How Do You Setup Off Camera Flash for a Nikon D3300?

Is the D3300 built-in flash unit set to manual mode or a TTL mode in the menus? Page 229 of the D3300 Reference Manual

I had the same issue, same camera. I went into a store with my flash units and the salesman had the same problem but it did manage to fire like once from the Shutter with two flash units. It wasn't consistent. He thought there was something wrong with the trigger unit but I don't think he really knew what he was doing for what it is worth. I thought it was cool he tried before I bought. I am going to watch this thread.

Are you triggers for Canon or Nikon ??

Non TTL flash triggers are universal.

Have you actually got it on the hotshoe properly? And screwed down tight? I had a similar issue with one of mine. I had to push it further in about 1mm more. Then worked fine.

Use 1/160 shutter speed for now. That will be a whole other thread.

Mine were the promaster brand.

Can you take a picture of the setup (maybe with another camera)? I would like to see how the receiver is connected to the speedlight.

Set your flash to M.... Not S1 or S2. They are slave modes and get triggered by seeing another flash fire.
