Odin transmitter on camera hot shoe / Odin receiver on off-camera 580EX2. Can I use my existing (vello) remote shutter release to fire camera??

Unfortunately we don't think that you can use Vello remotes with Odin receivers.

No, I have not been able to make my D3200 work with SB-500 as remote flash. Transmitter (camera side) in Manual mode, it does trigger SB-500, however, power adjustment (1/2, 1/4, etc.) in the camera does not change output of SB-500 (I assume it stays at 1/1 no matter what). Transmitter in TTL mode, it wouldn't even trigger.

This flash can be fired in slave mode via pop-up or other flash, yes. The flash doesn't use IR and is fully manual, no TTL supported. There is a trigger available for the units that mounts into your hotshoe and fires remotely via radio frequency. The transmitter also allows you to remotely adjust the flash output power from 1/128 to 1/1 in 1/3 stop increments.

The unit is packaged with a stand that can be used to mount the flash off camera. You have two options that you can use to remotely trigger the flash. You can either set it to S1 (Optical slave mode) & trigger it with the built in pop-up flash on your Canon DSLR or purchase a set of Yongnuo wireless flash triggers/wireless shutter release triggers (http://www.amazon.com/Yongnuo-RF-603-C1-Wireless-Transceiver/dp/B0050E7OSM/ref=pd_sim_p_7). I personally prefer using the triggers. The downside to either method is that you'll lose E-TTL capability using the flash off camera.

The answer is no. There is no provision for a remote shutter release on the GF3

Photographers can wirelessly trigger TTL flashes, retaining full TTL functions, as well as remotely control power and flash zoom settings. Shooting with off-camera TTL flash has been made incredibly easy.

Yes I was able to do this by buying a cord online with the appropriate sized ends....found one on amazon.Wired the flash out up to the camera trigger in....then every time I shot with hand held camera the remote cameras fired too.

No it is not. I replaced my A300 with the A58 and cannot use my remote shutter release or my flash. The hot shoe has changed, and Sony has gone to an electronic shutter release. I have not invested in a new shutter release. I am hoping my sister can use my items with her A330.

I haven't used it as a shutter release but will work. There's a switch on the transmitter that will switcj from flash trigger to shutter trigger.

You could use a radio wireless remote shutter release but they cost $10 or $15 more. They will also work at greater distance than the IR type which your camera isn't equipped for.

I am using inexpensive triggers from cowboy studio. The trigger should be universal to fit in this hot shoe adapter and the receiver will depend on the brand/mount of your flash.Take a look on these links:CowboyStudio NPT-04 4 Channel Wireless Trigger for External Speelights with 1 Trigger and 2 Receivers (NPT-04+extra receiver)http://www.cowboystudio.com/category_s/460.htm

Works fine with all new Canons. Doesn't support the new radio system like the 600EX-RT, but can still be used as slave IR. Will also work fine on hot shoe of any new Canon (for ETTL and/or AF assist). I've had one 580EX (I) for years, and while it doesn't support some new features, is still a good primary or secondary flash (with IR...would have to get a newer Canon flash for RT slave).

You don't need it. The range is only to about 15 feet. You need to point the remote directly at the receiver on your CANON camera (on the grip where your index finger would be if you were holding it). Turn your camera to timer mode and there is an option there for "2-second timer / remote". As long as you can follow these instructions, you can use remote. It took me a while to figure out the "2-second time / remote" options. It is really simple. Good luck!

Here's the scoop: The Canon T3 does not have a built-in RECEIVER to act upon infrared or radio transmitted signals.If you want wireless shutter release, you have to buy a system having both TRANSMITTER and RECEIVER. The RECEIVER mounts on the T3's hotshoe, connecting it to the camera's innards. I'm awaiting my system : )

I haven't tried it but yes. That is what you're supposed to be able to do with this unit. It does have 2 receivers and 1 transmitter. I've only used it as a shutter release so far and it has performed flawlessly.

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

The release should work for all Canon cameras as they have the hot shoe on the top and the plugin on the side. If anything you would just need an adapter. I've used the remote successfully on a 40D as well as Mark II and III.
