To use as a shutter release on a D700 do I have to connect cable to one transceiver which is on hot shoe and then I can trip shutter with the other transceiver?

Hi Irish, Let me break into the options you have. 1. If you do not use the cable then the transceiver needs to be in the hot shoe so it can trigger all the others. 2. Connecting the cable you can use any other transceiver to trigger your camera and all the other transceivers you have. There are 3 "versions" for the Nikon. N1, N2, N3. The only difference is the cable to the camera. So when you have the right cable for your camera and you need more transceiver then just go for the best price. I got 7 of them so having a friend drop by. Then all he needs to do I put one in the hot shoe and we share the light. Or if connect the cable we can do the exact same picture but just from another angle. Yeah, I'm having fun with them. I found this on Youtube showing how it works http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrGeQhTEN5A

yes, I believe you hook the tranceiver on the hot shoe to the camera's remote and use the other as a remote to trip the shutter

Yes, however, the transceiver connected to the camera doesn't necessarily need to be fixed to the hot shoe. It can just be connected via the cable and be allowed to dangle. Up to you.

I have a D7000. I have not used as a shutter release, only to fire off camera flash

You need the pc sync cable and connect the transceiver with the pc sync to the camera body

Both work as receiver and transmitter. Put one on your hotshoe and connect it with the supplied cord to the cable release port on the camera. Fire the camera with the other unit. There is a long range on these units. Different cameras use different cables. Make sure you order the correct one. My D800 used the N1 and my D610 users tyne N3. Look closely at the description to order the correct one.

Hello, not sure what are you trying to do, but here is what i use them for. I use them with Canon. I put the transmitter on the hot shoe of the camera with the selector on FLASH. The receiver on a flash unit and set the selector on FLASH. Assuming they are in the same channel, when you take a shot in your camera the flash unit will trigger. I haven't use it as a shutter release but i assume you have to connect a cable from the transmitter to the camera and then simply press the button on the transmitter and it should take the shot.

The receiver does not need to be mounted on the camera's hotshoe to function. The product is shipped with an extension cord that connects the receiver to the camera (on the Nikon it plugs into the remote shutter release port on the side of the camera). I simply let the receiver hang down, or if I'm using a tripod I sometimes use a small velcro strap to secure the receiver to a leg fo the tripod. I use this corded connection quite often when I am shooting bounce flash with a SB-900 mounted on the hotshoe and it works great.

I have the Nikon D700 and this worked fine. It plugs into the 10-pin connector on the camera, same as a cable release.

In the front of the camera there is a cap that is closed, open it and insert the transmitter/receiver you know the one with the antenna on it. I have the D700 and it works great. Good luck

Absolutely not. It doesn't use the hot shoe to communicate to the camera, it uses a proprietary connector below the hot shoe, you can see it in the photo. Because of the geometry of this additional connection, you cannot physically slide it onto a anything other than the cameras it is designed for, and if you could, it still wouldn't flash.

I use Nikon but when I attach a flash to my hot shoe, I plug the transmitter into my Nikon flash via the pc synch cord. When I click, my on camera flash flashes and it activates the transmitter to set off any studio flashes that I have connected. All in synch with my shutter. I don't have a way to plug a receiver into my Nikon flash to be activated by a transmitter attached to my hot shoe.

I do not have a D800, but there is a YouTube video showing the unit controlling both the camera as a remote and simultaneously triggering a studio strobe. In that case the unit on the camer hit shoe has to be hardwied to the camera body. If you are not triggering an off camera flash using a third unit, then the unit on the camera hotshot works as a receiver to fire the camera using the other unit in your hand.

There's no shoes involved. Is there such a thing. Anyhow the triggers (transmitter) is not attached to the reciever. Therefore U are able to move your camera around. If u have continuous lightings , U don't need a trigger unless u want more lighting. I hope this is what u are asking.

Hi I used YN622 whit a nikon d7000 on my camera and a sb900 on The transmiter, and off camera a YN 622 receiver whit a sb 800 all flashes Working in TTL mode, this transmiter is like a dedicated cord, is a wireles cord, by the way don't work Good, make a failed to my camera, and some times over exposed some shoots

you need two controllers and they both have to be yn622n's. Essentially with the yn622 it's just like having the flash attached to the camera. The transceiver and receiver must be set to the ittl mode for them to communicate, but it does matter what model camera you have for it to work.

There is no direct connection to you camera..... It's used as a "slave" Just plug it in to electrical power and any flash will set it off..... ie a studio light or your on camera flash.Keep in mind if you have what is called TTL flash or "through the lens" this light will mess up the flash exposure.Depending on your expertise in photography.... for now, don't worry about the TTL stuff.... just plug it in and fire a flash and see how nice it works.....I'll answer any follow-up questions if needed

I have the D7000 as well so you should be fine. The receiver will connect to the GPS port on the left side of the camera body and does not have to be mounted to the flash hot shoe to work. I also like the fact that it comes with a wire for direct connection (not wireless) when wireless is not needed.

I have used this MANY times on my D700 WITHOUT any issues. Follow the instructions though - can't recall what they are off the top of my head, but I think it is something like the camera needs to be OFF when you plug in the adapter. If you try to put it on when the camera is on, it won't recognize the new hardware. GREAT remote for a GREAT price! Highly recommend!

I cannot answer that question directly since I have a Nikon D800E, but you can use a independent hot shoe to connect via a cable. Or you can trigger the flash wirelessly via those components. The corded hot shoe would be the reasonable cost effective option, but wireless triggering other products would be more appropriate.
