I wanted to know if the flash light has a flashing mode as well, and if i can use the unit without the remote cable?

There is no Flashing module, just the on-off feature with the button or cable. I prefer flashing with the cable myself. Yes you can use the device with out the cable, the cable makes it easier to operate and stay on target easier

Other than using the on/off switch on the attacable cord to "flash" the light, there is no there way to Flash or blink the light on and off.

No Flashing mode. Yes there is a 4-position switch for off-light/laser-just light-just laser.
1620253
There are three modes, Flashlight, Laser & Flashlight/Laser, No Strobe Mode! And no, you do not have to use the remote cable at all!

There is no flashing mode on this light. It can be used without the cable, it has a push button swith on the back. You can choose between the following, too: light only, laser only, light

Yes you can use the on/off switch on the unit without the cord. No, there is no flash feature without using the cable on/off switch.

It's really easy of you havE a remote: one connects to the hot show of the camera an the other connects to the sync port of the strobe flash: however I have noticed the strobes are " slave " flashes.... So when it detects a flash I. The room, the strobes will fire

Basically this is flash unit, works great with stills, unlikely would work with video, you would be better off with LED lights or another product from Cowboy Studio that uses continuous fluorescent bulbs.

YES!!! It will disable the built in flash even if you will not place the unit in the shoe.... Not worth it...

No. The strobe is a built in feature. If you unplug the unit from the wall it will stop working completely.

I haven't used mine with flash but it has been erratic w/o a flash. I had to go back through the start up procedures and reset the frequency twice. Seems to be ok now. Oh and I replaced all of the batteries just to be sure.

Yes it can, the extra cable with the button allows you to change the flashing modes, or simply have them running without flashing.

Hi! The one I have does not have a flash drive. I used to have one that did, but I did not like having to eject it correctly just to remove the receiver. By the way, I have had a LOT of remotes, and this is by far my favorite. Like the feel, great laser, and, perhaps most important, it uses AA batteries instead of some hard to find disc batteries. Now if they would just put a sliding on-off switch somewhere. I pull the batteries when I am done so that it does not drain in my briefcase if a button is pushed.

Try a tester directly to pos. And neg. Connectors It may be faulty. Or it may just be the flashing unit not working. Good luck. If I can try and help contact me agaon

Any feature that is on the back of the flash unit will work (power output, tilt, etc). It will not handle ttl or fp mode.

The hot shoe only acts as a support and need not be used for the unit. You can still use the remote and that flash at the same time!

I asked my husband because he's the only one that uses it and he said that it has no flashing light, only a solid light when it's turned on.

Yes, although I am not sure about it's capabilities using remote flashes. I am an amateur and I am just now "getting to know" this camera. (it is a great camera and a big step up from my old Alpha) I do not understand all of the flash options and advantages/disadvantages as of now!

No, it's strictly a manual-control flash. A great powerful unit, but you have to think "old school" when using it.

No. This does not appear to be a wireless flash. I use a cheap wireless add-on set with two cheap flashes similar to this one. It works pretty good. But, having the wireless built-in is definitely worth the extra cash, which is why I'm browsing for it right now.

I wish I could tell you. I would also like to know how to "turn off" the stereo and not have the lights start to flash. The only solution I came up with is to unplug the device.

If you have a remote flash connection you may need to get a different cable. They will send you one but you need to order it immediately or they charge you extra - they charged me at least.
