The VX-760C Wireless TTL Flash for Canon from Bolt is a dedicated flash for use with Canon cameras that support shoe mount flash. The VX-760C features a guide number of 164' at ISO 100 and an adjustable tilt head with six positions: -7 to 90°. The -7° downward tilt allows you to fully illuminate your subject when shooting close-up. You can also twist it to the left up to 90° and to the right up to 180°. It covers a 24-180mm range (in 35mm full frame format) and extends to 18-180mm with the diffuser panel in place. In auto mode the zoom range is stepless, it does not set at 24mm, 35mm, etc, but matches the exact focal length of the zoom lens for optimal lighting. The flash supports rear curtain synchronization for shooting at slower shutter speeds. The VX-760C is equipped with wireless (optical pulse) manual and full TTL master and slave functions. It can operate on 4 distinct channels and in up to 3 wireless groups.

The VX-760C has an autofocus assist for low-light photography and an automatic power-saving function that turns the flash off when it's inactive. It is powered by four AA batteries (not included), with a flash duration between 1/800 and 1/20,000 of a second. A convenient HV port allows you to connect the flash to an external power source, such as the Bolt Cyclone, for extended usage and faster recycling. The included stand allows you to set the flash up on a flat surface or to attach it to a tripod head, light stand, or clamp that has a standard 1/4"-20 mount.

The VX-760C features full manual and full TTL wireless remote master and slave functions via wireless optical pulse transmission. Up to four channels (1, 2, 3 and 4) can be utilized so that master transmits only to designated slaves on the same channel. As slaves and masters, the VX-760C can be assigned to any one of three groups (A, B or C) and the mode and power set separately for each group.

Multi (stroboscopic) mode allows the flash to fire multiple times during one single exposure. This is useful to capture fast moving subjects or can provide multiple images of the subject moving through the frame. The VX-760C is also capable of being a wireless stroboscopic master, sending a stroboscopic signal to slave units.

The guide number for this flash is 164' (50 m) at 50mm and ISO 100.

The adjustable six-position flash head can be tilted up -7-90°, left 0-90° and right 0-180°. It has an automatic and manual 24-180mm zoom head.

As Canon cameras do not offer Flash Exposure Bracketing, the VX-760C is equipped with this feature to allow you to shoot three sequential images at varied flash power. FEB automatically adjusts flash compensation between -3 and +3, once above and once below the set flash exposure. This provides variations when determining the exact flash power is difficult. Red-eye Reduction and FE Lock are also supported by the VX-760C if your Canon camera has those functions.

The 2.0" rear backlit LCD Display allows you to easily make adjustments in low light and clearly see what your flash is set to for accurate readings.

With eight different manual power levels you can easily change from full to 1/128 power and fine tune your levels in increments of 1/3.

With a built-in autofocus-assist beam you can shoot in low-light conditions, using the beam to aid your camera's AF modes.

A PC sync terminal and included 12" cable allows you to easily shoot with the VX-760C off of the camera for increased versatility.

An HV port on the side of the flash allows you to connect the VX-760C to an external power source for extended use and for faster recycling time. The connection for the HV port is a Canon CZ-type.

This flash supports rear-curtain sync

A built-in reflector allows you to enhance the light coming from your flash and the diffuser panel, which extends the flash range to wide-angle 18mm, also softens the light for more flattering shadows and images.

Lock mode prevents inadvertent operation of the flash unit and overheating protection mode offers warnings when the flash is operating continuously with a chance of overheating and will temporarily disable the flash if temperatures are too high.

The automatic power-saving function turns the flash off to conserve power, allowing you to shoot longer

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Will I be able to use this flash with my Nikon D300 and fire it wirelessly? I don't mean as a slave, it will be my only flash, but I would like to be able to use it without any cables.

A: This flash will mount directly onto the cameras hotshoe and fire as any traditional flash will and does not require any type of cables or adapters to do so.

Q: 2. Is this compatible with the Canon 5D Mark II ? Thank you .

A: I have a Canon EOS Rebel XTi and the flash works perfectly from the hot shoe - I haven't tried any other configuration

Q: 3. Will this flash work with the Pocket Wizard FlexTT5, MiniTTI and the ACIII controller.

A: Yes they will. As long as the flashes being used with the MiniTTl and FlexTT5 are Canon E-TTL II compatible (which this one is), then the PocketWizards will not be able to know the difference between these and an original Canon flash.

Q: 4. Will the Bolt flashes work with the Pocket Wizard MiniTTI and the FlexTT5.

A: Yes they will. As long as the flashes being used with the MiniTTl and FlexTT5 are Canon E-TTL II compatible, then the PocketWizards will not be able to know the difference between these and an original Canon flash.

Q: 5. What is the difference between this unit and the VX-710N

A: The main difference between the two models is in their wireless capabilities. The VX-760n model features TTL communication and control and is compatible with the Nikon wireless i-TTL system. The wireless slave feature in the VX-710n model is a manual slave only, meaning the camera with a flash can trigger it, but it would be up to the photographer to set/adjust the power of the flash manually. Aside from this their other features are essentially the same.

Q: 6. Will this work with pocket wizards in the TTL mode for Nikon?

A: Unfortunately, I have never used this with a pocket wizard. However, I do believe it has that capability. My suggestion would be to access the manual for flash and the camera body.

Q: 7. COMPATIBLE WITH NIKON D90?

A: Yes. When the advertisement says that the flash is compatible with Nikon, that almost always means that it will work with all Nikon DSLRs...including the D90.

Q: 8. Does it allow you to attach a PC cord for off camera use?

A: I do not know

Q: 9. is this flash compatible with canon 70 dis this flash compatible with canon 70D?

A: Yes, this flash is fully compatible with the Canon EOS 70D camera.

Q: 10. How does the Wireless TTL Master and Slave work? Is it through the commander mode on the Nikon DSLRs?

A: The Bolt VX-760N can be triggered from a master flash or a commander on top of the camera like a Nikon SU-800 as well as a pop up flash with the commander function, which is found on most current Nikon DSLR bodies.
