongnuo yn-560 ii flash. Basically any simple trigger or manual flash.
