Hi All,

Maybe we can have a database of master and slave configuration that we actually tested.

The objective of this thread is to build a comprehensive list of which combination works for slave and master flashes.

This will save time and money for our fellow forumers by which combination they can do with their Canon Compatible Flashes.

Thanks,
Paul

I suggest you cite the firmware version you are using on the Nissin di866 for this testing.

Enjoy! Lon
