[QUOTE="Fortkentdad, post: 430868, member: 24285"] Wow this sounds complicated. I was hoping it was easy peasy and would give me a cheap kicker. I have two flashes already and want a cheap one to serve as a kicker or 'hair halo' flash. But I'd want one that will work in Nikons CLS (Creative Lighting System). The two flashes I have work dandy from my D610. On my D5100 I must mount one or the other of these on the camera and make it the master which works OK but then I have two not three (the third is the on camera flash on my D610). I'd be interested if it works in CLS. Rather not spend more cash on a radio system (but if I did almost certainly go for the Yongnuo ones). Optical slave is an option I suppose, if it is taking the signal from the other flashes would the timing be synced? And I guess it would also need to be in manual mode as the TTL would only be on the camera. [/QUOTE]
