Ray ovac rechargeable batteries work great with this and 600ex rt flash. Quick recycling and recharge them thousands of times. Wal-mart sells them 8 pk aa for less than $8.00 and a (charger and 2 pk aa batteries) for about $14.00.

Glad we could help!
автору спасибо большое )
I did order the Canon 430EX-III RT and used it yesterday during a professional shoot. I was at a reception where I only photographed at single shots but at a very fast rate. It was a bit dark and the flash was set at +1/3th over power @400 ISO. It was fast in the beginning but after 25 shots it did overheat already. Getting lower in power was not an option but since it kept overheating I did have to go up to 1000 ISO at normal power. I was photographing with another photographer that used a Metz Mecablitz 58AF-2 and she didn't have a problem at all. That flash is more powerful, but it didn't shut down ever due to overpowering the flash unit. I screwed up the shoot partly because I could not capture everything in time. Later on when the flash was cooled off a bit I only shot at the higher ISO 1000 because having a noisy shot is always better than not having a well lit shot at all. I ordered a Metz Mecablitz 58-A myself yesterday and will use the Canon for slow photography with my Canon Eos 550D since I could not get a shot well lit indirectly with bouncer on it, even at 800 ISO.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us Joris, we hope this helps potential buyers to decide which flash will work best for them.
Canon EOS Rebel SL1 is what I have. I followed all steps, manual mode/menu-flash control/built-in flash settings. Shutter sync is what appears
Hi Sandra, make sure you have the camera set to manual to access all the menus, on auto you don't have access to all settings, but on pg. 233 of the manual you can see that it shows the full menu features.
does the 430exIII support Linked Shot? This was an interesting feature of the 600 but its price has held me back. I. didn't know if this feature would come with a lower price point model.
Hi. Willvyou do video explain the new Canon 470 EX? Thanks
Hi Rafael, we just received the new flash so we will make a review probably during this week.
I noticed I cannot use the RT as a master and sync to the 430ex iii (not RT) they won't sync I don't get the green light is the iii not compatible with this feature?
Hi! This made things much more clear, but I still have a question: I have a Canon Mark iii and this exact flash. I'd like to know if I need a wireless remote transmitter to move the flash off camera or would another 430EXIII do the trick? Thanks!
yes, another 430 RT will fire the flash.
Great video thanks. Does this flash have manual mode or just E-TTL mode?
Yes, it does! This flash has TTL mode, Manual Mode, S1 and S2 modes.
Hi Izzy, wonderful video as usual! Question: I am an absolute beginner at flash photography and I am trying to understand if, besides buying the canon transmitter and 2 430EX-RTs, there is an equally relatively simple (and maybe less expensive) system or series of individual components that would allow me to trigger 1 or 2 off camera flashes without firing the on camera flash. I have a Canon 800D/T7i. Thank you so much in advance for your help!
Hi Idilia, the only way to trigger them us with the trigger set, and our Altura Photo trigger set for Canon can work with them too, they are the much cheaper option from the Canon OEM.
Digital Goja thank you so much for the super prompt answer!!!
If I want to use the flash separately (i. e. not on the camera), do I always have to use the internal flash, or is that only optional?
(8:31)
In slave mode, you will need the internal flash, but you can use it with some triggers also.
Where are all these options to wirelessly add a flash to the Canon M5? I don't see them in the menu at all. I read the manual and it says it has capability to do so, but it won't.
Great video, but if you use a darker background it would be easier on my eyes for those of us with bright computer monitors. I cant darken the monitor or it is hard to read the lcd screen on the flash.
Thanks for the suggestions Blair, we will consider it for upcoming videos!
Wireless Remote question: "Do I need another accessory to wirelessly trigger the flash...no you don't if you have an in built flash". How about if you own a camera without a built in flash? I have a Canon 1DX Mark II.
Thanks!!
Hi John, in that case, you will need a radio controller for it, they can trigger remote flashes.
Hi there, I'm just wondering what camera you used to film this with?
Thanks
Hi there! We used a Canon EOS 70D to make this video. ;)
Thanks for the tutorial. Will this Flash work with my ultra wide angle lens at 10mm? And also do you think 43 is strong enough for Realestate photography and portraits?
Ps is it also compatible with my Canon Eos M5?
Joel.
Hi Joel, it will be good for your lens, 0.43x is good for real estate photography, although the 10mm lens should be perfect for it, especially for interiors. It is fully compatible with the M5.
Digital Goja thanks for the quick reply! Great channel also!
Thank you Joel!
how to over come the sun with this flash !
Hey there, thanks for this video. Although this video is a bit old, I wanted to ask a question.
How good is its AF Assist Beam? Does it work only in center AF, and would it work properly ie. in night clubs every single time? Thanks!
By the way, is it also possible to disable the flash but enable AF Assist Beam only? Forgot to ask that in the first place.
Hi Ozan, in our experience, it worked very well in low light, it was very useful for many shots, however, it is not possible to use it without the flash enabled.
Thanks for the answer!
If you wanted to not use the built in flash, which trigger/controller would you need?
Hi, it depends on the camera, but most of the triggers will work.
Digital Goja I have a Canon 80D
@@AllyTaylor1 The Canon ST-E3-RT should work.
hello, I have a problem with my speedlite 430EX III-RT. it fires alright but the picture is still dark and when I take the external flash of my eos80D the internal flash says busy and never fires even though it lifts up.
Hi, please clean the contacts on both hot shoes, it could be that they are not making the contact and therefore not syncing.
Good morning, I would like to buy this flash, I would use it to shoot at birthdays or disco nights. Do you think it is powerful enough, being the guide number 43, for my needs?
Furthermore, the auxiliary focus is precise? Because not all flashes have a good focus in the dark.
Hi Davide, this flash is powerful enough and has a great focus, we surely recommend for your preferred use.
hello,
i have canon 60D camera + speedlite 430ex III rt
i want to know if the external flash is not attached to the camera, it is possible to fire the 430ex III rt speedlite without firing the embedded camera flash? or do i need to buy something to do this?
thanks
Hi there! You will need to use a wireless trigger set to fire the flash when not mounted on the camera (without using the built-in flash), please take a look to one of our best sellers: amazon.com/dp/B00NFYHTF2/
Hi my friends, I have question, i have 2 430iiirt and i dont know how to set up one on camera as transmitter only and no to fire? Is it possible, also can I have slave on different power than master, i tried manual and when I adjisted master to low powerthe slave changed too, please help. Thanks Joanna
Hi Joanna, you will need a wireless controller from Canon for that.
Just bought a canon speed lite 430exIII-RT to use with my rebel eos 100d. Can only use it mounted, or am I not understanding how to use on slave mode?
Hi Sandra! First, set the camera to Program Auto (P). Access the main menu and select Flash Control. Select Built-in Flash Func. Settings and Choose the EasyWireless Mode. The camera should be set to channel 1. On the flash press the left button on the thumb wheel, and select the slave mode. Once the flash and the camera are set-up you are ready to go. Remember the built-in flash must be up for this to work.
will a yongnuo wireless transmitter (YN E3 RT) work with this canon flash (430 ex III rt)?
Hi Gustavo, we're not very familiar with this brand. I'd recommend you contact them directly. - Izzy
I have a canon 80D and in trying to sync it with this flash and two yongnuo digital RF603 11 flash triggers and nothing seems to work. Ive tried everything and it just doesnt sync. These triggers worked on my old Canon t3i but not doing anything with my new 80D...Any suggestions anyone??? will be much appreciated!
Hi Adam, the triggers could be not compatible with this flash unit, you should contact Yongnuo for more info on that.
what is the best setting to have this flash on just for every day use?
The Auto setting would be best for that, it will adapt to the situation.
Hi, is this flash compatible with the Canon Eos M6 Mirrorless Camera?
Hi, yes it is!
I have a canon 70D, do you think this would be the best for me?
This one is great Leyla. You can also consider this one, it cost less and also has HSS: a.co/aX9pfBK
Is the light button on the left suppose to stay red or be green?
Hi, it should be green when the flash is ready to shoot.
I got a Canon EOS rebel ls2 and I buy this flash but I don’t know how they works :( please help
Hi Gabriela, they should work great!
Great informative video but I can't see the screen on the back of the 430 when you are showing it to the recording camera.....More than surprised that a photographer of your stature would upload a tutorial video with quality like this.... still enjoyed the information....
The man is taking his time out to show people and you have to say something bad.
angelisone a video you can't understand is not worth wasting his time posting
peter harris, Izzy has many viewers liked and gave him nice comments.
You should have gotten those ATG Gold flashes, but then they are not cheap.
And lucky you didn't get the Canon 600EX-RT or Canon 600EX II-RT.
Because many advanced flash photographers are lost on how to it correctly.
But if the got a Sony flash.
Well, even a rocket scientist will be lost reading the manual.
ATG and Gary Friedman were lost when reading Sony's manuals.
Look up and buy one of Gary's ebooks.
Why not fly or stop by at the store when you are in Miami, Florida?
Not many fine/nice camera stores are around in the USA.
Ever run a company or own a business?
Can't pleased everyone.
All is good until I get to the step after Built-in flash settings, the next screen doesn't show "easywireless" option? . Only choice is shutter sync. 1st curtain.
Hi Sandra, we don't know which camera you're using , but it's best to have the camera set to manual to access all the menu settings.
Does it work with canon eos 6d camera? Because i just bought one and something is wrong ;(
Hi, we suggest you to contact Canon in that case.
What radio trigger would I have to use if I only want to use one of these off camera? Would any trigger work? I’m not sure if I’m asking this correctly.
If you would like to use it in slave mode you do not need a trigger, the flash unit can be activated with the light of the master flash unit on the camera.
Digital Goja I only want one light source. Sorry I should have mentioned that haha.
Then you will need a trigger that is compatible with your camera.
Digital Goja Any recommendations? I use a canon 80D
Our triggers should work with it, here is the link of them:
digitalgoja.com/altura-photo-wireless-flash-trigger-with-remote-shutter-for-canon-dslr-cameras-and-flashes.html
Good video, can we use it for video ?
Hi, unfortunately, flashes are not so useful when shooting video.
Ok, thanks for your prompt answer !
Hi, can this flash be triggered remotely from EOS R using the built in wireless comms of the camera? Thanks.
Hello Dave Gaskell. That's a great question and I myself hope that it could be implemented into the camera bodies. But for right now, you would have to use either the Canon ST-E3-RT radio transmitter, 600 EX II RT, or an additional 430 EX III RT. If you purchase an additional flash, it could be set up to just trigger the off-camera speedlite without emitting a flash itself.
Digital Goja - Thank you.
You're welcome, Dave Gaskell!
Is this light able to stay on while recording videos in the night time environments such as a private garden in the country environment, with no city lights? Is this light able to stay on like a porch light while recording? or flash only for photographs?
Hello, Mantis views29. This is strictly a flash unit that emits a quick burst of light. If you are looking for a flash that has a constant light source, we would recommend the Canon Speedlite 320 EX. Keep in mind that this source of continuous light won't be as bright as a dedicated on camera video light. Thanks for watching!
@@DigitalGojaUSA Thanks for your response and suggestion. Does the Canon T6i Rebel have the dedicated on camera video light feature that you mention built in standard?
@Mantis views29 While the camera doesn't feature a continuous source of light, you can purchase a very compact LED light source that would mount to camera's hotshoe.
@@DigitalGojaUSA Thank You All so Much for your Guidance I am a fan now!
You're very welcome Mantis views29. Glad to help out.
how can i trigger this wirelessly from a canon 5d mk iv?
There are a couple of options. If want to operate the flash wirelessly with TTL you could (1) purchase the ST-E3 RT radio remote trigger from canon. (2) Purchase Altura Photo APC-958x Flash, this flash will allow you to trigger the 430 ex iii rt wirelessly via the optical system. (3) for non-TTL there is the Altura Photo wireless flash transmitter receiver kit.
Is this flash compatible with the Canon R?
Hello, Patrick. It sure is!
Is this working for Nikon or Sony Alpha
Hi, it only works on Canon.
can you set it off without another flash?
It can be set off with triggers or an internal flash of a camera.
just got a speedlight, canon 5DIII....can the flash be used off the camera? 5D does not have a built in flash
It should work with a radio controller mounted on the camera.
Got it, so I have to get a radio controller
Yes, with it you should be able to use it off camera.
Thanks for responding...
Will this work with a Ricoh GR
Hi David, it will only work fully with Canon cameras.
Is there any way the flash will go off without the camera flash?
Hello, lachlan harrison. You have a couple options if you want to control this flash off-camera without a flash on-camera effecting the overall exposure. You would need to purchase with either an additional 430EX III RT or the ST-E3 RT remote trigger. Since the latter is just a trigger you don't need to worry about a flash firing from the camera. If you go with an additional 430EX III RT, you would need to activate it as a wireless commander and deactivate the flash from firing using the menu option. Thanks for watching!
Is it ok to buy this(canon 430ex iii) flash which was used for 2 years??
It will depend on the usage of the flash over the years, if it was for professional purposes (used almost every day) or more as a hobby (used occasionally). Keep in mind that Canon offers 1 Year Limited warranty for their products.
thank you for your suggestion it was helpful ,
can the speedlite work with a canon 300d?
It sure does! You can get it at our Amazon store: a.co/1XTmnq5
Can a 270EX II trigger 430EXIII RT?
Hi, it can in slave mode if one flash is off-camera.
That would have been MUCH more useful if you could have seen the screen when you were showing the settings.
Thank you for the feedback!
is it compatible with Yongnuo 600ex units?
Hi Patrick! We are not familiar with that brand of flashes, we recommend getting in touch with the manufacturer for further assistance.
Hi! I just bought 3 of these flashes. How can I stop the Slave to not
fire? Some times I want fire just one of them from the master, is it possible? I can not find this function.
Hi Ivan, If you are setting the 430 EX III RT to slave mode you have 5 different groups to choose from. You have groups a,b,c,d,e. You will have to set each remote flash to a different group (not channel). Once you do that, you could control each flash from the master, so if you have one flash set to a, one on b, and one on c, you could deactivate b and c to change the group when the flash is set to remote press the SEL/Set button and highlight the letter on the screen and you will be able to scroll through the different groups.
Thanks a lot! You really helped me!
Glad we could hep!
One more question: can you set a canon 430ex iii rt as master to trigger a yongnuo 600ex rt (slave)?
Hi Ivan, my knowledge on that brand of flash is pretty limited, but I did hear complaints that they do not communicate well together. Perhaps you can try asking the manufacturer. Take care. - Izzy
How do you switch high speed sync off?!
Hi, you need to use a slower speed than 1/250 and it will not be active.
Digital Goja the flash will still burst shoot and will use more power sure;y? How do you force the flash to go back to standard mode?
@@paulheathcote1974 The flash will fire slower when the shutter speed is slower, just change the shutter speed to go back to standard shooting settings.
Is it compatible with canon 3000d?
Hello Joelien Tasic. Yes this flash is compatible with the Canon 3000d. Thanks for watching!
Hi is this compatible with the Canon EOS Rebel T5
Hi there! Unfortunately it is not, but this flash from Altura Photo is: a.co/345lD2C
Digital Goja thank you so much
can the 430ex iii flash be a master and still use a canon 430ex as a slave?
Yes it can!
How can I check Battery Info?
So How can I know my 4 batteries is out of power?
Pls....
Hi Nick! You need to replace batteries when the "low battery" icon shows on the LCD screen or when the LCD panel display turns off during recycling. Always make sure to use a new set of four batteries of the same brand, replace all four at the same time.
you're answer very soon :D. Thanks Digital Goja.
I just got my 430EX III on today, so I didn't know how to check battery, on LCD it isn't show the percents of battery.
I bought on amazon, but why in my box have no the Warranty Card and CD?
Unfortunately it doesn't show the battery percentage on the LCD. If the flash was purchased from us, please send us your order details to info@gojasales.com and we will be more than happy to assist you. If it was purchased from another seller, we would recommend contacting it to receive the warranty card and CD of your flash. Make sure to purchase your Canon products from Authorized Canon Dealers.
Try reviewing your orders on your Amazon profile and find the option "Contact Seller".

Can I buy this flashlight for canon EOS 1300D.
Hi Muhammed! Unfortunately this flash it is not compatible with the Canon T6/1300D, but this flash from Altura Photo is: a.co/345lD2C
No external battery pack, to save money. LOL could have fooled me.
I can't close that damn text box, put it somewhere else please.
Hi Alexandre! Sorry about that! We already fix it. :)
PLEASE be HONEST!!!
There is NO remote Flash control. Its an OPTICAL slave, nothing else!!!
I use a Canon 77D and a Seedlite 430EX III-RT and, I hate to say that but...
After using canon for about a year, I realized that Canon is realy Krippeling there Camera gear.
There would be the great opportunity to controll the flash with the Built in 2.4Ghz conection. but they don´t.
I guess so they can sell there crayzily overpized Flash Controler... Well.
Next time I´m not getting Canon.
You must not know much about this flash to have said those comments.
This as well as the ATG Gold, Canon 600EX-RT & Canon 600EX II-RT have dual wireless modes.
1. ATG ETTLII/M 2.4GHz in Master or Slave.
2. Wireless IR ETTL II/M in Master or Slave.
3. All Canon including all other camera brands do not have ATG 2.4GHz built-in
Try buying another one of flashes mentioned then come back and reply that you were wrong.
Then park either one on your EOS-77D's hotshoe... but then you may complain that you don't know how to set them up to work...You wouldn't be the only one not knowing.
Esse flash é um lixo, não presta pra nada comprei dois de dois vendedores diferentes e os dois têm super aquecimento após 10 fotos, devolvi um vou devolver o outro também que tem mais um defeito não acende a luz de auto foco mesmo configurando no flash pra acender!
Would this external flash work well on a 5D mk iii?
Yes it would!
