430EZ as a slave flash ??

devilnev · 5 Apr 2011

I have a 430EZ ,want i want to know is ...is it possible with using some attacment to use it as a slave flash ..Hopefully there may be somthing out there that i could use ...in a ideal world having it wireless would be great...
i also have 530EX and am looking at trying use both wireless if it is possible
Any suggestions on ways to utilise the 430EZ would be appreciated as at the moment it is just sitting there doing nothing and it seems such a waste .

They both have variable manual power, so you'll be fine. Hook them both up with a Yongnuo RF-602 trigger from Amazon - £50 for a set with two receivers.

i did not mention i have a canon 7D now with those triggers is it possible to have the camera set them off as it had wireless built in ,that way would only need one reciever in a set up as the Ex can be configured as a slave without need to have a wireless shoe ..hope that makes sense to you

Yes it makes sense, but no.

The radio trigger needs to go in the hot shoe, so you can't use the pop-up to master. There is a workaround out of the PC socket but it's a right mishmash and why would you want to do that when an extra receiver is only £20?
