You have to buy a separate receiver ( X1R-S ).  And, unlike the built-in transceivers in the Godox speedlights, it does not do cross-brand TTL.  But from an X1T-S or Xpro-S (or Flashpoint R2 Pro II-S ...

Radio triggers are going to be the easiest way to get everything to fire in sync.  Cable a receiver to the 6.3mm sync ports on each of the strobes, and add receivers to the feet of the 550EX and ...

Bummer.  But at least you got a straight answer. Weird. Looks like the Japanese Nissin website's been down since July of last year.  The latest copy of the compatibility chart for the i40 I can ...

Silent/electronic shutter modes tend to disable the flash hotshoe on most mirrorless cameras. Have you checked that those modes are off?  Also check that the flash is seated fully forward in the ...

The Godox TT600 single-pin manual-only speedlight is listed at 66€ on the Amazon.de website. And the Xpro transmitter is listing for 67€. So, you could afford to put together a three-light strobist ...

Godox TT350-O ($85) or TT685-O ($110).  If you prefer the bigger battery pack capacity and don't mind the added expense or proprietary battery, then a V350-O ($160) or V860II-O ($180). The 350 ...

Yup. It's a great time to be a Strobist. :D  Back when Hobby started his blog in 2006, it was mostly just PC sync cables, PocketWizards, and OEM speedlights.  The tech and market has moved very ...

OTOH, the Canon RT system has no cross-brand compatibility, so if you ever decide to switch from shooting Canon to another camera system, your fancy RT gear becomes manual-only.  And neither Canon ...

Because an umbrella on a lightstand is easily knocked over by wind. :D See: https://strobist.blogspot.com/2015/04/your-basic-lighting-kit-spin-around.html as to why you might want to use an ...

This is good gear, but the only problem is that it looks like the LumoPro units cannot be updated to use the new Odin Z protocol , where Phottix is going to be supporting cross-brand TTL and TTL ...

Well, it can trigger it off-camera with Canon's smart optical system. But the 2.4 GHz radio trigger inside the TT685 is not compatible with the RT trigger inside the 430EX III-RT.

Yup. Beginning to sound like it.  Even used cross-brand, I haven't had a problem remote firing my TT350-O; and it's not designed for cross-brand TTL.

Neither the 430EX III-RT or the 470EX-AI can be used as a "smart optical" master to the 580EX as slave, but they can be used as slave, and the 580EX has master capability . So, if you get either ...

Thanks for the correction!  Yup, that was a mistake.

Godox TT685C . $110 new. eTTL-II, HSS, 2nd curtain, etc. Also does all the wireless stuff. 360º swivel, and does S1/S2 "dumb" optical slave modes, so you can fire it with the pop-up flash of your ...

If you've updated the firmware on the X1T and the TT350-O, you could also try using ID codes to see if it's a radio interference issue. Or, alternately, check that you haven't set an ID code on ...

You should be able to use optical CLS with it and your D610's pop-up flash. Put the pop-up flash in commander mode (e3->CMD). Then make sure the V860IIN is in "smart" optical slave mode. The ...

For the visually-not-verbally-inclined: Sigma 8mm f/3.5 circular fisheye on full frame: Same lens on an APS-C body: But, as I stated in my post, this doesn't actually apply in the OP's case, ...

Focal length is a physical property of any lens. It doesn't change if you change the size of the sensor behind the lens. :) But yes, a smaller sensor will yield a smaller field of view, and it's ...

Depends on what type of triggering you're talking about. The ST-E3-RT and YN-E3-RT II are for Canon's RT system and will only trigger an RT equipped flash, or a flash that has an -RT compatible ...
