got myself a "new" second hand camera to replace my Cannon 400d. at 500 euro for the nx210 with a 18-50mm, 30mm lens and  50-200mm lens i thought it was a steal. but now I’m trying to use my old flash (a really old vivitar 2800) on i was using with my cannon camera to work and it does not. im using a cheap aftermarket radio transmitter to bounce the flash upwards in mu miniature home studio. but it seems  they nx210 doesn't want to work with any with it.

does any one know of a cheap radio transmitter that will work? or do i need to get also a newer flash with it?

(if not it seems that the i will just put the nx210 on the marked again and get another camera)

The first thing I would suggest is playing with the physical location of the transmitter in the hot shoe. In my case I have to move the trigger back slightly for it to make proper contact. I happen to use the Yongnuo RF-603n trigger and have no issues with them beyond having to re-position them slightly. I use the NX210 as well.
