Question: Have NPT-4 & the YN560 ii.  Flash works with the cable that came with the NPT-4, but not as Wireless. Why?  Wireless is selected as Sony flash mode.
Document: Unpacked the product, hooked the transmitter up to my Konica/Minolta 7D and the receiver to my Vivitar 383 flash and...nothing. Then I tried my Minolta 2000i flash and again...nothing. After disconnecting the transmitter and receiver, I tested the 383 in wireless slave mode and the 2000i attached to an optical hot shoe, and both worked flawlessly.The transmitter light works, but the receiver light never worked. I am assuming the receiver either had a dead battery or open connection.
Earlier this year, I ordered the Cowboy Studio 4 Ch Wireless Flash trigger/receiver set to use with my Sony A65 and my Sigma EF 530 DG Super - External Flash. Before ordering I checked both the Amazon and CS sites to verify that the Wireless Flash units were compatible with my gear. Both sites confirmed that they should be.When the package arrived, it was properly marked as the compatible unit. That was where the simple description ends.
Very useful!Comes with PC sync cable and has PC out on the receiving end of the flash.Works very well on my Sony a77 (though be sure to gain up viewfinder through settings, and my Minolta 9xioperates off different signals than Canon/Nikon models, so they will be unable to trigger your unit.
After searching some more, there were a few options without adapters. The next problem is trying to figure out which remotes would work reliably, and after seaching on ebay, amazon, and a few Sony Alpha sites I came upon these. I was a little skeptical with it being so cheap but With the ~ 50 reviews averaging 4 stars I figured they were worth the $25 chance.QUALITY -After receiving them, I first paid attention to the build quality.
Recently bought and used this item for a waterfall model shoot. Off camera flash fired everytime. Most cases I was about 30 ft away with the flash hidden behind large rocks and had no signal issues. I understand all the benefits of that "top name brand" BUT, if you are a beginner or fully understand how the settings in your Sony works and just need a wireless radio setup to get the job done, this will work for you
I have to say that the NPT-04 Triggers work great and have been the only ones I have needed.There are times when the 4 only want to transmit to certain receivers but once they are matched up they work fine.
Not wanting to purchase pockwizards due to the steep price, I opted for this product instead. I'm glad I did since they work fantastic at 1/10 the price.Works with no issues on my Sony a850.I am also using this on an a55, and the camera does suffer from a "black screen" issue when any wireless trigger is mounted on the body, making it impossible to frame the subject. (Sony says this is normal and the camera was not intended for the studio setting.)
I just got the trigger and I already like it. I had small problem with syncing camera with flash because since I have 42AM flash it has to be mounted first on the camera and than on top of the receiver. After that everything works and that is one of two cons. The other one is the material used to build the triggers... but oh well for that price it deserve 4 stars.
works as advertised. Most view of the the cowboy triggers are similar to other reviewers.When you receive the trigger/receiver make sure you change the batteries to fresh ones as they really affect the distance/range of these wireless triggers.I used mine on a simple off-camera flash set up however I can see more uses from this unit in the future.
I shoot Sony cameras. I have studio monolights, and I was using a PC sync cable to fire them. But those cables tend to break, and they're really not very convenient. Then my dad gave me his old Canon 430 EX II flash. That flash obviously won't connect to my camera.
Answer: Some possible reasons; do you have the channels set to the same on both units? To test that, when the transmitter button is pushed, the red light on the receiver should blink. If they do, then the units are talking to each other. Next check to make sure the batteries are charged.Replace the batteries, both and test again. Lastly make sure the YN-560 is set to M (manual). Attach the flash to the receiver, and see if the transmitter will fire it. Both the flash and the receiver should light up (flash and red light). Lastly check to make sure the YB-560 will fire when attached to the hot shoe of the camera. If all the fails, well I have no idea.
