Thanks Phil, just need to find some willing models now !!

yayyyyy we have the lights working. There was a minor error in the manual. It said press the down button where in fact it's the up button. Feeling relieved and very thankful for all the input from those that responded. Thank you very much, hopefully we won't have other issues. The equipment...

Thanks Phil - really appreciate your help. I'll chat with Garry tomorrow, it may be the commander unit is faulty as its all functioning until it sits in the shoe.

Thanks phil, there is only one central point on the commander so sounds like a paperclip test wouldn't work. Garry yes, it was set up according to instructions, I'll try cal you tomorrow, thanks.

With my last comment I'm sure you're opening up the possibility of worst tester again :facepalm:

I don't understand what you mean by firing it with a paperclip Rhona

Thanks for responses and brian good to hear from a d3100 user. Thanks again Phil, you're working hard for us!!! Ade yes the external flash works on the cameras Just tried the commander on a canon and that didn't Fire the studio set either. So that's 3 cameras d3100 d3200 and a canon. Do...

So how do the other units work? Does the camera just recognise the unit? Or are there specific settings .

Thanks all, this commander unit only has one central pin and if we were to put it on the wrong way (which we can't) we wouldn't be able to see through the viewfinder. The unit is the size of a deck of playing cards and the unit protrudes out the front of the camera, it attaches horizontally not...

just an addit. When trying to take a picture on manual setting and with the commander unit in place, if the internal flash is on ... The camera's flash tries to pop up but cannot due to the commander unit getting in the way If the flash is turned off then no flashes happen and the picture is...

Thanks for your responses, Not sure I'm being completely clear. The commander unit fires the lights perfectly, so it all works to the point of attaching the commander unit to the camera, the camera then just does not recognise there is something attached. I suppose the real Question is can this...

Thanks for your replies. I'm never too clear with correct terminology. The studio set works well with the slave sensor which is triggered by the built in flash. The problem arises when the commander unit (remote control for the studio set) is placed in the flash shoe its not sending that "fire...

Hi mike Thanks The problem is more that we are trying to disable the internal flash so that the commander unit takes over and triggers the studio lighting. The commander unit sits on the camera As an external flash would and communicates with the lighting but not with the camera. Garry is...

Please help. I bought Lencarta Ultra Pro 2x 300 soft box and umbrella after advice. just been on the phone to Gary as we seem to be having a problem getting both a Nikon D3100 and D3200 to recognise the commander unit for this. Gary was unsure how to rectify the problem and suggested we posted...

Thank you all. I'm going with lencarta and will takes Gary's advice about which model. Thanks for your time.
