Questions & Answers

Shopper : Hi, Can i use this product with my Nikon d90 or d7000 and my flash sb-600? is compatible?LUCY M : I believe you can use this with Nikon. Remember that this combo is not TTL so everything works in manual mode only.MALDON H : Yes you CAN! Also remember if you have the D90 or the D7000 it can be used for an off camera flash. If you spend a little more and purchase the sb800 new or used from adorama you can use the sb800 as an off-the-camera flash and control the flash itself using the pop-up flash. In the menu on each camera go to your "custom settings" then look for "Bracketing/Flash" then find built in flash, then "built in flash mode". to use the pop-up flash use "commander mode" . I sugguest also that you visit the "nikon web site"and see if you could have send you the "Fast Track to Advanced wireless Lighting". You'll get a lot farther withe "SB800" than you will with the "SB600". Good shooting and I hope this helps. M.D.H Sac,Ca.DAVID V : I use mine with Nikon D300 and SB-600 flash - it works great. During periods of inactivity the flash goes into standby mode which may cause you to miss a shot. I also use this with my studio lights. Not TTL capable but a good inexpensive solution to remote flash.
Shopper : is this product compatible with sony alfa cameras?JOHN M : I am using the one I purchased at Adorama with a canon 40d camera and a 430ex flash. I am very satisfied with this product. It has brought my flash photography to another level. I’m sorry I can’t help you with Sony cameras. Good luck in your decision.MALDON H : Potentual consumer: I would sugguest that you go to the Photoflex website and find out the specifics about this unit. At the site it will list the systems that except this unit. For the most part this unit is universal, it does not have TTL function, but will fire off the flash. After each use remove the cr2 battery to ensure battery life! Hpoe this helps...... MaldonJACKY S : I dont knowNESTOR B : Yes it is. The product is a simple hotshoe trigger so it works with any camera and work very well for mine.KINTE T : If you camera has a hot shoe I assume it will work, but I am not 100% sure, I use Nikons
Jordan F : is there another shoe mount on the bottom of the reciever???LUCY M : hi Jordan Answer to your question is yes there is a mount on the bottom of receiver. I bought that unit about a month ago used it little bit with Canon 5DMII and 580. For the money it works well. Design is bit cheap and range can be reduced if there is obstacle. Of course it does not support TTL. Cheers

Good Stuff

I like to use off camera flash for a variety of subjects but until now I used an "extension cord" to fire the flash. While this works, you're obviously very limited in distance and placement of the flash unit. That handicap is why I tried the FlashFire. Going wireless opens new doors as you can place the flash unit anywhere within range of the unit. Another great feature is that you are not tied to a specific camera: it works great on both my Nikon and Canon. I wish I would have bought this sooner!

Great Product for the Price

This is a great wireless system for the price. I've never used the Pocket Wizards, so I can't compare them. It's been very reliable for me. It's solidly built, like all the Photoflex products I own. It's simple to use--attach the transmitter to your camera and the receiver to your speedlight or strobe. I have only two criticisms. First, I often forget to turn off the receiver, so the batteries sometimes die between sessions (days). Second, the transmitter does not lock onto your hotshoe, so it may slide out of contact during a session. Both easy to remedy. Far better than having to work with a cable dangling from my camera.

Wireless trigger & Receiver

This product came with very little information. Not even Battery requirements were included in package.So far with trial & Error we are working out usage. We had such High hopes that this would solve our remote flash needs...were still working on it.

reasonable bang for the money

Decent construction for the money. Works reliably for specified distance. Really handy if you don't like long cables and if you don't mind manual mode only. Hotshoe connection unreliable, transmitter slides off easily. No power switch on transmitter, when packed away trigger switch may end up pressed killing battery. When used with 580EX power switch on receiver is not accessible. Too bad unit is not designed to work as remote camera trigger.

A wireless trigger/receiver system, the FlashFire is a Photoflex solution to the problem and hassle of the tangles of wires found in many studios. Using an adjustable wireless signal that has 16 available frequencies/channels, the FlashFire has the ability to customize the signal to prevent misfires in crowded settings or areas that have conflicting frequencies and can fire from a distance of 164 feet (50 m).
