Title: What flash triggers work with the Sony A7/A7s/A7r?
Post by: Sareesh Sudhakaran on July 09, 2014, 02:58:11 am

I need to trigger speedlights, manual only (no ETTL), preferably via radio and not IR or cable. Any suggestions? Do Yongnuo triggers work?

anything that works off central contact shall work for as long as there is a contact between that on camera and pin on trigger

PS: as for Yongnuo, RF603MKII is the one to get = http://flashhavoc.com/yongnuo-rf-603-ii-released/

I have a question: Do I have to modify the transmitter as shown in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOxVuBdccAo ?

I've found a Yongnuo adapter, maybe this one: YN-H3 (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1938470648/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=1938470648&linkCode=as2&tag=sareesh-20&linkId=36BLEHV5T2HRT664)?
