Setting up the Yongnuo 560-TX with the Yongnuo 560-III flashes. This enables the "Group" function on the 560-III flash that is not enabled from the factory.

We have the Yongnuo YN 560-TX manual flash controller along with two Yongnuo YN 560 III Speedlites. Using this controller with this Speedlite, the biggest problem is how do you get them to work together. It’s very easy. We can see that this group function right here on a standard YN 560 III flash does not come enabled from the factory and so all we have to do is activate that. Once you activate it it is good to go with any transmitter. A lot of people think that you are pairng the transmiter to the flash, but you’re not. All that you are doing is activating the group function here on each of the flashes. Unfortunately, I have already done that so I can’t show you, but if you got this from the factory this would be blank, it wouldn’t even be there, you would just see a channel number and, of course, the digit dip switch. So what you do to get the group activated is simply hold down the zoom channel and the Hz/FN button at the same time, so let’s do that. This is known as the ACT screen. This makes your flash screens light up and you would just simply press okay. That should enable the group setting. Now that we have had that done on both of these, we can see what that actually means. I have set this flash to group A. This flash to group B. They’re both on channel 1. Easy enough to change your group. Hold down the mode and the wireless button, what I call the wireless button or the wifi icon, up and down, you can go all the way through F, A-F. I will put that back on A. Same thing, this wifi icon button and the zoom button gives you your channel and so we use the left and right buttons to go through. You can see it changes your dip switches. This is for people using the RF 603 wireless transmitters. Those were what you used with those Speedlites or to activate those Speedlites before this came out. This evidently was an afterthought or something that was just not put in to production. So we’re going to leave that to channel 1. On the transmitter, if you want to change your channel you just simply hit the group button and it will scroll through A, B, C, and if you press and hold it will get you to the D, E, F screens. I have two flashes here, A and B, so on A you can do left and right and it’s big steps. Let me switch hands so you can see. You can see that it’s quite fast. Going up and down will give you the incremental power outputs, so 1/32 plus a 3rd, 132nd plus .7, and then go to 1/16 and you can see that right there. Now you may ask, “Well what about if I want to zoom?” You can hit the zoom channel button and you can then just simply increase your zoom. You never have to touch your flash or bring down the umbrella or run to a room or whatever you’re trying to accomplish either as a strobist or as a general photography. Your mode button…hit okay and that gets you out of the screen. Hit your mode button and it will change it to the multi *****blanket out. I prefer manual. I think most people who use these flashes will. These are manual flashes. They’re no high speed syncs. That could be important to you if you demand high speed sync. I generally do not. It makes these flashes inexpensive. They come in at about $75 a piece and you get your transmitter for another $49. Amazon is where I get all of my flash equipment for this and camera equipment. They ship with a nice case, which I don’t see, and this stand which comes off. So that’s it. That’s the quick, down and dirty, how do I get my Yongnuo 560 III working with my transmitter. It’s very simple. Nothing to it. Have a good day.

Lol, I know you did this years ago but THANK YOU! I couldn't figure out for the life of me how to get one of my 3 to get on group.

These may be older models, but they still work. And if you have ther TX transmitter, it is not obvious how to get the flash and the transmitter to talk to each other. This video saves the day. Thank you.

Thank you SO much for this. You got right into it and were clear and helpful without me having to sit through a 45second logo animation, 2 minutes of introduction, 1 1/2 minute of begging for subscribes and a dozen pop up promotions of other videos!

Thankyou for putting this video up! I was mystified why there was no Group icon on the back of the flash. I'm all sorted now - nicely explained.

Thank you for this video! I could not figure out how to turn on the group feature on the flashes, so easy once I see how it's done! I love these flashes, especially for the price. I used two recently for a band shoot - positioned in different locations - but realized after that I needed the manual controller. I can't wait now to try again w/ the controller in the same setting.

Thank you so much. I had the TX for a year and could never figure out how to get it to work.
