RF Flash triggers and transmitters


I am still at a very basic level with flash photography. I have some questions:

  • Can I use triggers of a given brand, say Phottix, with flashes of other brands, say Nikon or YongNuo? If I cannot, then how can I trigger both my Nikon SB-700 and Yonguo YN-560 (which I am planning to buy as a second flash)?




  • With non-TTL triggers, do I have to set the power on the flashes?




  • A transceiver can act as both a transmitter and a receiver; but I would still need a pair of them to trigger a remote flash, right?
