How To Setup Canon 430EX-III-RT For Wireless Flash

[@deepakmaharaj561]

a how-to-setup video.. would be nice if you showed then, how-to synch the trigger w the flash...

[@glendabushvolkmann6620]

perfect I figured it out in about 2 min with this video getting my flash to work off camera with my 70D. Once I figured out that the pop up flash on my camera has to be up, while in optical slave, In the 70D you have to go into the 2nd menu "Flash Control ", then go to "Built in Flash settings", then "wireless func." and chose one of the options there. ta da. so easy...

[@OrionMediaGroup]

Glad it helped!

Can you show a video of how to sync godox xpro transmitter to 430EXIII-RT as well. Thank you

[@lachlanjohnson4190]

Damn it…. Just purchased the rt flash and was never once told till after the purchase that you need an external transmitter to trigger it… Kinda disappointed in both the product and myself….

[@carriecoelho6444]

Finally a simple explanation to something that I have been seriously baffled by! Thank you!

[@oneclickbeaute9244]

I have Canon 200D II camera in which center pin of the hot shoe not available. Can 430 EXIII RT fire the studio stobe lights of 3rd party?

[@larrytam2869]

Hi May I ask how to use the light ( from the camera's built-in flash) to trigger Canon 430ex ? Thanks!

[@reysnaps6515]

I just purchased a canon 4000d, which speedlite would work with it ? What else do I need ? Transmitter ?

[@OrionMediaGroup]

The 430EX-III RT from Canon will most likely be compatible as Canon usually keep all their camera and flashes compatible. If you want to make it wireless, get the transmitter as well. Link to that is in the video description.

[@reysnaps6515]

Ryan Fowler Photography thank you sir

[@LosPastrana]

Cant get my canon 430 ex iii rt to link the Yongnuo Yn e3 rt :( both are set to the same id number, same channel and the same group, the canon 430 ex iii rt is set to wireless slave and still cant use the 430 ex iii rt as a slave, it won't link !! any ideas?

[@graciejiujitsu407]

Well done Sir, this was helpful. Thank you for posting it.

[@richarda.phillips2181]

Please could you do a video on how to set it up as a transmitter. And what flashes (Canon and 3rd party) are compatible as Radio slaves. Thanks.

[@forsterl.stewart414]

The RED lens on front is for auto focus assist beam the small black one next to that is for optical transmission.

[@angelisone]

The black panel like is IR receiver, not for transmission.

[@MenziMaduna-yh4bh]

Hi sir nice video. How did you manage to get the manual "M" option because to mine it only shows the ETTL option

[@BishoppdaDon]

Turn ur flash on a press the middle button when ettl is highlight and u can switch to manual mode

[@kekanastevey6926]

Can I also use a nissin air commander on 430exii speedlite?.

[@BabJav77]

My flash is 600EX-RT and I also have ST-E3-RT. TransmitterIn this video I found that its possible to set an ST-E3-RT Transmitter with any other flash except just 600EX-RT. Now my question is: which other Canon models are capable to set with ST-E3-RT Transmitter? Please help me to know the other settable models.

[@OrionMediaGroup]

Hey, thanks for asking the question. There are 2 models compatible with the ST-E3-RT transmitter which are the 600EX-RT and the other is the 430EX-III-RT which is the latest mid range flash from Canon. Hope that helps

[@ygrs0516]

Ryan Fowler Photography Thanks for the video. It was very helpful.

[@angelisone]

You have a few more.. 1. ATG Gold 1K Flash (transforms your Canon RT to 1,000 feet) 2. Canon 600EX II-RT 3. Canon 600EX-RT (Ryan stated) 4. Canon 430EX III (Ryan sated) ATG Gold 1K Transmitter is 1,000 feet vs Canon ST-E3-RT is 100 feet ATG Gold 1K Transmitter is fully compatible with ATG Gold 600ws TTL monolight. If you want the power. And a must when shooting wireless ETTL II HSS!

[@kipling1957]

At one point the flash went from ETTL to manual. The reason I’m watching this is to find out exactly how to do that but it wasn’t covered. My flash is stuck in ETTL and I have looked everywhere in the menus to change it. Can you please help!

[@angelisone]

Going into the camera's menu. Then set ETTL II into manual.

[@rostynventlua2525]

I’m sorry I’m new to this, do I really need the transmitter to make the Speedlite work,? Cus I thought it’s gonna work with just my camera and Speedlite

[@TechWiz1983]

Will this 430EX-III-RT work with the Canon T6S without me needing to buy additional equipment to use it with the camera? If it can work with it; will it be able to use either slave or master or just one of them? Trying to decide if I should order one-Thanks.

[@OrionMediaGroup]

I believe it will but would need to be setup to use the pop-up flash and the settings inside the menu to link them. Without the ST-E3-RT transmitter, the range will be reduced as it would be connecting via optical rather than radio transmission. Hope that helps

[@angelisone]

Yes, the 430EX III-RT becomes an expense flash because you have to set it into Wireless IR (infrared-line-of-site) while you must pop-up the T6s flash. And go into the camera's flash menu to set it to wireless. Like what Ryan Fowler Photography said, it will have limited ranges. And may not work well in bright out door.

[@1000Kazoos]

Can I use an S2-E2 transmitter with the Canon Speedlite 430EX III-RT Flashgun? I have the 430EX III-RT Flashgun but am trying to find a more affordable transmitter that’s compatible.

[@OrionMediaGroup]

Good question but I haven't used that one so could tell you I'm sorry. From a quick Google search, it seems like a much older unit and not even sure if it has radio compatibility. If you can save a little more for the ST-E3-RT, I know that's a brilliant trigger and gives you a lot of control over the flashes. Like the saying goes, buy nice or buy twice. That would be my recommendation anyway.

[@DeeDee-yp2mc]

is that the only transmitter that will work? is there a less expensive one?

[@OrionMediaGroup]

As far as I know it is, although haven't tested others.

[@angelisone]

You can get ATG/Yongnuo TTL transmitter. ATG has them in 3 models. Much better and less than Canon's.

[@engthamer]

Thank you for your video My camera is Canon 5D Mark IV, How to trigger 430EX II-RT wirelessly using Canon Speedlite 270EX II as an on camera flash?

[@OrionMediaGroup]

I have never used a 270 EX II so I can't give you any specific advice. If you want to trigger a canon flash with another flash though, try setting it to optical wireless flash mode so it goes off when it senses a bright flash light.

[@angelisone]

The 270EX is a slave only. While the 430EX III-RT has ATG dual transmitting (2.4GHz & IR TTL) You will have to place the 430 on camera, set it wireless IR Master. While the 270EX II into wireless IR Slave.

[@aslamalalo9083]

Cute and accurate

[@yonkmanb]

how to I change the channel on the transmitter

[@whitneybowman9445]

I have a 430EX and a 430EX III-RT, can I use the 430EX on my Mark IV to trigger the 430EX II-RT if it sitting across a room? I'm trying to figure it out. Thanks.

[@angelisone]

No, it can't be done. But if you buy one of ATG's say Yongnuo 600EX RT series then you have: 1. With ATG on camera, then you have wireless IR in Group A, B & C 2. With ATG on Master R(radio), then you have wireless radio with 430EX III-RT. 3. ATG/YN600EX-RT II, using Nikon camera's wireless IR ITTL with Nikon flash. The 430EX III-RT and 430EX or 430EX II DO NOT have ATG Master Radio ETTL. ATG Gold series, Canon 600EX-RT & 600EX II-RT and ATG/Yongnuo YN600EX-RT have built-in ATG hybrid circuits (wireless radio TTL and wireless IR TTL for Master and Slave). Whitney Bowman, just buy the ATG's Yongnuo 600EX-RT II, then you got choices: A. ATG wireless R ETTL II with two groups (A on camera & B with 430EX III-RT) B. ATG wireless IR ETTL II w/3 groups (A on camera, B & C with 430s in slaves) If you are still confuse or lost, contact Alzo Digital, CT. Then ask for repair, service & technical from ATG.

[@forsterl.stewart414]

Youngnuo doesn't work well when combining with Canon....buy canon always its worth the extra money.

[@ngonzale3]

Is this flash plenty powerful for most portrait sessions?

[@OrionMediaGroup]

+Nicholas Gonzalez There is a lot of power in this flash but it depends on what type of portraits you are doing. If you’re doing outdoor, I’d go with the 600EX-RT which will make it easier, although this will work but you may need a higher output which will drain your batteries faster. I use this one in the studio and it works well but prefer to use my bigger one. Hope that helps to answer your question.

[@ngonzale3]

Many thanks for your reply! It was very helpful.

[@davidjancik2589]

Does someone know if the Canon 430EXIII RT is compatible with the trigger Godox Xpro-C (for Canon) without any receiver? Thank you in advance for this information.

[@Bohemiandancer]

David Jančík hello! Did you find the answer to this question ? I'm struggling with the same equipment ! Thanks in advance !

[@angelisone]

ATG disabled on all Godox systems. It is not compatible.

[@sivakumarnagarajan3506]

nice video. Is there a third party transmitter (yongnuo?) to control 430ex-iii-rt along with third party flashes?

[@OrionMediaGroup]

Thank you. You can get third-party triggers although I don't know of any specific ones that you could look into. I know that Youngnuo have transmitters that you can link together and sit your flash on although I don't know the specific model. The best thing to do is just reasearch which triggers you can get. I think there are also ones like cactus who do triggers. Hope that helps.

[@angelisone]

The ATG Gold 1K Transmitter worked beyond 1,000 feet with ATG and Canon RT systems. Canon wireless radio system is limited to 100 feet. It would be best if you buy the ATG Gold 1K Flash. Then it can talk wireless radio ETTL II to your Canon 430EX-III-RT. You will have Group A and Group B flashes. If you of Ryan Fowler Photography want more information, please check Alzo Digital, CT. Then ask for equipment repairs & help.

[@piper081147]

I believe the YN-E3-RT does the job.

[@drdimento]

Thanks for a Great Review. Do you know if Yongnuo has a compatible unit ?

[@angelisone]

Yes. ATG/Youngnuo are better and have more power than this.

[@jakk-f7586]

any suggestion sir for canon80d im newbie in photography pls help i need flash and trigger but cant decide;(

[@Ashley-gi7um]

I have just purchased the st-e3-rt transmitter and the 430exIII-rt speedlite and i still can't get the transmitter to fire off a test flash.

[@OrionMediaGroup]

Make sure that your flash is set to radio slave and that you're on the same channel as the transmitter.

[@Ashley-gi7um]

thanks for the tip, managed to sort it out, i had the slave/master settings around the wrong way.

[@jackbriggs7658]

cheers buddy cheers

[@joanna5927]

Great video, Hi my friends, I have question, i have 2 430iiirt and i dont know how to set up one on camera as transmitter only and no to fire? Is it possible, also can I have slave on different power than master, i tried manual and when I adjisted master to low powerthe slave changed too, please help. Thanks Joanna (i am using 5d m4)

[@forsterl.stewart414]

Turn dial to the small flash emblem just below your ettl or manual mode indicator. While on flash emblem select by pressing set button then turn dial to flash emblem off...the one on the right...press set again and your 430 ex iii rt is now off.

[@lachlanharrison9335]

Is there any way the flash will go off without the camera flash?

[@OrionMediaGroup]

I don't really get the question. Do you mean will the flash go off without the trigger? If you are, then you could potentially use optical transmission but you would need a pop up flash on your camera. Otherwise, you'll have to put it on the camera.

[@lachlanharrison9335]

Ryan Fowler Photography my camera flash goes off at the same time as my external speed light when not connected to the camera, and just wanted to see if there is a way I could get the external speed light to go off without the one on my camera going off

[@OrionMediaGroup]

@@lachlanharrison9335 If you've got the RT version of the flash, then I would say get the trigger so that trigger will go on the camera and just trigger the off camera flash.

[@lachlanharrison9335]

Ryan Fowler Photography awesome answers my question thank you :)

[@OrionMediaGroup]

@@lachlanharrison9335 Glad I could help. There is a link to the trigger in the description if you want to find it quickly.

[@rupeshsawant]

I tried Slave Optical Transmission with Canon 760s (india or T6s) . But its not detecting despite Channel is set same correctly on both Camera and Speedlite. Pl advise.

[@OrionMediaGroup]

In your camera, you need to go to built in flash settings, change the mode to custom wireless and make sure you’re got the right channel on that and make sure your pop up flash is up when you take a photo. The settings on the flash need to be optical transmission optical slave, with the lightning bolt. When you take a photo, your pop up flash should fire but it only fires enough to set the flash off. Hope that helps.

[@OrionMediaGroup]

Also, make sure you’ve got it on the same channel and your settings are saying you will fire all flash, not just A, B or C.

[@farawayeast4329]

How to set it up for wireless High-speed sync?

[@scotosborne8085]

Doesn't work as an optical slave with my other flashes.

[@neilconfesor9845]

Is this compatible with yongnuo st rt 3 transmitter?

[@OrionMediaGroup]

I couldn’t tell you as I’ve not used one and don’t want to give you the wrong information. I’m sure someone has used this flash with a Yongnuo trigger and posted a review online someone you may be able to find.

[@neilconfesor9845]

Ryan Fowler Photography thank you!!

[@angelisone]

Yes. The Yongnuo YN-E3-RT is better than the overpriced Canon ST-E3-RT. Both are by ATG. But the Yongnuo has ATG AF assist beam & firmware port. Yongnuo YN-E3-RT works also ATG 1Kws/ATG Gold, 600EX-RT & 600EX II-RT

[@rupeshsawant]

My Spedlite is Canon 430 EX III RT

[@raylander6329]

How do we understand how to make them work with each other if they, conveniently, are already linked? Maybe I am losing the essence here

[@yonkmanb]

Exactly

[@sciFher]

But you never explained the pop up flash (optical Transmission) option. You say in the video that you will but never get to it.

[@angelisone]

Too bad the Canon 430EX III RT can't do ATG's Ext.A and Ext.M.

[@markphoenix7764]
