    Hi all, I know this can be done with Nikon but I'm a canon user. I have a 430EX & a 270EX trying and failing to slave the two. Only one has the Slave switch (430) I thought it could be done? Yes No?
    Know how?
    Thanks in advance

    i dont think they will work by themselves

    but if you get some of the ebay trigger things for like 40 euro you will be able to trigger both of them

    The 430EX cannot work as a Master in a Master\Slave setup. You would need a 580EX or an ST-E2 transmitter. Both very expensive. As Steve said, the Ebay triggers are probably the cheapest way to get into an off camera multi flash setup.

    Thanks, someone I know had one and I just wanted to see if they would work together. Never knew that a trigger on ebay was priced that way Steve, always thought they would all be big bucks! Thanks for that!
