I have recently bought Pixel King set for my 1000D & 430EX ii flash. Issue i am facing is that after i attach everything in position i am able to use camera menus and ETTL just fine but as i slightly touch my flash to change direction ETTL and camera menus stop working, Flash does fire but no ETTL information is passed back to camera and everything is blown. If i reattach the flash on the receiver it starts working again but cannot touch even slightly as it will again stop. Camera Priority mode i use is manual and evaluative metering and haven't tried Av or Tv.

Any help or ideas..

Make sure your firmware is up to date by checking the pixel king website. If that doesn't work, contact the vendor as it might be defective.
