When using a hotshoe flash you can't use this. When you let the plug in dangle the remote won't work. Any suggestions?

What kind of camera and flash are you using ? Most flashes and cameras you can run wireless or an a cable to it. . you can also get a L bracket to hold camera and flash thus allowing the Hotshoe free to use with remote

I have not tried it with a flash yet but I will and post my findings for you. However it doesn't make sense as the remote only uses the hot shoe for holding it. It had is own power source do possibly blocking the signal the way it is dangling.. possibly Velcro from the side of the unit to the side of flash.. As I did I will give it a try with flash and let you know the outcome. Give me a couple days..

I haven't had that issue. You can adjust the flash mode and that should solve the issue.

I'm having the same problem. Do you know if you unplugged the unit while it was on? This happened with mine, and it is the only thing I can think of that happened to it. It still doesn't answer the question of whether replacing the remote will help, unfortunately.

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

I wish I could your question due to I use a canon camera with a canon flash. The answer to your question lies on whether the flash works on the camera hotshoe. If it does, then I do not see why the cord should not work.

We had the same problem. Our remote was junk and fell apart. Tview wanted $90 to replace the remote. I haven't been able to get a universal remote to work with it either.

If your flash operates using a hot-shoe connection,it should work.The flash needs to be set on manual.

I have tried several other remotes but have returned them, this unit is a high quality piece of equipment. I'm not sure what you want to know but the remote operates an external flash and camera at the same time if you want to operate the camera remote and a remote flash at the same time you will need a receiving unit of each remote flash you want to use Hope this helps and your girlfriend enjoys it merry Christmas

If you havan't already done so, try swapping the two 622c units you have. Perhaps the one you are using for flash works better with the camera? It should work but as MW said, the unit could be defective.

This flash can be fired in slave mode via pop-up or other flash, yes. The flash doesn't use IR and is fully manual, no TTL supported. There is a trigger available for the units that mounts into your hotshoe and fires remotely via radio frequency. The transmitter also allows you to remotely adjust the flash output power from 1/128 to 1/1 in 1/3 stop increments.

I am using inexpensive triggers from cowboy studio. The trigger should be universal to fit in this hot shoe adapter and the receiver will depend on the brand/mount of your flash.Take a look on these links:CowboyStudio NPT-04 4 Channel Wireless Trigger for External Speelights with 1 Trigger and 2 Receivers (NPT-04+extra receiver)http://www.cowboystudio.com/category_s/460.htm

Can you provide more details? What is your camera? Did you try mounting a flash directly or wireless trigger?

I agree with Gordon Johnson. Probably you don't have the flash set to ttl. It won't work otherwise.

There are two ways: use the flash on your camera as the trigger or by using one of the included wireless remote trigger. The trigger attahces to the shoe horn on the camera. The nice piece, the triggers for the flashes are external, so if you have a set you can just plug in using the mini headphone type plug. The set has adapter for other sizes like 1/4" plug, etc.

You would need the hot shoe adapter to plug the cord into it.....Just so you know I bought 3 of these units last year and the plastic base broke in the same spot on all 3 units..it would be a good flash if not for this issue. I now buy the Metz flash

Check the contact points on the hot shoe and on the bottom of the flash......make sure that there are at least 5 contact points. Also check to be sure that what ever flash you buy is compatible with your camera....

I just bought the same thing and am having the same problem. The only way I can get control (and only briefly) is to unplug the transformer and plug it back in. I even changed the battery in the remote.
