Does this flash tilt, and can it be used as a slave?

I can tilt but not much good as a slave with my 7D. I'm actually selling mines to buy the flash mount that syncs up with my camera properly.

The top portion does tilt. I found that flashing the ceiling helps indoors with close ups. As far as the slave, that I do not know.

Yes, it is completely possible use as slave. My brother used this flash as slave of a Canon flash without problem. It has worked very good in different positions: 90º, 45º etc.

This does tilt and rotate. I did not use this as a slave but it said in the product literature I received that it works as slave.

Yes the flash does tilt, it also zooms and can be used of the camera via the infrared. Very nice flash especially for the price.

The top portion does tilt. I found that flashing the ceiling just above the heads helps indoors with close ups. As far as the slave thing, that I do not know. Have not used the flash in a long time. Too flimsy!

The flash unit comes with a bracket you can attach to the bottom of the camera (where you would attach a tripod) and that holds the flash unit off to one side. Remember to set the flash on 2 (i.e. skip the first camera flash) unless you are using red eye reduction - then you go higher. I have been very satisfied with this flash and would recommend it to anyone with a wimpy built in flash (like the GF3)

On the back of the speedlite there is a switch that at the bottom left of the flash that u can flick it to be in slave mode

Yes, it is probably more useful as a slave light than as a main flash. Honestly I thought it was a piece of junk and sold it to someone for 50 bucks, he was not happy with it and wanted to return it to me. It really just does not work well with the more advanced Nikons. It does not seem to react as fast as the camera.

First and foremost this is a fixed unit it can not be tilted. More importantly the ad does not make this very clear but this is NOT A FLASH. I however thought it was - it is not! So if you are looking for a flash and NOT a LIGHT unit buy something else. If you want a high intensity $15 light with a horseshoe mount for your camera buy it. I'll just take it off the camera when I want to bounce the light differently. Probably use it when the power goes out also. Hope that helps.

the slave is in the camera settings. Remote flash. Not hard to find if your camera has this option. C

I have tilt flashes, but still prefer to use the 90EX with the EOS M, because it's small size matches perfectly with the camera and I have been very pleased with the results.

Good news! Yes, you can do it. Skill calls it the manual mode. Just press the mode button 3 times until indicator LED turns red instead of green. And now you could tilt it at whichever angle desirable.

I would say yes you do, unless your flash has its own built-in threaded socket. Even if your flash has a threaded socket, the flash would then be stuck in one position, so having an adjustable mounting bracket should be more useful. I got some nice ball-and-socket brackets on-line, not at Amazon, for less than $7 each.

Yes, there is an optical slave (located on the top of unit close to the rear). This slave will fire the flash as long as it can 'see' another flash that as fired (your Master). I use it with various configurations, using a combination of electronic triggers and the built-in optical slave to fire all the entire setup.

no. However you can only tilt the camera up and down while setting it up but not remotely.

No this lighting unit does not tilt and it really is a set light not a flash. It has a rechargeable battery and you turn it on and off as you need the light

Yes. You might want to take a look and considert the new canon flash 600 that works as a master and a Radio control and can conttol al canon flashs as slaves

No, it can only be used as an "On Camera" flash, or "Off Camera" using a remote cord. It does NOT have remote "Slave" capability.

You'll have to get a flash mount for that... out of the box is not possible...

I looked up your camera. I don't think it has a hot shoe mount for an external flash. If it does (is there a "flap" that hides it?), then you can put this on it. Even if it doesn't, this flash has a slave function that lets you fire it off when you fire off your built-in flash. So you could still get really flash results just using this flash in slave mode.

Tilts but does not swivel. BTW, works well with off camera cord to develop any angle and lighting option by hand
