Questions & Answers

CAMERON F : I have an A100 and an A65 with interfit flashes, will this work with my cameras and flashes? Do I need to buy an adapter?SHANTUL N : Sony uses a different flash mount so for the reciever, you will need to get the adapter to a standard flash shoe.DOUGLAS H : Hi Cameron The background: I'm a 35 yr pro. The disclaimer: when you write "I have an A100 and an A65 with interfit flashes", I have no idea what you're talking about - I'm not familiar with these items. However, the world of connecting flashes is very simple. Most flashes are triggered with either a hot shoe, or a pc cord. That being said, I do have one studio flash system which has RCA ports and cords, but I think the manufacturer knew it was outside the norm, so it came with a cord which adapts from RCA to pc. In summary: All I've ever seen is hot shoe, pc cord, and RCA. The product pictured here will fire hot shoe and pc cord. I hope this helps.LEE W : I used this set up on my canon 50D and my 5D MARK II with no problems at all. Hope this helpsJUDY G : I would think it should. I have used it with three different types of flashes and have had no trouble. It is a bit wobbly but other than that it does work.
Hannah P : I have a Nikon D3100. I want to be able to light my photograph with only a slave flash or two, with no flash firing ON my camera. Will this work for that??DOUGLAS H : Yes. Sorry for the late reply. I've been way too busy...RANDY J : I had a hard time getting this set-up to work and i was in a seminar being taught by a pro. he couldn't do it either. i use the on-camera flash to trigger slaves. it has no effect on the exposure. however, if you want this kind of set-up, bite the bullet and get Pocket Wizards.JOHN C : In a short answer, Yes. As with any external flash setup, you will need to set the exposure to manual. Set the shutter to 1/100 sec and the f/stop according to the distance from the subject to the main light, not the subject to camera distance. One word of caution. these are not very heavy duty structurally, so if your strobes are heavy, don;t try to support them on the receivers. Mount them as usual, then connect the cables and shoot. if you want, sticky back velcro tabs work well to attach the m to the lighrs but pick a spot that does not get hot! For short term use, just let them dangle by the synch cords. I am a professional photographer and use these units in my business and I have found them incredibly reliable. (average less than one misfire per 1000 shots) if they do misfire, it is usually the batteries, so always keep them fresh. Otherwise, have fun!MELINA R : i have a canon but i use it w my off camera flash. and also with my studio lighting very universal. love it DAVID B : Yes. You need at least one transmitter for the camera's hot shoe flash adapter and one receiver for every flash you plan to use in any single shot. If it takes two flash units to light your subject you need two receivers. Note that while interfit strobies are cheap, you get what you pay for. I now have multiple transmitters and more than enough receivers for my needs. These units are prone to unexpected failures at the worst possible moment. But compared to other makes and model prices strobies are disposable.
Shopper : REMOTELY TRIGGER THE CAMERA?MICHAEL B : This is a remote for flashes and strobes. I've used this with JTL strobes and Canon SpeedLightsJOHN C : No. This unit triggers the flash units by radio control. Transmitter goes on the cameraq and one re4ceiver goes on each strobe. When shutter releases, the strobes fire without wire synch cords. FYI I have used this system for awhile and find it very reliable. I have two transmitters and four receivers. one transmitter goes on the camera and the other is a spare. Works greatLEO M : No, its remote trigger flashDOUGLAS H : No, not that I know of. This is a simple device. As far as I can see, it's only designed to have the camera fire a remote flash. I've found it to be reliable.J. GERARDO R : The interfit camera and studio flash trigger, allows to have an of camera flash or have an on camera and of camera flashes, this devise will trigger this flashes but do not trigger the camera itself: for that you will need to have the cameras specific shutter trigger.JACK P : Remotely trigger the flash, not the camera.DAVID B : no. these only remotely trigger the flash.

I would recommend this

I bought this to use in conjunction with my Pentax K200D and Adorama budget strobe lights. It works fine. I didn't have any problems with it. I also tested it by fireing it from across the room approx. 20 to 25 feet away and it worked great.

Cheap and simple.

What do you expect for the cost. This was cheap and it has worked great. Triggers our monoflashes every time. It does however make my canon 580 eat batteries.

Great product, just cheap construction

Really reliable product although if dropped a few times can really come apart. You get what you pay for, although its a delicate piece of equipment, you really come out on top if handled correctly. bought mine 2 years ago and it has worked like a charm since. I recently bought another reciever due to the wear that I put on the other 2. I dont see the need in buying a more expensive wireless trigger if these work just as well. alot of my work have been done with them.

Interferes with Nikon D90 Image Sensor

1. Interfit's customer service is non-existent and non-responsive. It took me two days to figure out how to use the product correctly. No manual available with product or to download. 2. The trigger unit is reliable in-so-much that it trigger's a flash. However, it routinely messes with the Nikon D-90's image sensor in that when connected to the trigger unit, the image produced has a completely darkened belt across the image. It goes away when I disconnect the device and use no-flash or another triggering technique. I do not know if this is unique to the D-90 or a defective model. 3. The construction is extraordinarily weak. It can barely support my Nikon SB600 in the vertical position, let alone if it put any torque on it. Also, the battery housing is not self-contained, but immediately next to the circuitry and wiring. Also, the battery cover is flimsy and could snap off in a heartbeat. Heaven help if it were to corrode in the least. 5. Extremely dissatisfied with product.

Interfit Photographic Flash Trigger Set

I bought this as a cheap way to play with off camera flash particularly portable off camera flash as I do alot of wildlife photography. I found the unit to be a reliable way of utilising my older (achiever tz250) flash unit in a new manner. Only con is the arm of the slave unit, its a little light weight but it supports my achiever fine.

Hot shoe and Strobe Flash trigger set (4 channel)
Ideal for mounting hotshoe flashguns on to light stands. This hotshoe and strobe radio trigger set can be used for both applications and trigger most hotshoe units and all Interfit strobes.

Hotshoe flash guns can be mounted directly on to the built in hotshoe which also provides the triggering power to the flashgun, whilst studio strobes are connected via the provided P.C.Sync terminal on the side of the receiver.

With the additional use of 4 channels to choose from you can use it when other photographers are using radio transmitters but still be able to control your units independently from the other photographers.

The unit is powered by long life batteries and works on 433MHz at a distance of upto 30m (100 feet) in an open area. This product will not work with INT412 due to variances in frequencies.
