I am new to off camera flash, so I want to learn how to do. I have a Cheetah Light 360 and Wireless Transmitter and 430III-RT. What do I need or do I need a transmitter to trigger that 430 as the slave?

Both made by Godox in China. Edit---there are units on Amazon that are the same. Regards, 110yd Would these work with canon and cheetah CowboyStudio NPT-04 4 Channel Wireless Trigger for External Speelights with 1 Trigger and 2 Receivers (NPT-04+extra receiver) Nicole

The radios for the Godox/Cheetahstand/Flashpoint are not the same as the CowboyStudio radio. My suggestion is to stick with the radio in your Cheetah Light 360, and NOT mix things up. I have been through multiple generations of radio triggers and have somewhat abandoned the older stuff and focused on the radios in the newer Godox Flashes. I do not miss having to carry multiple spare double A batteries in my bag. Godox has done a decent job of Xeroxing the Canon wireless system. If you have a newer Canon body, you can have up to 5 groups. On an older body, you only get 3 groups. Hope this helps, 110yd Thanks i need a receiver for next Thursday and adorama and bh won't ship till after and cheetah can't guarantee unless 2 day delivery for $50. So I'm out of solutions? Nicole

(3 edits in all) | Apr 14, 2017 12:39 | #13 Based on your other thread, if you own the Cheetah 360X and only plan to use the 430ex III as a background or hair light, you can buy the Adorama Flashpoint Zoom R2 (or Godox TT600) Manual flash for $69 instead. This flash has a built-in receiver already. It is not TTL so you set the power manually, but the advantage is you use the Godox/Cheetah system and don't need an additional receiver.

So I'm out of solutions? Go to Amazon, find the Godox Canon receiver and look for a seller that fulfills via Amazon. That means that the product will come from the Amazon warehouse. Depending on where you're located relative to the warehouse you may get it next day. David | Sharing my Insights, Knowledge & Experience
