Just picked this up. My first flash. Explaining the system to my wife for when she needs to use it. Got to ETTL and she stopped me– "ET phone home??" she said. I love that girl.
Thanks for the video. really liked it :) I have a T3 but I can't trigger this flash wirelessly. Should I buy a wireless flash trigger? Would it work??
Hi, Im not entirely clear but does the flash have a wireless receiver built into it? Does this mean that if i have a canon 600d (t3i) i can use the flash wirelessly from the camera without buying any extra stuff?
Hello, I am new to flash photography, and I am planning to buy this flash, but I am worried that the wireless firring won't work with my 60D, am I wrong? I have read some descriptions and they said, that if I'll want to shoot of the camera, I will have to use some wire, but I see that you don't have any other equipment mounted... Sorry If my comment is stupid, but I would really appreciate some help. Thank you for your video and answer.
@Jimmyczech1 The 60D has wireless flash like the 7D BUT it does not have the same multi group option. It will work fine with one flash or even one group of flashes.
is this the kind of flash that skateboard and snowboard photographers use ? where they take the shot but the flash is on a different angle , like coming from the side.
Thanks for this video. In it you mention that there's a way to get the on camera flash to fire before the shutter opens and have the 430 off of the camera firing during the time the shutter is open. i'm looking through my manual and trying some searches and i can't seem to come up with how to do that. Do you mind sharing?
Hey. I have a question.. if I wanted to record a video with my DSLR and its dark outside, does this flash allow me to like put on a videolight so i can shoot my video..if that makes any sense.. (sorry im a beginner)
@PrettyTattiiex3 No, it does not. It does have a "modeling" option. You can use it to create cool video. The flash would flash on and off VERY fast but would use a lot of battery power. Hope that helps.
@PrettyTattiiex3 if your looking for a good video light check on amazon and search for sima ultra bright video light, its like 30$ plus shipping but they're definitely good for video light
I'm a beginner so if u please would tell me, can I use this flash in very high shutter speeds like 1/6000 ??!! my camera one wouldn't allow me to use it beyond 1/250 shutter !!!
so If I'd buy this one would it allow me to do that ??!!
@euyoooo 1/250 is called the "Sync speed" There are ways (like high speed sync) on this flash but I don't know if that's what you need or not. If will let you use higher shutter speeds.
I mean in some situations in bright sun light I want to fire the flash to the subject and my shutter speed would be 1/4000-1/8000 (I use a prime lens)
the camera wouldn't let me use the flash in shutter speeds beyond 1/250 !!!
that's my problem !!!! so I was wondering if this flash would allow u to do that ??!!
@euyoooo It will allow you to go over 1/250 with high speed sync but you really need another kind or another solution if you need flash at those speeds.
@euyoooo The shutter is made of two curtains, one opens, and the other closes. The second curtain actually starts to close before the one opens all the way, so if you were to shoot with flash faster than 1/250th, the flash wouldn't be able to keep up. This results in a dark band on one side of the picture where the second curtain had already started to close before the flash fired.
@tiger2leong yeah I know, but this High speed sync is allowing the flash to burst many times in the duration of these small shutter speeds !! thus u would have even flash on ur picture
2) The range of the 430 EX II is a function of both the reception gain and directionality of the Speedlite, as well as the transmission power and directionality of the 7D's wireless flash capability. I haven't used anything like a PocketWizard, but looking at them, it seems their antennas are omnidirectional and provide more gain, which is why they are preferable. At any rate, different cameras' wireless sync will perform differently with the 430 EX II.
I am deciding between the 430ex II and the 580ex II. Have you ever ran into a problem where you wished you had more power like u would with the 580 ex II? How is it when using a diffuser? Great video!!!
@JayDoc895 This 430 has always had enough power for me. It does depend on what and where you shoot most. If you plan to use a flash outdoors then the 580 might be better. Inside the 430 has always got enough power. Good luck to you.
I was wondering if you know whether or not if it works with the t2i/550D? I'm looking for a off camera flash that will work with the 550d/t2i? Let me know, if you wouldn't mind, or anyone else that knows. Thanks.
@mdrproductionz You will just need a cheap flash trigger with the T2i. That camera does not have the same capabilities as the 7D or 60D. It's a great flash though. Just get a trigger like the one I have a video about.
This flash has one disadvantage - the buttons. They are really hard to control with simple touch, you need to push it hard so a finger can get into the button hole. Maybe the reach is longer, but you just must have a dark area to lit the flash.
pardon my ignorance.. what if someone has another 7d, and tries to sync and annoy with your speedlite? i mean a stranger just near you.. will it mess up??
@althegreat17 There are several different channels in the settings of the camera. If you found yourself in that situation you would simply change channels. Good question.
Hi! I have a canon 5d mark ii, but I cannot find any videos how to set my 430ex II wireless, can anyone help me by commenting to this post please? What do I need to get the speedlite wireless?
@IAmTheFilmFanatic It has a test button and also a "modeling" mode where it flashes very fast again and again so you can see where the shadows will fall.
Do you keep your batteries in your flash? I've been reading a lot of stuff about corroding and batteries leaking etc. And I just bought the 580ex II so id rather not be up shit creek 600 bucks from something as simple as removing the batteries lol
@Tech582 About 270 USD and Sync time depends on the body. I don't know what the "flash duration" is. Normally the sync time on most bodies is 1/200 or 1/250 sec. Hope that helps.
@tenggilingbocor "modeling flash" I think is what you'tr talking about. It flashes on and off many times per second so you can see where the shadows will be.
@nate42nd i dont want that..i know about that..it flash many times in a sec..but i want it torch like a torchlight..say about 10 sec continuously in one fire..you know torchlight right? torchlight doesnt fire many times..it fire once and stay until you off the light..
@ROLLABOLLA No, not without a Cactus trigger (or similar). I have a video on that. They are about 50 USD. The camera itself will not trigger it off camera.
thank you so much for this informative video! I just bought one, didn't have the time to try it out, but I read in the manual that it will need the 580 to make the flash goes off as slave... Thanks a bunch for the video again !!!!!
@missterry2009 No, but you can make it so the exposure only gathers light from the 430, The on camera flash is what triggers the 430. You can get some wireless radio triggers. I have a video on that too.
@needlessdestruction No, it cannot. The 7D and 60D are the only 2 I know that can do that. Check out the video on Cactus wireless trigger. If you have the money.....get a set of pocket wizard triggers. They are about 10X as much money.
hello, i am a guy from mexico city , sorry for me english it's not very good,i buy a flash canon 430 ex ii but i can't using like a slave.. i have a canon rebel t1 its new.. my question its, how can put a flash like a slave and shot from mi canon rebel t1 ?i dont have a transmition and eher a other flash.. only have a flash 430 and the camara . thanks for you help .
@santo210884 You cannot use the 430EX II as a slave with Canon cameras before the 7D. The 7D was the first camera to come out with that. You will need to have an extra slave for it.
@enwordsand The 580 is a better unit. It canalso act as a master. The 430 cannot. If you have a 7d you don't need to worry about that. The 580 has more features but the 430 is a great choice for the price. That's why I got one. I looked at the 580 and could have had one. I think I will get another 430, All the best.
@The12ay Yes it would. You could get that transmitter or an "ebay" one for a lot less that is radio controlled. I think the Canon one is infrared controlled which you have to be in the line of sight. With a wireless one you can set the flash around a corner or whatever BUT most cheap ones take odd batteries. Good luck.
I have owned the 430ex II and used it with my Canon Xti. I just recently bought a Canon 7d and now I can shoot wirelessly! I love it and the Canon 7d.
Thanks for posting this video. I have the Canon 7D and just purchased the 430EXii and was wondering how to set it up. Now I have to get some radio triggers due to your experiment.
@novazee With the Xsi you would need a flash trigger. You can find them on Ebay or Amazon for 30 bucks. Good luck, off camera flash opens up a new world of photography.
@nevergive7 Yea, it's a good flash. I would highly recommend it. It IS nice to ahve the built in trigger. You can get the "radio popper" "pocket wizard" or e-bay triggers. There are a lot of options out there with triggering. All the best man!
i Just followed your instructions but on the 60D and it works awesome

@The12ay Yes it would. You could get that transmitter or an "ebay" one for a lot less that is radio controlled. I think the Canon one is infrared controlled which you have to be in the line of sight. With a wireless one you can set the flash around a corner or whatever BUT most cheap ones take odd batteries. Good luck.

does it work with the 5D??? or just the 60 and the 7???

@remixology69 The 5D has no flash built in so it cannot trigger it, it would need a trigger of some kind.

I have owned the 430ex II and used it with my Canon Xti. I just recently bought a Canon 7d and now I can shoot wirelessly! I love it and the Canon 7d.

Thanks for posting this video. I have the Canon 7D and just purchased the 430EXii and was wondering how to set it up. Now I have to get some radio triggers due to your experiment.

@n2ndcc Good to hear. All the best to you.

I wanted to get an off camera flash, would 430EX II work on my Canon Xsi just like your 7d? or will I need some other equipment to trigger the flash?
Thank you so much for sharing very informative and helpful videos.

@novazee With the Xsi you would need a flash trigger. You can find them on Ebay or Amazon for 30 bucks. Good luck, off camera flash opens up a new world of photography.

@nevergive7 Yea, it's a good flash. I would highly recommend it. It IS nice to ahve the built in trigger. You can get the "radio popper" "pocket wizard" or e-bay triggers. There are a lot of options out there with triggering. All the best man!
