This is an excellent example of how to properly explain this scenario. All the other videos on the same subject are just painful and poorly explained. Keep up the good work.

[@TopicRentalsAuckland]

Many thanks. Appreciate the feedback

[@angelisone]

Topic Camera Lens Rentals, you've answered Gmon750. How about my questions? Again, how do you disable the ATG AF LED blinking beam on the remote flash?

[@Gmon750]

community.usa.canon.com/t5/Speedlites/My-Speedlight-600EX-RT-LINK-Lid-is-always-Red-when-in-Slave-mode/td-p/127202 Found in a 3-second search on Google. :/ The reason why the author didn't answer you is probably due to your question having absolutely nothing to do with this subject at hand.

[@angelisone]

Gmon750, no that is not it. Again, having to flashes (600EX-RT): *one on camera with N3 cable from flash to camera (beside T5i has no N3 socket) on ATG wireless radio Master. *second used as a walking wireless remote trigger, set in ATG wireless radio Slave. Which setting to disable the ATG AF Assist Beam from flashing on and off from the walking remote trigger (second flash you are holding)? And also you think you can find out how to shoot in wireless remote mode in "C" continue modes? To the best on my knowledge only the ATG Gold 600EX-RT 1K can do that.

[@angelisone]

Gmon750, I am not referring to Red "Link" on back of flash. But referring to the front of the flash, that is the ATG AF Assist Beam blinking or some may say flashing, when using the 600EX-RT has ATG wireless radio remote trigger. ATG Canon EOS-1VHSr, Canon EOS- 1V to today advanced have N3 socket. While the Rebel series have no N3.

[@natestain7103]

Best video that gets somebody using their trigger and flash immediately without the pain of research and fiddling!

[@TopicRentalsAuckland]

Thanks for the feedback.

[@carlyleellis6984]

Searching thru all the useless info on the st-e3-3t then ran across this. Short but just what I needed. Thank you for just getting to the facts without any fluff. Great tut!

[@denisedawn5832]

One of the only videos to go step by step and take care of sync issues. Thanks so much!

[@TopicRentalsAuckland]

+Denise Dawn - Thanks for watching, glad it was of use

[@lyleak212]

Exactly what I needed. Every time I use my trigger I need a refresher and this was perfect!

[@DrPinball]

Great video tutorial! Simple and to the point! An example of how tutorials should be done. Thank you!

[@TopicRentalsAuckland]

[@mikeparrish6558]

Thank you for this great tutorial! I just received a new flash trigger but Canon's instructions, and able to find them, are cumbersome.

[@Ccaro42]

Thank you for this. One of the only videos that helps trouble shoot the synch problem!!

[@TopicRentalsAuckland]

Thanks +Christopher Caro Glad it was useful

[@sueclark1548]

Thank you very much! You were very helpful - trying to master multiply flashes is a bit confusing. I appreciate your simple and clear explanation.

[@marsonearth3652]

I bought a Yougnuo 600Ex Rt-2 and YN E3-RT for my Canon 70D. Been watching many tutorials for few hours and couldn't even connect my flash to the remote. Because so called gurus out there even did not mention about channel and id which is something I definitely wouldnt know when I just bought a flash and do not know even the abc of flash photography. Thanks dear, following your video I have been able to take the first photo using my flash. :)

[@anonymousguy7723]

Interesting and concise tutorial, without crazy music ..... BRAVO...!!!!!!

[@TopicRentalsAuckland]

Thanks Denise. Glad it was useful for you

[@simonscottphoto]

Great video. The part about the ID was just what I needed to see having just bought a 2nd hand transmitter & thought the test button wasn't working.

[@bruce-le-smith]

Super helpful, thank you. Nice to have a short video on the absolute basics, before jumping into all the advanced scenarios.

[@TopicRentalsAuckland]

Thank you!!

[@donzi32boats80]

Have the flash, just purchased the Remote. You explained this perfectly. This was so easy to follow being straight to the point. Thank you...

[@skandalbanker]

Great Video, helped me a lot. I thought my transmitter was broken, but i just didn't set the ID right (thought that just the channel matters). Saved my life, thanks.

[@julietaj3539]

[@reginaldgraddy1170]

I have a pair of Altura speed lights that work great. I got them both for maybe 100 or so bucks (part of a kit, with transmitters, cables, diffusers, etc). Flashes have a simple job, go off on command, by (line of) sight or signal (sync cord or wireless transmit), at a specified amount 1/1 - 1/128. Paying a ton of money for higher name brands is just...ehh. I have a total of three speed lights, the two mentioned above and X-it. Had them a good four years, and they've never failed me, not once...ever. Ever. I even dropped one, on concrete. It still works just fine. For those that insist on spending a ton for the 'big' brands...well, to each his/her own.

Hi, thanks a lot for your video which helped me but what about the focal length please ? When my Canon 600EX is on my Canon caméra, the focal length is moving on the flah the same as on my lense but with the STE3RT, il doesn't follow the focal length lense moves . Is it normal ?

[@angelisone]

With two Canon 600EX-RT flashes. One flash placed on camera. Second flash hand hold use to trigger the camera. How do you disable the blinking red LED on the second flash (remote control hand hold)?

Will the 600ex-rtii work the yongnuo 560 transmitter??

[@shaimaaelnaggaredu]

very helpfull

[@cerec69]

Can you explain why with a group of off camera flashes they would want to be set for ETTL rather than manual if the master was set to manual? 🤔

[@ericthomas6014]

do you have a video showing how to use the 600exrt as a slave to the xpoler 600 by flash point? Thanks great video!

[@angelisone]

Canon 600EX-RT doesn't have Slave compatibility ATG/Godox system. Canon has only ETTL II Slave in radio or IR.

[@jagannathan7787]

hi to set an ID from 600EX-RT Speedlight to godox X1T transmeter

[@horrgakx]

Questions if you can help please?? At 4:09 you change the transmitter to M, Multi, etc. but the flash unit stays on ETTL and doesn't change to what the transmitter is set to. Why not? Also, once in the M mode on the transmitter, I'm struggling to actually change the value, it's stuck at 1/1. How do I change it? Thanks.

[@vaheminasyan4045]

Thanks

[@LilLion1818]

Hello, do you know how to change the ZOOM with the transmitter? :-(

[@forsterl.stewart414]

Alwys set channel and id at same time...I didn't think you would ever get it. I leave my channel on auto and id at say 2000 AUTO then all you need worry about is id #. Save to memory/next time memory load done and done.

[@manish4777]

hi! when i use my yn-e3-rt with yn 600-ex my batteries in 600ex drains very fast u can say i get aprox 80-100 shots if i mount my 600ex on the camera battery does not drain i get more than 400 shots n battery indicator still shows half remaining battery ..why is it so???? and why i cannot sync yn-e3-rt for 2nd curtain sync for exposure more than 2.5 sec ???

Ive followed the settings, but the flash and trigger still won't link up. Would there be something that I am missing on the camera?

[@24mjohnson]

how good is the ST-E3-RT (ver. 2) triggers now? I've heard people saying that it disconnects from your speedlights randomly and the only other way to link them back is to turn of the trigger and speedlights and back on. Is that the case with them still now if i bought one or is that issue fixed?

[@TopicRentalsAuckland]

[@arleneholland6829]

hi I was wondering if my 430EXII will work on this speedlite transmitter, if so how to set up. pls. help. Thank you so much

[@RainaLaako1]

+Arlene Holland I've read the ST-E3-RT only works for 600ex-rt. It isn't compatible with any of the older models.

[@davidglabais4919]

Is HSS available with this flash and trigger set up using a 5DII? Will this trigger also fire the 270EXII flash in its slave mode?

[@angelisone]

ATG Wireless radio HSS (ATG/Canon 600EX-RT/600EX II-RT) on 5D Mark II. Your Canon 270EX II is not 2.4GHz TTL. It will not do radio flashes. But if you set 270EX II into wireless IR as well as 600EX, then all will work.

[@ewouthonig371]

Get the *Yongnuo YN-E3-RT* instead of the Canon ST-E3-RT - The Yongnuo has a far bigger range and costs *a lot* less. But it does exactly the same as the Canon version.

[@sylviaaberte7054]

Is it compatible with the canon speedlight?

[@ernesto18]

2nd rear curtain is available when you are using wireless trigger?

[@angelisone]

Yes, on ATG. Including ATG AF assist beam. No, when using Canon ST-E3-RT.

[@DanielHernandez-qs2bj]

Hi man, I have a question for you... after I did all you say, the thing with de channel and the ID, the trigger doesn't recognize the flash or in some cases, the light on the flash is green and in the trigger is orange!! Can you help me with that??? Thanks a lot!!

[@ewouthonig371]

Set the channel to AUTO if you're not shooting with other photographers. No need to set any channels.

[@wedomusic.]

awesome =)

[@angelisone]

Anyone knows how to set radio in Auto A and Auto M?

[@stepitup5409]

looks real nice. Only problem is, on mine the trigger doesnt fire when I put it on the camera. 5d mk3 or any other of my canons. When I hit the test, it fires all the flashes. Back on the camera, no fire. Any ideas?

[@carlyleellis6984]

I know this problem well. There was a problem with the first run of the st-e3-rt that canon won't admit too. Mine would work on my 5d II and not my 5d III. It is a hot shoe issue. I tried shimming it out or seating it better by wiggleing it on the shoe and it would work intermittently. Same issue on the 5D IV.

[@danminto9540]

I've had no issues on my 5D Mk3 and both the ST3, EX600 and EX430. Maybe this is a hardware update issue? Hope this helps

[@CurvedSlightly]

The YONGNUO wireless speedlites and transmitters are cheaper and just as goo... oh, they just broke, looks like I'll have to buy a proper Canon one which is actually better and will last longer with better support, which is what I should have done, so I've lost money, what a numpty I am.

[@PauloMurteira_MassagemPro]

We all, in time, learn that cheap is expensive (in the end) Don't worry, just another lesson from life...

[@ewouthonig371]

Nonsense. The Yongnuo transmitter is exactly the same. Works fine. Maybe you should handle your gear with a bit more care. And seriously - what kind of support do you need on a flash trigger???

[@reginaldgraddy1170]

@Ewout Honig. Agree completely. I didn't even need to you tube how to slave my Yongnuo, like these Canon jokers had to for this.

[@forsterl.stewart414]

@@reginaldgraddy1170 some people are surfing KZbin because they are bored and will watch anything. Like some people buy cheap aftermarket items. I use canon because all my canon products from the 70's works today. My sigma lens I bought is now inoperable from the 80's. I have six 600 ex rt ii ,two 430 ex rt iii and two st e3's.

[@angelisone]

Major flaws on Canon vs ATG that Topic Camera Lens Rental failed to say: < ST-E3-RT can not do 2nd current sync < ST-E3-RT has no ATG AF assist Beam < ST-E3-RT is overpriced when there is no ATG assist beam. Buy ATG or Yongnuo < ranges is up to 100 feet vs 1,000 feet < wireless radio does not work in Ext.M
