Does this trigger get power from the hot shoe or from batteries? I want to use with photix Odin that uses the hot shoe.

Batteries, its a cold shoe mount, I just let mine hang when using a trigger for strobes

Batteries, AAA if I remember correctly (I don't have it with me at the moment)

make sure the trigger is securely sitting in the hot shoe. make sure the batteries in the receivers are good. make sure you have them all on the same channel.

Good question. It does matter if grip power is on or not. It stays on. My cannon tells me when power is low. It takes a while for the batteries to empty. I think it was worth it.

I don't know anything about YONGNUO triggers, but I doubt it. Sekonic makes the PW units and the meter. They're made to work together. As far as I know, there are no widely available open source systems for meter/trigger. Anybody know different?

The shoe on the Cannon is compatible but the light isn't able to utilize a hot shoe. The light can only use batteries that are the size that came with it or an external DC power source.

Some other brand are compatible with pocket wizards triggers so it works and if your trigger is not compatible with pocket wizards it not works.

Hi. Yes I can answer: Plug the power source into an extension cord, push the black button on the green handle panel and with the button down grab the trigger like bar towards you. It should start right up. Please let me know if this helps.

Yes it will trigger the flash but no communication will be passed through the Hot shoe for TTL exposure settings. Just fire a test shot and make exposure adjustments on the fly. Isn't that what makes Digital Great? P.S. Make sure your in single shot mode unless your shooting at 1/3rd power or less the flash won't trigger for the second,3rd,4th,5th,6th,11th shot. 1-2sec or worse recycle time on that flash.

No, this is for the old iISO hot shoe, they've since switched to the new multi interface shoe. Sony sells a multi-interface adapter, it's what you need and it will keep TTL metering working. It's part number ADP-MAA.

Should work just fine. This unit is triggered by the hot shoe. It works great on my D800 and my D7000.

No Hot Shoe Needed. The black rectangle that goes in the shoe mount is the battery holder and powers the light.

Hello J Dixon. What do you mean cold shoe? This turns the Sony "multi media" connection into a hot shoe. I used this to trigger a wireless flash system for my NEX 5N and it has been perfect! Not one problem. I wish I could say that with all the cheap Chinese flashes I've gone thru. What a joke! I hope this helps? I see you're going to use it with a mic? Not sure how you probably no better than i do

Hi Joshua,The device has a hotshoe plate, however it communicates with the camera via the pin connector. I don't see why you couldn't have another trigger in the hotshoe (ie flash trigger). The only think is that the satechi trigger will be dangling from the pun connection on the side of your camera.Maybe a dual hotshoe mount could work.CheersRene

i dont about the trigger voltage on novatrons but it will fry your camera if its more then 6volts. Most old studio stobes put out alot 100-400volts. but if your using a radio slave like a pocket wizard you should be fine. also i've noticed it only wants to play nice if there's also a flash on the hot shoe. i use mine on a t1i with a on camera flash via a bracket and seems to work ok that way

E.Austin, Does your camera have a HOTSHOE to connect an extermnal flash to the camera? A hot shoes is this... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_shoe . IF you have that connector on your camera, then this Yongnuo flash will rudimentarily work (I.e. pop the flash when the shutter button is pressed).

Amm does have a point. I've used it off camera with long exposures where i wanted to illuminate something in the foreground but you do have ti trigger it by pressing the test button. I took it to a camera shop and tried other wireless triggers and none of them worked. I also called Sigma and they said if i bought some $500 triggers it should work but I tried pocket wizards an that didn't work either. There are so much more options out there for Nikon an Canon users that I'd try something else if i were you. I only bought this cause Sony has a different hotshoe mount that we're limited in our choices. Amm does have a point.

These are both a flash trigger and wireless shutter release. They work with any flash period. The only thing that makes them differ is the shutter release function....the cable wiring the trigger to camera shutter differs from camera to camera. But the flash trigger function works with any hotshoe, and those designed for Nikon & Canon all speak together. But there is no ttl-type functionality...only manual. It's just a trigger.
