Yongnuo 622-tx and 622 triggers - how to use them

A brief demonstration on how to control and use the 622-tx with the 622 triggers

[@Woodworker1947]

The best explanation of how these units work so far - I have two of these units plus the controller but now I feel more confident as it was explained in a non rushed, understandable manner and not talking out the top of somebody's boots or through a scarf with two seconds to live! 5 Stars

[@765911]

Excellent! It's like you read my mind. Exactly the information I was looking for. Really appreciate you taking the time to share your knowledge. Thanks!

[@pleasantstrummer]

Many thanks for posting this, very much appreciated. Have just bought some of these and your video is a big help.

[@kee1422]

I tried and tried to understand the manual but couldn't. This video explained it all. Thank you so much!!

[@DanPattonFotoZ]

Thanks Tim, best explanation I've heard yet.

[@iloveunicornsish]

tpaynephoto awesome video. Best tutorial. I am bout to send back YN 565 EXII speedlight and YN622c controller. Got it for a week and can not get it work. As you advised, pressing all button in the same time reset the flash trigger YN 622C. It MAGICALLY WORK! So delighted and grateful of your video. Kudus Sir...thank you

[@davidjleyland]

Just bought these flashes thanks for a really clear explanation!

[@PaulHumphries68]

Great tutorial, thank you for sharing, saved me having to read the Manual!

[@madelynrubin1639]

Thanks a zillion! I have 2 Canon Speedlites, 600EX and 430EXII. I was confused regarding how to use the Master and Slave units, but I see I don't need the master and slaves with this controller and triggers. Awesome!

[@TalesOfWar]

I just got a set of these bad boys. I'm already regretting not getting 2 sets of the triggers. For their price it's hard to go wrong. A friend of mine got 3 speed lights, 4 triggers and the controller unit for the price he'd have paid for a single 600RT, which is a great piece of kit don't get me wrong, but first party gear ALWAYS has a crazy mark up when it comes to accessories. Like the £120 price tag for a tripod collar mount for the 100mm Macro. Seriously Canon, it's a damn rink clamp! It's 1/6th the price of the lens! It should come WITH the lens if you ask me, but I'm going off on a ranty tangent now lol. Back on topic. I like how simple these are to work out too. Of course being a man I looked at the manual and laughed maniacally and dived in head first. You mentioned a couple of things I didn't quite work out myself though like the 1/3 increments by hitting up and down. No idea why I didn't notice that one haha.

[@jimconard877]

Nice job on the video, very informative very easy to follow. thanks!

[@Shifty761989]

Thank you for this video this is exactly what I was looking for. Cheers

[@tpaynephoto]

Shifty761989 Thanks! Glad it helped!

[@rickbaker9992]

I have these arriving today, with the Yongnuo 685 flashes (xmitters included in flash). One thing I like about these videos, is that I always see some Hog Stuff in the back ground. Love my Razorbacks. I think we have the same desk as well. Great video, very informative.

[@tpaynephoto]

in the future, order from me! lol. Www.yongnuousa.net

Thanks, this was really helpful!

[@ewanobrien8747]

Brilliant video mate - all killer - no filler. I know f**k all about flash and stills photography, though I used to be a clapper loader and focus puller in 35 and S16 film, but in 11 minutes you've given me all the information I was looking for. Nice one.

Great tutorial

[@Connor_Dempsey]

Great video. Thanks

[@nickyandersonuk1]

thanks they work

[@SenorGancho]

Appreciate the tips. Good breakout. I'm always surprised with KZbin videos on photography that the 'author' does not have the lighting figured out, i.e. the most critical part of photography. For example the effectiveness of the video was degraded with the shots of the 622c-TX screen due to the glare of the lighting. Add to that the moving around of the transmitter. Perhaps have the 622c-TX fixed and test the lighting out before. As I said great points but for me the production issues took away from an otherwise excellent instructional video.

[@bobmusikk]

Thanks ! I tought that the 568II had radio trigger inside the flash, so no use for a external trigger. I will check for newer YN models

[@shaunbourne9107]

YN685 has built in YN622 triggers.

[@YeoPhotoGroup]

The non highspeed sync flash will work at over 1/250th - all the way up to 1/8,000th. I'd take the trigger off that non HSS flashgun and set it to S1 which is a built-in optical trigger on my YN560. Meanwhile my Canon 580EXll (one of your YN622 triggered flashguns in manual in high speed sync and set to full power. The very first section of flash fires the non HSS flash which is fairly slow compared to the 1/8,00th shutter and is almost finished going through it's normal full power blast as the shutter is closing. Line of sight is needed for outdoors but in a room there is no trouble at all. Full power manual on the HSS flash as there is a lot of light required (8,000 divide by 250 equals 32 tiny blips of light as the narrow gap of the shutter travels across the sensor). And full power on the non HSS flash so it fires long enough for the whole sensor to be exposed.

[@Nikonmannen]

Nice video

[@Justmi2cents]

Thank you very much!

[@tpaynephoto]

Anthony Louis Thanks for watching!

[@anghelov]

I have a Canon T5i and a YN568EX II, and I just received the YN622C-TX and YN622C. The HSS is not working right! I follow your settings but it doesn’t work with a shutter speed above 1/300. Any ideas? I want to shoot wide open in a sunny day.

[@emanuelebarbato]

Why do we need a trigger on each speedlite? Don't these yongnuo have a built-in receiver? Thank you for the video

[@paulfitzgerald4933]

hi, do you know if the 622-TX will work with the YN-560III's? I have the 560-3's and a 560TX. I was curious if I could use my current 3 controllable speedlights as their own groups and just add TTL flashes and 622 triggers. I certainly can't see a way to make use of my 560TX and a 622TX at the same time.

[@MrVinodbhatia]

Lovely informative video. I have a Canon 500d & Youngnou 568exii ETTL speed lite. I want to use the speed lite off camera. Do I need 2 of yn622c or one yn622c & a yn622 tx also ?

[@dobbienikolov9808]

Hi there. Great video. Wanna get the same set. I just wanna know can I use the YN568EX II as an full feature ON CAMERA flash on the Canon 5D Mark 2 body ???

[@bassplayer60]

Initially you set it up for ETTL...but when you looked again it was on Manual? did you make the change? or did it do it automatically?

[@vegas1134]

thank you

[@yoon1001]

Thanks!

[@poeticflairphotography7087]

Nice review. I just have a little awkward question. Do you know if the 622 tx will trigger the RF603 trigger if I have it on my secondary flash. So I am going to buy a yongnuo 685 flash and the 622 tx (comes together as a kit) . The 622 Tx will command the 685 flash. I know it will not make adjustments on the secondary flash that is on my old RF603 trigger.......I just want to know if it will trigger it......do you know?.....or in otherwords.....is the 622 tx commander compatible with the RF603? (they are both yongnuo as you may know).

[@allentay]

I use a Nikon d5300. Please I need your help. I have just bought a YN685 speed light, a YN622N transreciever and YN622N-TX. I want to use the YN685 speed light as my on camera flash and my Nikon SB 700 as my off camera flash using the Y622N and YN622-TN. Please what are the necessary steps to set this up.

[@I0nut09]

Hello. With this trigger you can shoot in the manual or does it only light in TTL? I wanted to buy this flash and I was told that you can't set the flash manually with this trigger, it only works in ttl mode. Is it also compatible with manual flashes? Thank you very much.

[@traveler582]

Great vid! I use the 622C-TX, 622C AND YN565EX II, YN568EX II for extreme macro shooting w/ Canon 6D w/ MP-E 65mm 5:1 and a stackshot focus rail. I set it for say 100 stacks @ 5 sec. intervals and walk away, but maybe after 85 one of the flashes batteries dies, I wish there were a battery level on the flashes like the 622C-TX has so I could see which one died. Also, is there an external power source I could use, 14 batteries is a lot lol 6 x 2 + 2

[@michaeljohnson8261]

Hope all is well! Was wondering if I could use this for a TT 520 speedlite? My mode are manual, S1, S2? I heard you mention TTL. thx

[@floex831]

+tpaynephoto I was getting frustrated on how to control my speed lights manually as I never use TTL. I am using this same setup except it is for Nikon, I love this video for answering all my questions!! Thank you so much!!!

[@PatrasDrummer]

hey i just bought the same system. I put my 2 yn600ex-rt to the triggers and the receiver to my canon 6d body. I put the flashes in M mode channel 1 and one flash group A and the other group B . When i try to change the mm and exposure(1/8)... i can change in only in one of two flashes, do you khow what should i check ?

[@Webrisernl]

Do I need to buy a tx to change the power remotely of the flash? As I only have these set of triggers.

[@nathannash9770]

I have a 622c-tx in hotshot of 5dmkiii. I have two 622c's on 430exii canon speed lights. Maybe its not possible to do what I want so I need some help...it seems to me if both of my 622c's are set to c1 and group A that they would both adjust to whatever I adjust group A to on the flash controller in the hotshoe. However, only one trigger is adjusting on the speed light. The other speed light will not adjust. Do I have to have them in separate groups? Seems like if somebody had 10 flashes they wanted to use and wanted 3 of them to be same power they could group them all in A. Am I wrong? Please help, thanks!

[@lindaholder2225]

I am shooting a wedding in a VFW call, dark and wanted to get your suggestion for what power to start at and zoom to start at?

[@MrTactiCALi]

Can you fire the 568 EXII by itself with the YONGNUO YN-622C-TX on camera ?

Im trying to trigger my Neewer NW985 speedlight, using two YN622N transcievers (one on camera and one on the OCF). Im getting only one flash photo, then the flash wont fire again until I turn it all off and back on. what am I doing wrong?

[@stevejg1001]

CAN I FIRE THE CAMERA'S SHUTTER IF THE YONGNUO FLASH IS ATTACHED TO 622C AND CANON 7D MARK II AND HAVING 622C TX IN MY HAND 10 FEET AWAY FROM CAMERA?

I have a new Canon 80D and bout the 622C-TX and 622C trigger using a 568EX II, First few pics i took I was able to control the the 568EX settings via the 622C-TX but as of recent it will control the flash power output zoom via using the 622C-TX..Any suggestions guys ?

[@guruprasathkrishnamoorthy51]

can this trigger be used for a combination of sb700 & Nisssin di 866 mark ii flashes. Kindly clear my doubt.Thanks

[@Hubieee]

The test shot works with the flashes (I can control their zoom, their intensity, their groups and channels), but when I want to take a photo they will not flash. What am I doing wrong? Oo... I can't make any adjustements in the flash menu of my camera (70D), as external flash/internal flash are not working when I want to use unleashed flashes. Do I miss something??

[@c0pyimitati0n]

I love how these flashes sound like an old nintendo game when you turn them on.

[@tpaynephoto]

c0pyimitati0n lol.. that zoom motor is loud isn't it?

[@CanecaProductions]

Thanks

[@BobFaulkner]

Thank you for an excellent tutorial. I do have a couple of questions about high speed sync which I have not found answers to, anywhere. The other way to set high speed sync is to push the Mode button until "SS" appears, which stands for "Super Sync." In this mode, how do we control the flash power? Is this a TTL mode? If we have two flashes, how can we change the rations of the two? The other question is: Pressing and holding on the Sync button brings up settings for Super Sync. There are three numbers there. What do they do? 3.0 seems to make the flash darker than 0.5 on the bottom set of numbers there. I find these two items very confusing. Sure hope you can help. Thank you!

[@BobFaulkner]

Actually, I just got my 622-TX controller out. It is made for Nikon cameras. The third button over on the top row is labeled "AF/SS". Pressing it quickly turns the red focus-assist beams on and off. Pressing and holding it brings up three rows of items: top row, "01"; middle row, "SS"; bottom row, "2.1". The bottom number can be adjusted from 0.1 to 3.0 and there is an "AU" mode for Automatic. Do you have any idea what this menu does? Thank you!

[@lindaholder2225]

Can these flashes be put on the shoe of the camera and be recognized by camera and used as ttl? I have YN568EXII - i bought from you.

[@emmanuelowusu-prempeh2151]

pls is this speedlite and triggers compatible with canon 80d...I will need two of that and the trigger pls

[@GeorgeTorres]

Sometimes I am using only one flash and it switches from group A to Group B. I try to switch it back and when I hit test I can see it switch back to B. I just take the batteries out to reset the unit. But I would love to understand what is going on, so I can save time. This make the shoot loose momentum and the mood.

[@laurieclouthier8088]

What flash mode doe the camera itself have to be set in. TTL, Manual or commander?

[@MIZZNIGHTINGALE]

I'd like to know the answer to this as well Tim. Thanks...

[@thomasbrooks8112]

Will these work with my two Canon 430ex flashes?

[@JULZs5]

Can these be used to trigger strobes and mono blocks?

[@1992Jie]

Thanks for the video. I have 2 questions concerning Yn622tx and Yn685flash . Q1If I get a YN685, and a YN622 TX. I put my YN622TX on my camera, my YN685 flash on a stand. Attach 2 RF603 on 2 strobe lights, can I fire them all at the same time when I take a picture? And does my YN685 has to be on manual mode? Q2: For taking selfies with YN685, can I just hold a YN622TX and take pictures or do I have to leave YN622TX on the camera's hot shoe and get a camera remote??

[@angelisone]

Maggie Mei Jie Li, assuming you have Canon with N3 Port. Q1: YN622C TX on camera, YN685 in wireless radio slave in manual mode 1st & 2nd YN622C with PC Sync Cables to monolights If you do not put speelite into manual, speedlite will do a pre-flash. And this will set off those two monolights early, resulting underexposed Q2: YN622 TX on camera 1st YN603C with Canon SR-N3 Speedlite Release Cable (1st YN603 to camera's N3 Port) YN685C set into wireless rado ETTL II slave mode. 2nd YN603C in your hand, to be used, as remote camera control AF and camera shutter trigger Buy two Yongnuo YN622C II Buy two Male to Male PC Sync Cables Buy two Yongnuo YN603C II Buy one Yongnuo YN622C TX Buy one Canon SR-N3 Speedlite Release Cable

[@1AtlantaKid]

Great video, I have question on the Nikon version, I just bought 2 of YB622N II and one YN622N-TX, the On/Off switch on "YB622N II " also has 603-RX and 622 position on it, I have googled it and they point to communication, can you explain what they are and how they are used on these devices?

[@tpaynephoto]

1AtlantaKid the 603rx setting simply allows you to use the 622nii or 622cii with the 560-tx controller. It operates on the rf603 trigger frequency..

[@Surfingboye]

Any idea if you can get the camera to fire the 622C TX connected via a cable (ie. not using the hotshoe)?

[@tpaynephoto]

yes.. if your camera has a pc sync plug, you can connect the pc sync cord to the tx and it will fire...

[@ivoorellana5194]

i have the yn560ii speedlite flash with a yn622c + the yn622c-tx on my on my 5dmarkiii but i can not get it to work with the second curtain i tried from the settings on my camera and from the yn622c-tx but i just can't get it to work any idea ?

[@shaunbourne9107]

I have a YN560ii and a yn622c and yn622c-tx, the 560ii is not compatible with the trigger and will this setup will only fire the flash not change any settings via the tx. I bought the YN685 with built in 622c triggers.

[@tpaynephoto]

juilian, Yes. you can use the 622's to trigger low voltage strobes such as Alien Bees, Einsteins etc.. DO NOT USE them with high voltage items like the Speedotron Brown line etc... I burned out a few of them trying to trigger pack lights like that..

[@jsfoto24]

+tpaynephoto How do you setup the 622 to fire the Alien Bees? Do you have video on that?

[@jjohngolden5273]

just hook the 622 to the back of it using the AB sync cord, all ready to go, and you can actually super sync the AB strobe up to 1/4000 sec, not HSS but SS worked like a charm

[@javierherrera9450]

Sounds easy but IT IS NOT WORKING FOR ME!!! Aaarrgghhh hahaha I'm so frustrated and I have no idea what is up! I have a 622C-TX on my cameras hot shoe and another one hooked up to my AB Einstein via a PC sync cord and it is NOT firing it! I tried using a 2.5mm to 3.5mm cable to hook up the 622tx to the AB and it will actually fire it but about 1 second AFTER my shutter goes off, waaay out of sync! Any ideas friends?

[@jjohngolden5273]

I put the tx in ss mode and hooked the reciever into the back set my camera to 320sp and it synced up to 1/4000

[@javierherrera9450]

what is 320sp??

[@albertmedina4938]

i recently purchased the 622c triggers, i did not purchase the controller (only own two flashes, my goal was to fill key light and back light.) however i find myself only being able to shoot in manual mode on the flashes. the triggers default to manual. my two flashes are the 430exii (ettl capabilities) and yonguno 560ii (manual only flash). with my 430exii mounted on the trigger with the trigger mounted on my body why is it i cannot have ettl on my body, and off camera my yonguno shooting in manual is this because i need the controller to set each group or am i only limited to manual controlling with these two triggers alone?

[@tpaynephoto]

check the in camera setting. I have another video that shows how to use them with the in camera menu system on my channel.

[@1964photo]

Hi Thank you for your greate explanation . What kind of flash yongnuo works best with the wireless flash controller Yongnuo YN622C-TX ? I have camera canon 5D ll , canon 550D and flash canon 580 EX . Please replay

[@tpaynephoto]

+marathon you would be best getting the 622c starter kit which includes the controller (622c-tx) as well as a transceiver (622c) for your 580ex.. Then, when you are ready to add additional speedlights, Yongnuo now offers the YN685 which has the receiver for the 622c built into it. Here is a link to my website that has them available. www.yongnuoUSA.net

[@nickyandersonuk1]

Hi can i ask may be a stupid question but will the wireless frequency work with other triggers, I have the Neewer 4 Channels Wireless/Radio and need an extra trigger to use on a second flash

[@tpaynephoto]

+Nicky Anderson I believe they likely function on a different frequency range.. I have not come across other triggers that function with them. However, on the new version 622cII, they do have the 560-tx (rf603/605) receiver mode and can function with the 560-tx as well as the rf603 and rf605 triggers. yongnuousa.net/products/622cii-triggers-pair

[@b.whisky9438]

I need help. I just purchased the yn568 ex speedlite with the yongnuo yn622n-tx with the yn622n i-ttl and I don't know why my flash settings won't change when I change it on my controller. I have the correct channel and group. I have the yn622-n ittl on group a and channel 1. Which my controller is also set to group a and channel 1. When I change the power to 1/8, the flash doesn't change. It doesn't match what is on my controller. I need advice please. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

[@tpaynephoto]

+B. Bulauitan Here is my video on how to use the nikon version - kzbin.info/www/bejne/inXPkGV3a7lriqc

[@MKLStudioColombia]

I have two flash Yn650II, i can use all features with the Yongnuo 622-tx and 622 triggers?

[@tpaynephoto]

+MKL Studio do you mean 560II?? if that is the case, no, they will not work with this setup.

[@eamillama]

Hi tpaynephoto, i have question. Is it possible to have 2 Triggers and 3 Transreceivers because I have 2 Nikon bodies.

[@tpaynephoto]

+eamillama yes, you can share lights with another camera by using multiple controllers.. here is the video I made for Nikon users - kzbin.info/www/bejne/inXPkGV3a7lriqc

[@kevhildebrandt6585]

G'day there, Thanks for the KZbin Vid about these triggers. A quick ask about these, I've got a Canon 7D & 7D MkII, with YN568-EXII, I need to get the YN 622-TX and 622C to suit the Canon EOS. Can I use the 568 AND 600 in the same setup? I'm pretty sure I can, just wanted to ask as you seem to know a bit more than me as the setup's etc. Thanks, Kev.

[@tpaynephoto]

Kev Hildebrandt yes, you can as long as you have a 622 attached to the 600. they use different radio frequency so the built in radio on the 600 isn't the same as the 622 radio frequency.

[@guyshaddock7110]

Is there a procedure for making the communication between flashes and TX's work? I am having reliability problems. I have a Yongnuo 565EX, a Canon 580 EX II and a Canon 600 RT. Often, one or the other flash won't work. Most often the Yongnuo flash won't work. Do you need for example,..... to hook up and turn on the trigger before the flash, then turn on the TX, then the camera ....that type of procedure? Does it make any difference the order?

[@tpaynephoto]

***** make sure that your 600ex-rt isn't set to radio/master etc.. because that could cause interference with the radio frequency. The most important thing is, always make sure you have good batteries in the triggers. They are extremely sensitive to low powered batteries and you will quite often get a misfire etc when the batteries are low. Also, try resetting the trigger by holding down the buttons and powering it on when you do so. keep holding the buttons and the led light on the back will blink red/green once it goes to a solid color it is ready to go again. let me know if that helps.

[@NicConnerImages]

So I have a question! What's the difference between getting the Yongnuo 622-tx and 622 triggers vs getting the YN-E3-RT Wireless Transmitter? FYI I currently have 2 Yongnuo YN600ex-rt wireless Master Speedlites and the Yongnuo 622-tx Transmitter and 622 Triggers set. They work fine, just wanted to know if the wireless would be more suitable because you don't need the triggers orrrrr?

[@moikyomakeovers8176]

I MA NOT SURE BUT I THINK YOU CANT SHOOT AT HSS TO 1/8000 AND YUO CANT USE TTL MODE EITHER

[@davinphelps5799]

I have the exact same setup and I am currently looking for the answer to this same question, did you ever get an answer?

[@georgeataowusu8594]

Does it work with nikon d7200??

[@PaoloC.]

couldn't you simply use optical trigger via the built-in flash (if the camera has it) and the bare 568 ex II without needing any triggers or transceivers?

[@RemoFiore]

I heard somewhere that there are Yongnuo flashes with internal recievers, is that right ? and if so do they work with this controller. Thanks

[@tpaynephoto]

Remo Fiore Some of the models do have internal receivers. unfortunately, they have their own controllers and wont work with this particular one.

[@cpaden7]

The receivers say support for 622 and 560-RX. Will the receiver work in HSS with a canon 430exII?

[@tpaynephoto]

+Chris Lee yes they will

[@Vibes2me]

Can you do HSS with those YN565EX and that Trigger? I just got that trigger today and I think they sent me the wrong one. I think I need the YN622N

[@Vibes2me]

+Dave C Ok, you answered my question I need to upgrade to the 568EX flashes. the Controller YN622C does HSS just not my flashes...

thanks a lot just one question how do I trigger just one group without swithching off the flash manually? Thanks a lot. Tony

[@tpaynephoto]

Antonín Lavrenčík you can turn it off/on on the controller. Lets say you want to turn off group A. you simply press the GR button to get to group A, then you press the mode button until you see OFF on the screen. Then, there will be no signal sent to that group until you turn it back on. This is especially helpful when shooting weddings and events.

Hi, That Is What I Need IT for ... Thanks

[@tpaynephoto]

Glad I could help.

[@c0pyimitati0n]

I was really hoping to see you take a picture and see all 3 flashes go off.

[@tpaynephoto]

c0pyimitati0n In the future I will make a video for you and have 4 or 5 flashes go off at the same time...;)

[@c0pyimitati0n]

tpaynephoto will this work with HSS?

[@tpaynephoto]

yes it will, as long as your camera and your speedlights support it. I have triggered regularly at 1/8000. I have triggered Alien Bees at 1/4000, I have heard of others triggering them at 1/8000, but I no longer own them so I can not attest to that. I now use the YN 300w studio strobes.

[@franciscoortega2829]

Hello I have an SB700 and the 622nTX system. When i shoot in manual or ITTL i can shoot past 1/250 and no black band. However, when i engage the SS mode (supposedly for HSS) i get the black band anywhere past 1/250. I do have 1/250 auto FP selected. I suspect the menu on mine is backwards when it comes to HSS or am i missing something? pls help I need to solve this. Sad to say the manual sucks-I get a headache when I read it due to the poor english translation Yongnuo used.

Francisco Ortega I think Nikon kicks into HSS automatically when using these as long as the camera is set to Auto FP

[@georgegeorgopoulos6014]

Im trying to find out whether an off camera flash kit such as this one will work on a camera that does not have HSS setting. So I guess Im asking whether the TX controller or any trigger for that matter communicates with the cameras shutter speed to allow for fast flash use if the camera has no HSS mode? Thanks!

[@wondermoshu]

+George Georgopoulos The camera have to have HSS in order for them to work

[@georgegeorgopoulos6014]

Thanks!

[@frnkjones40]

+George Georgopoulos I use the 622 HSS with my 5d classic to fire speedlites and monolights. The HSS function works from the pc sync port. My canon flash works from the hotshoe in HSS mode.

[@rexcruciatus2036]

Is there a light meter that will trigger Yongnuo 622C's? I'm looking at Sekonic but it appears they will only trigger Pocket Wizards.

+Preston W. not that I am aware of at this time

I am new to speedlights and trying to figure out what all I need to buy in order to run two speedlight, one on and one off the camera. If I use a 568 EX II on the camera as a master, do I still need to attach a 622 to it or other 568s to get them to sync?

[@tpaynephoto]

Jeffrey Armstrong the 568exii can be used as a master flash. the capabilities require line of sight so that you they can 'see' each other. I prefer radio transmission, which is why I use the 622/622-tx. They work even if there are obstacles blocking the speedlights..to me, the reliability is key.. I would recommend getting a pair of 622c triggers..www.tpaynephotography.com/yongnuo-products

[@ChristInJeff]

tpaynephoto Thanks! Is it possible to mix the 568 EX II with other speedlights, such as a Neewer?

[@tpaynephoto]

Jeffrey Armstrong Yes, you can mix them with other ttl capable speedlights if you want to.

[@Odysseus_Outis]

does these functionalities works in full regardless of having the built-in external flash control features? - wonder if it works ok with B type body such as EOS 1dMark2.

[@tpaynephoto]

+im4ubabe yes.. they work with both types.

[@Odysseus_Outis]

Thanks a lot for the answer.

[@define102]

can it do hss?

[@YaketyYakDontTalkBack]

Can you use 2nd Curtain Sync with this trigger.

[@YaketyYakDontTalkBack]

Yakntoro Udoumoh Never mind. You answered my question in the latter part of the video. Thank you.

[@Duckmister1129]

I bought the yn622c tx controller along with the two yn622c triggers and two 568ex II's specifically for HSS and it doesnt work at all when I have the controller on my camera. I made sure that the controller has the hss symbol, the flash has the hss symbol, and that my camera is set to hss (which it automatically does). When I use one of the yn622c triggers as a transmitter it works fine. Any thoughts as to why hss wont work with the controller attached?

[@tpaynephoto]

Duckmister1129 That is very strange, what camera are you using?

[@Duckmister1129]

I am using a Canon T4i. Its extremely frustrating because I first thought it was the flashes but upon further troubleshooting, found out that it was the controller. Im so confused.

[@tpaynephoto]

Try resetting it. Also, try resetting the receivers. You can update the firmware by downloading it from hkyongnuo.com

[@Duckmister1129]

I've done this and it still does not work....maybe it just doesnt work with a t4i

[@tpaynephoto]

I have had customers use them on almost every canon camera.. yes, they work on the t4i. what is the specific issue you are running into?

[@SommaLaw]

I recently purchased two Yongnuo 568EX II flashes and have been trying to use them with the Youngnuo YN622-C TX controller and YN622-C Trigger Transceiver. While the flashes are firing, I'm having two issues: (1) I am not seeing and difference in the flash power in manual mode - whether I set it to full power (1/1) or minimum power (1/128) it completely blows out any image and is seemingly firing at full power; and (2) when I set the controller to ETTL mode the flash is firing but not registering at all in the image. The captured image is lit strictly by the ambient light. This second problem seems like a sync issue. In fact, taking a picture of the flash unit (at 1/60 - not High-speed sync) captures the image of the flash unit without showing the flash firing. Any help is appreciated.

[@tpaynephoto]

+Ralph Somma I just responded on the other video..

[@martamagicphotography589]

+tpaynephoto which one is it? as I'm having same problems

[@laurieclouthier8088]

What mode was your built in controller for flash on the camera set to?

[@goodonlyknows]

Can we have morw than 1 flash in 1 group... Say in group A xan we hav 2 to 3 flashes...

[@lindaholder2225]

Does the 560-II do HSS? Also can do TTL with this flash? I have the YN560-II and YN568-II.

[@tpaynephoto]

the 560-ii is a manual flash only that is not capable of hss

[@Oggiwara1]

Can I use the 622 trigger or transreceivers to fire the YN603c with my manual Youngnou flashes?

[@paulthompson9768]

Hi great review! Will these work with all Canon ex flashes on manual?Or just ETTL

[@usamaj.9772]

Paul Thompson Hi Paul. On canon, they work on both manual and ETTL. Only on Nikon, they just work on ETTL. Hope that helps.

[@paulthompson9768]

Cheers Usama
