[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 243845, member: 12496"] I'm not sure I understand the question. :) It has a PC sync port, so you could attach any brand of radio trigger that output to a PC sync cable. Or to the speedlight foot. It would flash when triggered. But it does not have any of that stuff built in. It does have optical slave trigger built in, which should be well sufficient in the studio. Any manual flash should do that too (all may not have PC or slave built in). Manual flash units don't care about brands. We just set them to 1/4 power and trigger them. :) The Nikon speedlights would be the same in that regard (if equipped with a PC sync port), and the Yongnuo would do anything the Nikons did (speaking of triggered manual flash). The Yongnuos (at least the 5xx series) go to 1/128 power in 1/3 stop steps. We hear people discussing buying an old Nikon SB-24 for manual flash use, but it only goes to 1/16 power in full stop steps. The Yongnuo would be much more versatile, and the YN-560II model may be as inexpensive. I just worry you may have some obscure proprietary feature in mind that I don't know about. [/QUOTE]
