Compatibility Overview

The Pixel Soldier Receiver is engineered for full compatibility with Canon’s Speedlite 580EX II, 430EX II, 550EX, 270EX, and 220EX. It also works seamlessly with the newer Canon Speedlite 600EX‑II-RT when used in conjunction with a Soldier transmitter that supports the 2.4 GHz protocol.
