How to use the Yongnuo RF-603 N Wireless Flash Shutter Triggers

[@ERBREVIEWS]

Thank you for the question. Yes, either one can play the role as a receiver or the transmitter. They both have shutter release buttons on them. Yes, in bulb mode the trigger must be held down for the duration. On the D90, you're required to hold down the shutter release button until the exposure is complete. If you're going for a long exp. I'd set the camera shutter to timer mode and use the remote shutter release to trigger the shutter.

Bulb mode is to open the shutter as long as you want. for ex-1 hour, 2 hour etc. But you have to keep holding the shutter release button. But to make work easier, you can get a shutter release cable with lock which can hold down the button for you or preferable buy a remote shutter release from camera manufacturer and so it can open shutter for first press and close it on second press and you can do some other work mean time. Timer to be used only if you want to avoid even the least shake.

Good review. I also have these transceivers. I always carry a toothpick with me when using these triggers. This will solve the problem of switching on and off when mounted onto a flash!

Thanks for this nice video which convinced me to buy. After researchIng many blogs and forums, I found a solution being able to perform a flash test. You have first to activate the transmitter function on the transceiver fixed on the hotshoe of the camera by half pressing the shutter button of the camera. Then, the second light will light up and you will be able to produce a test flash by pressing on the transmitter button. Best regards.

[@ERBREVIEWS]

Thank you for asking a great question. The answer is yes, provided you plug the sync cable into your camera body and the other end into one of the transceiver modules.

[@shakthivijayan]

Yes, you have to hold down the shutter trigger of one you have in your hand while the other connected to the camera via a cable will then hold the shutter as long as you hold. If you want to press once for opening the shutter and once more for closing the shutter so that you need not keep holding to shutter release, you may have to but for approx 10 $, the remote for shutter release by camera company like Nikon or Canon. I have a D 7000 and remote ML-L3 and also 2 RF-603 N Yongnuo trigger.

[@ERBREVIEWS]

Set your camera to bulb mode, set your Aperture value, then depending what kind of camera you have you would set your shutter release button to timer mode. When press the shutter release on the camera body or the wireless trigger, this is the mode it will follow. You may have to log into the camera menu as well to set your timers length. The wireless trigger will replicate whatever your shutter button is programmed for. Let me know if I can help further.

[@MrHarryHooligan]

If you had free transceivers: one on the camera, one on the off-camera flash and one in your hand, Will you be able to take self portraits this way

[@shakthivijayan]

For one press to open shutter and second press to close the shutter, you need to use Bulb mode with remote provided by the camera maker. I use Nikon D 60 and Nikon D 7000 and with remote ML-L3, both cameras work and i need not keep holding the button. Once for open and once for closing the shutter and i can keep doing something else.

[@cincymyrtle]

do you just buy 1 rf 630 for the camera hotshoe, or do you have to buy a receiver for every flash you want to fire?

[@aiquelindo]

ERBREVIEWS Did you find out how to trigger test the flash form the transmitter unit? I have a similar device from Polaroid and couldn't do it either until I realized that if you slightly press the shutter release button on your camera (without taking the picture) just before you hit the transmitter push button then it will work. I don't know why though, it may be the case that the transmitter need the camera to be awake to trigger the test flash.

So just for my own clarification, I can set the camera to bulb mode with a timer. Next I would press the shutter on my camera opening the shutter (after X amount of seconds). The shutter would then stay open until I pressed my release? Sorry if this is a silly question, this is my first camera with a "bulb" setting.

[@graemehamilton6554]

Say I wanted to buy two speed lights to use on location would I have to buy this receiver 3 times? One for the camera and two for each speed light?

[@3njoi1t]

I've got a couple questions. First, are they interchangeable as a shutter release? Or does only one work as the trigger. Second, when using these in bulb mode (I have yet to mess around in bulb) do you know if the trigger must be held down the whole time? Or do you press the trigger once to open the shutter, and again to close it. Thanks in advance!

Will this work with the D3000? If not do they make a cable that works for it?

[@SugarValleyRC]

Good review, one question - can you control the flashes power output directly from the camera?

[@ERBREVIEWS]

No, you will have to adjust the flash head manually.

[@ERBREVIEWS]

It is a standard PC Sync cable

[@longbord1]

Can you use the trigger on the flash as a remote trigger for the camera so you can get both a flash and a remote trigger going?

[@chetanpanchal8526]

Can we use this Flash trigger above HSS. @ 1/2000 sec.?

[@gilbertovera9650]

I also have a D90 and a SB600. Have your RF 603 been able to awaken your flash when it goes to sleep mode?

[@andrewmcbride88]

do you find it to be a problem that the hot shoe mount doesn't lock?

[@the80386]

D90 is not medium format. Its aps-c

Thank you for the feedback. We have added an annotation to the video based on your feedback.

[@DertliDolapAbdullah]

What kind of input are the end of this cable ?

[@MrUM4R]

Is it compatible with yongnuo YN468? thanks

[@Jeremy5254R]

Hi ! Does the it also work for ttl mode ? I got a Yn467ii

[@ERBREVIEWS]

No it does not support TTL. Honestly, once you get the hang of adjusting your settings it's not a big deal.

[@TheKingsamiam]

I think these triggers only work in Manual Mode..

[@ERBREVIEWS]

Thank you everyone for the comments. Two corrections, the little port in the transceiver is not an antenna but the PC sync port and the the D90 is not a medium format but more properly described as a DX sensor camera. The D90 is not a full frame camera. The D90 is also referred to as a crop sensor camera. Sorry for the miscommunication.
