FAQs

Can I use these flashes with non-Nikon cameras?

The kit is specifically designed for Nikon TTL systems. While they might fire manually on other cameras via the center pin, you will lose TTL metering capabilities.

How many flashes can I get on one battery charge?

You can achieve approximately 600 shots at full power or up to 1000 shots at 1/2 power.

Does this kit include a charger?

Yes, the kit includes a USB-powered MD1 ultra-compact charger and the necessary USB cable.

What is the wireless range of the system?

The 2.4GHz wireless system is capable of operating at a range of up to 100 meters.

Are the batteries removable?

Yes, the kit utilizes the HLX-MD1 Extreme battery, which is designed to be easily swapped for quick field changes.

Is the flash head adjustable?

Yes, it features a 0 to 360-degree horizontal rotation and a -7 to 90-degree vertical tilt for versatile bounce lighting.

Troubleshooting

Flash is not firing from the transmitter

Ensure both the speedlight and transmitter are set to the same wireless channel and group. Check that the transmitter is fully seated in the camera hot-shoe.

Recycle time is slower than 1.5 seconds

Check the battery charge level. If the HLX-MD1 battery is nearly depleted, replace it with a fully charged unit to restore peak performance.

Wireless connection drops at long distance

Ensure there are no large metal or physical obstructions between the transmitter and flash units. Check that the transmitter antenna is positioned correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your kit, ensure both speedlights and the Viper TTL transmitter have the HLX-MD1 batteries inserted. Power on the units and select the same channel and group on both the transmitter and the flashes to establish the 2.4GHz wireless link. The system is dedicated to Nikon DSLRs and will integrate directly with your camera's metering system via the hot-shoe mount. For care, always store the Lithium-Ion batteries at roughly 50% charge if they will not be used for an extended period. Keep the flash heads and transmitter contacts clean and free of dust, and store all components in the provided carrying case to prevent damage to the flash tubes or electrical contacts during transport.
