My camera is Canon 60 D which does not have PC output, can I still use this unit? how does the camera communicate with the transmitter to trigger?

The trigger sits on the hotshoe which acts as the interface. As you press the shutter release a signal is sent through the hotshoe to the trigger which transmits a signal to the receiver(s) to fire your flash. I have a T3i - same camera as the 60D.

The transmitter goes onto your camera and the receivers on your flashes. You do not need a PC port. I use them on my 6d which does not have one as well.

It also works from the hot shoe which will trigger the units. It doesn't do TTL like more costly unit does. They do make ones that do TTL. These you need to set the flash power at each remote flash. They work just fine if you can set the flash at different powers. I'm shooting animals at night and they work find for me because I need as much light as I can get for a big area. For studio work I'd get ones that do TTL and send the signal back to the sender and camera. They are cheap enough to have hanging around for special shots. I got two sets so I can control four flash units with one sender.

Set everything up (flash connected to NPT-04 receiver, everything turned on), and then hit the test button that's on top of the transmitter. Does the flash fire? If it does, then the transmitter is talking to the receiver, and the receiver is talking to the flash. So the problem is the camera isn't talking to the transmitter. You didn't say what camera you're using. On my Sony cameras, "wireless" is for using the pop-up flash to control and fire other flashes. You can do wireless TTL, and use the pop-up flash to be the "commander". That's what "wireless" flash mode is. Obviously that's not what you're doing. So change it to rear or fill flash mode, and see if that works.

Good morning, Sorry it took so long to respond; I have been on vacation. I hope that your problem was resolved. I tried my unit for the first time yesterday; and the main problem that I had was making sure to push down the button down on the transmitter and hold it there for several seconds in order for it to operate. Also where to place the receiver on the camera hot shoe in order to receive the single; had the receiver facing backwards so that it would operate. Als make sure the batteries are in correctly. Bottom line, you get what you pay for. Good luck and have a great week. Jeff

Should just be able to throw the camera in manual or ap or sp and take a shot. The camera trigger should be in tx and the flash in rx. That's what works for me but then again I do not have your camera.

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.

Remember to set the drive on the camera to remote. I have a Canon 60d and I have to set the drive to either 2 or 10 second self timer/remote. Also, make sure you're pointing the remote towards the sensor on the front of the camera, it won't work from behind. Lastly, only the top two buttons work on my Canon. Good luck!

It needs to be connected to a computer via USB 2.0 and it also requires 110V AC power. I don't understand your application, but I guess you could stash this with a PC of some type in a remote location together, but the PC and the Camera require power. If the PC was connected to a Wi-Fi or other wireless network, I guess you could use it as "wireless" camera. Not sure this is what you have in mind.

Optical triggers are nothing but trouble and PC cables fall out of your camera. get yourself some radio triggers. You can get a basic 16 channel xmitter and 3 or 4 receivers.

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.

Hi H,Canon only make the model 600EX RT with a built-in 2.4 GHz radio trigger system. The 430EX model is not and therefore can only be triggered from 600EX RT via optical mode.

it doesn't have a connection for a backup camera, all it has is an a/v aux input but it is located on the front face (the aux labeled plug on the bottom right). There is no trigger wire or anything like that. there is no a/v input in the rear either so you can't hardwire a camera there (i wanted to do that but no luck). Check my review for more info, i suggest looking for another unit.

Can't answer it, but you can go to their website and send their tech support an email and they are pretty responsive. I use Blue Iris software with the camera and it captures the scene when the camera is triggered.

Your transmitter has a button on the top that is used to turn the camera on and off just pressing it starts teh video as long as the camera is hooked up correct. I use a Mobius camera on mine to shoot HD Video http://amzn.to/1mtshXz check it out amazing quality at a great price.

1) Just as NikonBrad suggests, try it in manual mode. 2) Can you take the same shot, in auto, with the regular body trigger? If so, the unit isn't sending the signal to record.

Im sorry I have a 60d but I beleive the functionality is the same. The cable works fine I have 2 pocket wizard 2 and a flex 5 I use on of the pw2 to remote trigger the other with the cable to auto focus and shot it also helps when test the flash and syncing

I have a 60D and it works for the most part. While attached, the camera works regardless if this is turned on or not. If you turn it on it makes some features of the camera inoperable. You can not always view the photos on your LED screen while this is turned on. Otherwise works fine

HI John,Answer: I use it with my Canon D60 and it works wonderfully! BUT ..it eats the batteries! When not in use it still consumes battery power. Be forewarned, install a new battery and in just 3 days.....it's dead!The trick to this delima is to either remove the battery when not in use or place a small piece of paper between the battery + terminal and the contact (with a small tab that sticks out). When needed, simply pull the paper tab and you can use the Wireless Shutter release. Not a technically advanced system...but I spent more on batteries in the beginning than I did for the Wireless Shutter Release. HI John,Answer: I use it with my Canon D60 and it works wonderfully!
