==Nikon Users==

===Using Nissin with ControlTL Radios===

The Di622, Di622 Mark II, Di866, and Di866 Mark II for Nikon are not currently compatible with ControlTL radios (such as the [[MiniTT1 and FlexTT5]]) in their default settings.

Nikon users may be able to use Nissin speedlights with their ControlTL radios configured for [[Misc Tab#Basic Trigger|Basic Trigger Mode]]. Please be aware, in Basic Trigger Mode all ControlTL features are disabled. TTL, remote power control, and High Speed Sync/FP will be unavailable. In this configuration you will need to adjust power settings on the back of the speedlights manually.

You can read more about Basic Trigger Mode on [[Misc Tab#Basic Trigger|this page]].


===Using Nissin with Standard Channel Radios===

The Di622, Di622 Mark II, Di866, and Di866 Mark II for Nikon can be used in their manual modes with all Standard Channel PocketWizard radios, such as the [[PlusX]], [[Plus III]], and [[MultiMAX]].
