Does not work with D5600

Does not work with my D5600 and SB-700 flash. I did call in to B&H before purchasing and asked specifically if it would work with the D5600 and was told it would. As it turns out the hot shoe on the SG-31 has only one pin which matches an empty hole on the 5600. This may be a good unit for some of the other cameras, but check and make sure before you buy.

SG-3IR IR Panel Works Great!

I purchased the Nikon SG-3IR IR Panel for Built-In Flash because I have always had a lot of lighting control problems using off camera flash and strobes due to Nikon's commander mode still setting of a flash. I read an article about the SG-3IR Panel and thought I would give it a try. What a difference! It works perfectly. Goes on and off easily and fits in my camera bag perfectly. I'm a happy Customer B&H...

question

Can this be used on an Canon 60D?
Asked by: Anonymous
It's a cold shoe product -- if it fits over the Canon pop-up flash, and if the IR behavior is similar, it should work. We used it on Nikon DLSRS, but also tested it on an E-M1's mini add-on flash -- worked perfectly -- before buying Metz IR Brackets for the Olympus cameras.

question

How much the maximum range from flash and horzontal and vertical angle does it work?
Asked by: Anonymous
Any range calculation while using this, would be determined by the sensitivity of your slave strobe's ability to see another flash. I use this with Yongnuo 560 II's, and it works very well. You'll have to be daring and spend a whole $11.95 to answer your own question.

question

Will this Nikon SG-3IR Replacement IR Panel work on a D5300 and third party flash i.e. Bolt?
Asked by: Kevin T.
I don't believe that the D5300 would work as an i-TTL commander. There's a small chance you *might* be able to get this to work via experimentation and tinkering with your setup, but I don't think it will be a 100% clean solution where the D5300 does all of the work and tells the Bolt flash how powerful it needs to be to properly expose the scene.
