Have NPT-4 & the YN560 ii. Flash works with the cable that came with the NPT-4, but not as Wireless. Why? Wireless is selected as Sony flash mode.

Some possible reasons; do you have the channels set to the same on both units? To test that, when the transmitter button is pushed, the red light on the receiver should blink. If they do, then the units are talking to each other. Next check to make sure the batteries are charged.Replace the batteries, both and test again. Lastly make sure the YN-560 is set to M (manual). Attach the flash to the receiver, and see if the transmitter will fire it. Both the flash and the receiver should light up (flash and red light). Lastly check to make sure the YB-560 will fire when attached to the hot shoe of the camera. If all the fails, well I have no idea.

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.

I use a D3200 and it does/did not work in TTL mode. I wrote to Vivitar and got emails of mumbo jumbo they did not understand the glitch at all!! Also a Sunpak PZ40x flash. Now the cord would work in the manual mode so the wires were OK but still does not support iTTL of Nikon.I have order a different cord elsewhere and am waiting for it arrive.

No. The speedlights you are using won't be triggered by this. You'll need the STE2 version, or change speedlights, or buy some other triggers/receivers. YN is coming out with a receiver that would work with it but either way, to use RF wireless with the speedlights you have, you'll need other and or different doodads.

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.

Canon's wireless system is very limited in use. You still need a flash on the camera to trigger the one off camera. I'd recommend you buy this flash and 3 Youngnuo wireless radio transceivers. You put on one the hot shoe and can position 2 flashes off camera. If you want to save a few buck and if no one else is taking pictures with flash near you (studio set up), then the yongnuo flashes have an optical slave you could use. You could put one transceiver on the camera, one on a single off camera flash. Then it could trigger multiple other flashes set to optical slave mode. Unless you need TTL the YN560 makes a good cheap off camera only flash. Canon's wireless system is very limited in use. You still need a flash on the camera to trigger the one off camera.

You can sync it with a cable, with a remote trigger or using the slave function meaning the yongnuo will flash if it detects another flash firing, for example your built in flash. Hope this helps

It would work, but I would stay away from the Cactus V4 as it's complete junk. It will actually only fire the flash 1 out of 10 times if you're lucky. Spend the money for a better wireless unit or do what I ended up doing for now and use a hot shoe cable.

I purchased the NPT-04 for my Cannon camera. The flashes I have (old Vivitar-Late 70's, a KMart Focal directional early 80's, and another Vivitar from the late 80's) all work with my Canon camera when I put it directly on the body. So if it works on your Canon Body, it will probably work on the NPT-04. Make sure that all the batteries are good and the switch config is the same (combo of on & off). I did find that you have to turn the NPT off make the switch changes then turn back on for the conf to take effect. But it's a rock solid device for me. I don't know or own a tt560. Hope this helps you.

It depends on what you mean by compatibility. The TTL will work when on camera. When off camera-remotely the wireless devices DO NOT send any specific data, ISO, Aperture, Shutter Speed to the wireless receivers. Once the flashes are off camera, they will still flash, but setting the flashes becomes manual. I was very surprised to read that in their manual. For this reason I came very close to sending back the whole kit. If I had to do it over I would not purchase it. Plus I have a D810. The wires connections do not even fit/connect to my camera. Their website said compatible with Nikons. It really depends on what they mean by compatible.Hope this helps! It depends on what you mean by compatibility. The TTL will work when on camera.

No. This does not appear to be a wireless flash. I use a cheap wireless add-on set with two cheap flashes similar to this one. It works pretty good. But, having the wireless built-in is definitely worth the extra cash, which is why I'm browsing for it right now.

You are going to need either a cord http://www.amazon.com/Canon-OC-E3-Camera-Shoe-Cord/dp/B000OEP3F4/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1370724162&sr=8-5&keywords=canon+external+flash+cord or a wireless solution. Something like this http://www.amazon.com/YONGNUO-RF-602-2-4GHz-Wireless-Trigger/dp/B003ARRAA8/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1370724230&sr=1-4&keywords=yongnuo+canon+trigger I got both. Both do the job. Cord is a bit more reliable because wireless might get interference once in a while.

mine didn't work with the flash I purchased. the flash is fine but they simply won't work together.

I'm not familiar with your camera but the NPT-04 trigger should work on any Hot Shoe equipped camera. My NPT-04 worked indoors fairly well but it's performance outdoors was not reliable. I finally broke down and bought Pocket Wizard triggers. They work every time, everywhere.

If you want to use the YN568ex as a master flash it won't work as it works only as a slave flash I would suggest getting the YN568ex II same model but updated and can be used as master flash to set off other flashes.
