wireless trigger

13 years 6 months ago #3233 by panda555513
To do off camera lighting, do I need a wireless trigger? I am looking to add a SB-600 or SB-700 to my setup. (I currently use a D200). I plan on shooting portraits or parties indoors and would put the flash in one spot to get off camera lighting by bouncing the flash. What is the latest on the wireless triggers doing ttl? I only saw this Pixel TR-331 as a possibility.

Ok, with the d200 and the sb600 you can fire them remote no problem. But it is based on line of sight. so if the IR sensor on the flash can't see the flashes from the pop up or flash on commander mode then it will not fire. The is a bunch of different ways to solve the problem. I think you might want to look in to "radio poppers" if you plan to do a whole bunch of ittL stuff.
