Part 1 of 2 You may be thinking, “What is this sacrilege?!” Especially if you know me well. I have a LOT of Canon speedlites. Like really A LOT. Like 11 or 12 depending on if any are in for repair. I love my speedlites. They’re my homies, my lighting in a bottle. But, you...
I have enjoyed reading Neil van Niekerk‘s previous books, and I looked forward to reading his newest release, Direction & Quality of Light, to complete the trilogy. Fully expecting it to be an extension of the prior two, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was so much more. I think Neil has created...
Michael,
Your post about the Nissin Di866 MkII and radio poppers was helpful when making my decision to switch from the multitude of 580EX II and 550EX, Today I received 3 Nissin flashes and have discovered I have a bug between the flashes and the radio poppers. I was working with Laurent from Radiopoppers and wanted to know if you have had this problem.
When using a Nissin Di866 mmii (Canon) as the master for Nissin slaves the only way the transmitter will pick up a signal is if the flash is set to a zoom of 24mm. It won’t work if zoom is set to Auto or anything greater than 24mm. I know it’s the transmitter plus because if I use the 580EX II as the master it fires the remotes every time.
Have you had any issue like this? I tried 3 different Nissins as the master and it’s the same on each. Laurent said he has not seen this issue.
Thanks, I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Jeff

Interesting bug, Jeff. I haven’t run across that, but admittedly I have always used a Canon 580EXII as my master flash. I will see if I can replicate the bug here on my end sometime over the next week.
