The cool wireless function, can I use that with 5d mark iii only, without a transmitter? Thanks a lot!

All of the great functions including wireless on the 600 ex-rt can be used with the 5d Mk III. It's the older cameras that don't have the use of all functions. You can either buy the separate transmitter to fire each flash or one of the flashes can be used as a master to fire the rest.

No, you do not need an additional transmitter. My camera has a remote sensor on the front of the camera!

You should purchase an extra XLR cable to give yourself some room to work with, but yes, you can go straight in to the camera and no you don't need some kind of transmitter.

I doubt it. Only because it is only designed to control shutter. On the 5D Mark III video isn't controlled by the shutter button.

No! You wont be able and whatch out! my transmitter just got broken by holding a Canon Speedlite 430 ex. You'll have hard time getting replaced or repair.

I don't see why not. I tried in my 7D and 5DMKIII and it worked beautifully. I even tried the master function to control my other Canon Speedlites and it worked flawlessly. I highly recommend it for any EOS camera. However, your T3 already has a built in FLASH which most likely is as powerful as this little flash. On the other hand, this little flash adds the ability to wirelessly control other Canon Speedlites.

The wireless remote does work- I have the Cannon 7D EOS. It does take a bit of time to learn the steps needed to get the setup working. It is a harder to explain to someone else, Make sure you are in direct view of the sensor on the camera or it will not get the signal--this occurs if you have the camera on a tripod and you are NOT in front. Practice outside and find out what impact there is on the signal. Check battery--need fresh fully charged to get bet distance and response.

Reading the comments to this question, I'm a little confused. If my camera has built-in commander capability, will I still need to the transmitter and receiver? If this flash can receive the signal from my camera's commander system, am I all set in terms controlling the flash when it's off-camera?

With newer 2012 + cameras yes. Still a bit buggy on my 7D. Works fine on my 5D3 and eos -M

I suggest you buy the RC-6 Wireless Controller, slightly better features. Always check with Canon on product capability issues to be sure. I use the RC-6 with my Canon 7D and love it. Follow this link to see a listing on Amazon.com Canon RC-6 Wireless Remote Controller for Canon XT/XTi, XSi, T1i and T2i Digital SLR Cameras Respectfully, Roland.

I do not have a 6D. On my 7D the need for the ST-E2 transmitter is eliminated since the function is built into the camera body. My understanding is the transmitter was useful for older model Canon cameras without this function.Peter Lenz

The model that I received will not work with the 7D or the 5D Mk III. The connector would require an adapter. If you want one with the correct connector then get this: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003F69JBW/

The receiver and any cameras that are paired with the receiver need electrical power. The wireless feature only applies to the signal coming from any camera to the receiver. There is no physical connection between any camera and the receiver.

I don't have a 5d III but a T3i. I don't see why it would not work......These things are awesome....

If you're using it wirelessly, would you use an adapter at all? The HVL units will only work in wireless mode with the onboard Sony flash AFAIK (I own 6 Sony/Minolta rigs) - this is to be able to use the proprietary Sony footed flashes on a standard hot shoe like Canon. I use a few different Sony flashes with A77 and A7r and the WL mode only works with the A77. For A7r, or for wireless use with Canikon, set your Sony flash to SL1 for immediate slave, SL2 for 2nd flash sync (preflash/ADI/TTL on camera) and they work perfectly with no adapter but all power/zoom settings are manual.

I asked Phottix this question for my Pentax k10D, their reply."The Aion model for it is the Canon version (it includes a C6 cable - 2.5mm). when you intend to use it wirelessly, you just need to connect the receiver to the camera, and either leave it on the hotshoe or just hang around since the communication between the receiver and the camera is via the cable, not the hotshoe."

I don't think it can be used wireless without cable connections. You can setup it with your wireless router to monitor it through your smartphone or laptop but connection between this system and cameras is just physical. There are some other wireless systems available from Swann I think which be costly.
