I want to use this flash as a slave; am I correct in understanding that it has a built-in slave that will be triggered by any other flash?

Yes. It will trigger as a slave from a single flash at the camera or from the second flash at the camera if the camera is using red-eye reduction flashes. It is triggered, AFAIK, from light from the subject, so any flash will trigger it.

Incorrect. You must have a radio transmitter trigger on your camera, either built in to your master flash or a transmitter mounted on the camera's hotshoe.

I have three of these babies. One always goes on my camera hot shoe with cable attached so I can use another as a remote trigger. The third is attached to my flash. In this scenario both the remote trigger and the one on the hot shoe would be set to RX/TX and the one on the flash is set to RX. If I use two of them to trigger two flashes, both are set at RX (receive only) and the triggering one is on the hot shoe and set to transmit (RX/TX).It took me a little while to figure it out, but they work pretty good.

YONGNUO YN560 IV YN-560IV Wireless Flash Speedlite Master + Slave Flash + Built-in Trigger System for Canon Nikon Pentax Olympus Fujifilm Panasonic Digital Cameras I used this one as a flash driven slave. Half the price and accepts external battery packs!

I am not sure what you mean by "slave cell". But, if you are asking if it will work as an optically triggered wireless TTL slave flash that works with the built in Nikon AWL commander mode, then, yes. It also will support Canon's wireless TTL but I have not been able to test that yet since I have not been around anyone with a camera that could trigger it in Canon mode.

Yes. Each connected flash behaves as if directly on the hot shoe. I have used four flashes concurrently this way and results are perfect. Ittl ore fires all of them and behaves as if a more powerful flash were used. I am a Nikon user.

I have used this flash also with a D90, D300, and D7100 as master in addition to an SB900.One thing to note is that TTL via wireless CLS only works when the 560EX is in set to A-1. I banged my head for a while with it set to B until I had a vague recollection of reading somewhere that only A-1 worked. When I switched it over, all was good. Any other group/channel combo seems to work with it set to manual on the master side (which is how we normally use it).

check out the manual, its doing both (charging flash and writing cached buffer on the memory), meaning i may well need an external (ohh gooding!!!! more stuff for my camera) so for such a case, what external flash unit would you recommend, cause i've been looking at the at different ones, and the one that fits my needs the best according to what i've seen is the 430EX II by canon, what your insight is it to much to little?

I would use any small flash and het a slave unit that attaches to the hotshoe end of the flash. Basically sensing the TX1's flash, it fires the other flash as a slave.

This flash work in master mode?, or only in slave mode? i have a nikon d3200. In the future i like work with 2 flashes master and slave maybe. thanks

If flashes and strobes are set to "slave" you need only one transmtter and receiver for one flash/ strobe to fire off the others. If you want to group you need more fir each grouped unit.

I have the 568 but use it only as an off camera flash, not remotely, or controlled remotely. I am sorry but I do know anything about their remote control system. If you go to their website, you will find a PDF on this flash. Their manuals are not very good, but it might help. Where are you located. My e-mail is cthahn@tampabay.rr.com if you want any more infomation.

These come with a hot shoe trigger, so yes, you can slave the units to a hot shoe flash. The flash trigger is also still active though.

Hi, JohnGood morning, thanks for your message, this model flash can NOT be triggered by Nikon on board flash, thanks. Any other questions, please feel free to let me know. thanks.RegardsAnn

Yes you can use more than one flash per unit. But you must get a special Y-sync cable so it connects to two flashes at once. Easily done with that cable.

Thanks NutMac. I just got the Canon XSi so I'm guessing that would control this flash (being very new itself). The one thing I didn't consider before was that the price of this new 430EX II will be at list price for a while, making it a lot more expensive that the current model! That will put it out of my price range, so I guess I'm sticking with the older technology for now! Thanks again,Stew

Set the flash on slave mode... On the 580ex II hold zoom then turn the dial to slave on the set...

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?
