About this product

Product Information

Off-camera flashes capture a photography subject in more natural-looking illumination than a flash mounted directly to a camera. To operate your off-camera flash, you can set it as a slave to be controlled by an on-camera master transmitter. The Canon Speedlite ST-E2 wireless transmitter communicates with your Canon flashes, so they fire in sync with your camera. A click of the shutter button will trigger the ST-E2 to transmit a signal to your remote slaves. In this way, they can cast perfect lighting for every photo.The ST-E2 mounts to the hot shoe of your camera. On most compatible shoes, the device locks in place with the push of a sliding button. With the ST-E2, you can control any number of slave flash units. These are grouped into two channels, A and B, and each group can contain as many slaves as you choose. The ratios for groups A and B adjust individually. You can adjust the ratios in half-step increments for a total of 13 steps. The range of available ratios is from 8:1 to 1:8. You can also turn the ratios off, in which case all connected slaves will fire equally.This accessory is compatible with other Canon products. The specific Speedlite flash models with which it works are the 420EX, 430EX, 430EXII, 550EX, 580EX, and 580EX II. As for cameras, it works with both type A, or E-TTL / autoflash, and type B, manual, Canon EOS units. It is compatible with the EOS 1D Mark II N, the 20D/60D/70D EOS-1Ds MARK II, and the EOS 5D Mark III. It also works with PowerShot units, including G3, G5, G6, G7, and G9. An AF-assist beam operates in low-light and low-contrast settings with certain compatible cameras.The power switch turns this Canon gadget off and on. In addition, the switch has a hold setting. This selection will retain your current settings. It keeps them until the device powers down. In this mode, all buttons except the one for test transmission, which is used to check communication, are disabled. This way, you will not accidentally bump a button and change your chosen settings.Select one of four channels on which to transmit the infrared pulse signal from the ST-E2. The device functions over a range of 12 to 15 meters indoors. Outdoors, the range is 8 to 10 meters. Its transmission range is approximately 40 degrees in the horizontal direction and 30 degrees in the vertical direction. The transmitter must have a line of sight with the sensor on the flash that you are using. The device transmits the signals forward, so it is important to stand behind your flashes when using the ST-E2. Of course, with an off-camera shoe cord, you can work around this positioning.The package comes with a case for protected portability. The Speedlite accessory measures 2.4 x 2.0 x 3.1 inches, and it weighs 3.5 ounces plus the battery weight. The small size and handy case make it easy to slip this add-on unit to your gear bag with other photography accessories. The accessory requires a 2CR5 6-volt lithium battery. To conserve the life of batteries, the device powers down automatically after 90 seconds of sitting idle. It is good for about 1,500 transmissions before it needs replacement. You can transmit to your Speedlites about 50 times before giving the unit a short rest.

Should have bought this years ago
I have owned plenty of monolights and pack systems that have stayed on the shelves at home because I didnt want to carry around all that heavy equipment. I love that I can use this transmitter with my speedlights without the need for a third party trigger system. I have used this for Three shoots so far and I am completely blown away with the ease of use. I had turned up by nose to speedlight portrait photography for years but I can see now that I was so wrong! I have five speedlights and I can fit all my gear into two bags including stands. I am totally happy with this purchase so much that I just bought a second one for back-up.

Total wireless flash control. Remote flash became a kids game.
When you wnat to take a portrait installing the flash over the camera and shooting, is flattening the face or the object and produces several harsh shades on the back of the subjet. Usually bouncing the flash on a white ceiling or on a white side wall, makes things slightly different. If you want to reach the best possible result, you need to remove the flash from the camera and next step is to use two or more flash torches. The great thing of the Canon Speedlite ST-E2 transmitter is that it can talk to a diverse number of flashes, maintaining all the automatic features as if the flash was mounted directly on the camera. So now you are able to put one flash on the side, one on the other, control the amount of output (light)you want from each of them and shot. In the market are available ...

So now you are able to put one flash on the side, one on the other, control the amount of output (light)you want from each of them and shot. In the market are available some third party wireless transmitters. They have the advantage to work with radio waves instead of infrared transmission, making them more efficient on transmitting, specially in huge enviroments and open air. Price wise they may cost less, but you'll buy the one able to operate in manual mode, so you'll have to spend time to calculate and set flashes manually; then you need one receiver for each flash to control. If you want a third party transmitter able to control flashes in auto (E-TTL II), you are going to spend one and half time the cost of the ST-E2 to control just one flash torch and twice to control two. Bottom line is that the ST-E2 delivers what it promises in a top class way. Could be nicer, could be smaller, but it's a lot of fun.

It's "Great" once you know what it will do
The ST-E2 Speedlite Transmitter freed up one of my flashes so I have an extra flash to use in the field. Now I can also hold the flash over my head without the silly wire and it works fine. I tested it outdoors and it worked as long I turned the sensor toward the ST-E2. It's very easy to use. High speed sync is a push of a button. ETTL is automatic. No manual setting though like on the external flash. And if you have more than one flash - ratios are easy too. It has the red light to help focus in dark areas - that's nice. I don't see flash exposure compensation but I can do that in the camera with a push of a button and a rotate of the big dial on the back. It works just like it suppose to.The ST-E2 Speedlite Transmitter freed up one of my flashes so I have an extra flash to use in the field.

Yonguo ST-E2 works great (auto-focus assist, high speed sync, everything) !
This review is for the Yonguo ST-E2 (made for Canon speedlights). It works great! As good as the Canon ST-E2 is, the Yonguo is better in every way and much cheaper. The version that I bought on eBay (tomtop.wholesaler) has the metal foot rather than the plastic foot and has the improved (newer version) auto-focus assist, which also works great. The rotating head helps to allow the speedlight to "see" the infra-red signal from the ST-E2 transmitter. And the tests show that it has a better reach than the Canon. Best value for off-camera, remote flash. My 7D will allow off camera flash (which is fantastic) but has the annoying pre-flash and will not allow high-speed sync. The fact that the ST-E2 allows high speed sync with my Canon speedlights is a huge plus and I can now shoot off ... This review is for the Yonguo ST-E2 (made for Canon speedlights). It works great!

The fact that the ST-E2 allows high speed sync with my Canon speedlights is a huge plus and I can now shoot off camera with my older 5D and 10D as well. I'm happy that I purchased the Yonguo ST-E2 for $100 and passed on the Canon. I love Canon and use only Canon lenses and speedlights, but the quality, extra features, and value make the Yonguo ST-E2 a no-brainer. I have no idea why eBay asked me to write a review for the Canon ST-E2 after purchasing the Yonguo ST-E2 made for Canon, but there you have it. Maybe this will help someone out there trying to decide which way to go.
