A brief walk through of the 600ex-rt and the e3-rt and how to use them together.

[@joserobertocastellon]

3 and a half years later and this video is still so valuable. Thank you for sharing all of this. I am now confident about buying these specific models. Thanks again!

[@Oxtailgraavy2023]

7 years later and this video is still very relevant. Thanks and much love and respect for this video.

[@racecrashrepeat]

ok. So you manage to explain the system so easily and efficiently without all the bullcrap...and even canon werent able to do this as well. Thanks for the quick tour. made it easier to get my head around the system.

[@pietanzaanthony]

This is one of the best tutorial video's for the Yongnuo. Great work

[@LeonardCartersureshotfoto]

Thank you very!!! I just got these a day ago and I'm going to use them at an event tomorrow. Your tutorial really helped me understand the Yongnuo system.

[@shawnrodriguez1991]

Thank you! Well crafted and executed tutorial on using the Yongnuo transmitter and speedlites! This really helped me out. I work in higher ed and I know a great tutorial when I see one! Well done.

[@scotia807]

I can't tell you the number of times I've watched this as a refresher. great video. Thanks so much for the info.

[@krane15]

Yep, you gotta come back to it a couple of times.

[@hitachino]

I just purchased this kit and was having a hard time figuring it out until I saw this video, well done and thank you!

[@angelwhitbeck4233]

I have been stressed out for days trying to figure out why they weren't connecting. It was my ID was off! Thank you for being one of the only helpful tutorials on these products!!

[@TimingInTime]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom with all of us. Well explained. I will refer to this video every time I have issues with my flash system. Cheers!

[@mitch60mccoy]

Thank you. Your tutorial was very simple and easy to follow as well as being very thorough. Much appreciated. Keep up the good work.

[@xcoryedge]

Legitimately the best walkthrough for the YN flash/controller system. Thank you so much.

[@adventurewillis7742]

I have come back to this video countless times!

[@TheLearningFilter]

Holy Moly! What a great, simple, and clear demonstration of how to use these two products. I bought these years ago and was decent at using them, but haven't used them now in several years. But now I need to dust 'em off. Looked up "how to" and found this video! Bam! Awesome! Back up to speed so quickly! And even learned more than I knew before! Great job. Thanks for sharing the knowledge.

[@613dawn]

Wow, thank you. I had the basics for my Yn-E3-RT, but needed this in-depth tutorial. Thanks.

[@PaulParkinson]

Thanks for this video. It's stopped me going mad! I had two YN600's working perfectly with the E3 but not my third. I could NOT work it out. Until I found this video and the point about flash ID's. Bingo! One of my flashes had a different ID (my fault I was playing with it) so I set all the units with the same ID and they all locked together perfectly. Thank you.

[@draxe9121]

Thanks for the very helpful tutorial. I use the Yongnuo YN-E3-600-RT with three Canon 600EX-RTs as I wanted the focus assist functionality offered only on the Yongnuo. Your tutorial was just as applicable to using the YN-E3-600-RT with the Canon flashes as with the Yongnuo units.

[@trifido]

What an excellent walktrough! It made me understand easily lots of options I have no idea how to configure or use... It's great for a newcomer to the strobist world like me. Thank you very much. Fernando, from Argentina

[@photo818]

Just want to say that I upgraded from the Yongnuo 560III flashes to the 600ex-rt flashes and was looking for a video showing the setup, well yours is the best and explained in the simplest form, I appreciate your time and guidance in setting these up, I am now good to go and ready to put them to the test, thanks!👍🏼

[@markcomputertech7997]

This is the best video. I refer to it often.

[@paskrell]

Mate, thanks for the video. I bought mine a while back and must say your video is greatly helpful. Thanks for making it.

[@johnspicer6887]

Many thanks for making this video. I just got in 3 flash guns and the trigger system. You make it very simple to understand and take hours of guess work out of the equation.

[@MW-tm3su]

Great tutorial intro! I bought their trigger and 3 of the 600's (and a 565) It's a steep learning curve... Really looking forward to the next one.

[@MrNitroAddict]

This has to be the best instructional video for the YNRT setup! Thanks for sharing. Extremely usefull!

[@randyfox5317]

Thank you!! I just bought 3 600EX-RT II/s with the YN-E3-RT and wasn't sure how to get them up. (bought them used with no paperwork and was only shown once how to do all of this) I can now refer back to this video until I get the hang of using them. Thank you again for a perfect explanation that was EASY to follow. I appreciate it!!

[@rhyssherring8042]

Cheers for that. Just got my new 600ex-rt ii. This was so much better than reading the manual.

[@kathyrobinson1975]

I just wanted to thank you for this tutorial. It helped me to quickly set up flashes for an event I recently photographed. Your instructions were easy to follow & you covered everything I needed. I continue to watch & review this a

[@tpaynephoto]

great!! thanks for watching

[@danknight4668]

Fabulous video! Very helpful and one that I know I'll refer back to often as I learn more about my Yongnuo flashes. Thanks!

[@corbyvinson1175]

This is a great video!! I am new to flash photography and I bought the speed light first, and then ordered the trigger unit immediately after I got the flash because I already knew that I was going to want to get that bulky flash off of my camera to do more of the artistic portraiture that I had envisioned. These two products opened an entire new world of photography!!! I am on a very tight budget and you can't beat the price and functionality. I will definitely be buying another yn 600rt ex or 3 in the following months!! Thanks for posting this video. You answered most of my questions.

[@tpaynephoto]

Corby Vinson great.. next time you buy, buy from me.. www.yongnuoUSA.net

[@mgportraits]

Excellent Video! thank you. I just got my set of 3 600ER-RT and YN-ER-RT. Can't wait to use them at an event.

[@66ElCamino357]

Great tutorial.....just got my 600EX II RT with the YN-E3-RT so this definitely was a big help.

[@VoiceDrew]

I'm new to digital photography having been a film guy many, many years ago. I just purchased the trigger and the YN 600EX RT II. Most helpful!

[@montadheralghanim3039]

can't thank you enough, I have 3 Yongnuo flashes that don't support high speed sync nor the 2nd curtain, but now I am comfortable buying something that I can use for indoor and outdoor shooting. Really appreciate it.

[@pedrolobo6892]

Congratulations, the best video I have seen about this trigger. No bullshit, clean and focused video, clear and simple words.

[@jimbarry9705]

Nice presentation. Well spoken and to the point and easy to follow.

[@tofer3737]

Great content, I am currently using the canon 600 and ordered the Yongnuo E3-Rt. The link up is seamless. Thank you

[@metroboy27]

Wow, I have just watched a full 3 day class followed by another 3 day on studio strobes because I've been trying to learn the Yongnuo YN-E3-RT II trigger with my 2 Yong. YN600EX-RT II speedlites; There was maybe a total of 3 or less minutes where they mentioned "Oh, and you can use a trigger too." Instead of a lightbulb flashing over my head when I finally "get" something, they basically turned the light off and locked me in with no food!! SO- when I found this video completely by accident earlier, I was hearing that angel-choir "AHHH" sound and a whole 'GROUP' ;-) of lights went all stroboscopic, lol. And even tho this is for the original and the display/menu's slightly different, they do the exact same thing and YOU MADE MY DAY!! Thank you so much for posting this, it goes to show even 4 yrs later this information is so vitally important to anyone learning!! And now I am gonna see (just cuz) if there is a separate vid on the 'RT II model. I learned more in 8 mins than 2 full 3 day courses on a 'creative' learning site! Somebody should be paying YOU to teach live streaming classes, for getting straight to the goods without hours of filler!! Thanks again, I finally got excited for off -cam flash again!

[@aliciarius3629]

Great tutorial. Straight to the point, very clear and useful. Thanks!

[@colinkelly7191]

thank you so much for creating this tutorial, T ! Ive just bought these speedlights and trigger. This video has been a great help. With respect to you.

[@SharonBenton]

Thank you!!! This is the best info I have found on using the Yongnuo trans and controller. I have been slogging through the user manual - ugh! This is just the information that I needed!!

[@skipwalker1954]

This is the best video out there for using these flashes with the trigger. Thanks! You made the set-up process very simple.

[@nancypbradfield4589]

Tim P ----- You rock!!! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with us!

[@rutjosnabet]

Clear, straight forward and did the job with pairing on both my Speedlites - thank you!

[@kevhildebrandt6585]

Wow, When I decided to get some extra learning with off camera flash, dam, what a lot to learn. Thanks so much for you excellent video of these Speedlite's and controller. It makes the learning curve so much easier to know and learn. Thanks heaps. Kev.

[@pelpa6662007]

I just got my Yn-E3-RT a hour ago already you have saved me so much time great vid

[@tpaynephoto]

+pelpa6662007 good deal.. when you are ready for more... www.yongnuoUSA.net

[@krisha1307]

This is a great video. Explains in detail. Very helpful.

[@DalsPhotography]

Best explanation I could find!!! Thanks a lot. Regards from Uruguay.

[@caporretto]

Just getting into flash photography, both x2 600rtxii an the controller, I am very happy I saw this video, very detailed and perfectly explained 🙏🏻 thank you so much

[@ifazislam9318]

how much did it cost the two 600rtx2 and the e3 controller?

[@s3enu]

Such a very easy to follow explanation. Fabulous

[@c102690]

Great video. Thanks bro!. Just purchased YN-E3-RT and 3 YN600EXs. This is all the tutorial i need. I have subscribed and will be coming back to check for updates. My little take away from researching the RT system when using YongNUO products is always to apply latest firmware update when things do not seem to work (when you're sure everything is setup correctly). Another one I have heard is to make sure you turn off the power-saving feature....where the flash will automatically shut-off if not in used. I've read about some link issues associated with this. So, the best thing is to turn this feature off. Thanks for a great tutorial!!!

[@moyahernandez8261]

its working with canon this yn e3 rt

[@brianandtarryn]

Very comprehensive, thank you. The book that came with the speedlites had me frustrated almost to the point of tears but I am on solid ground now thanks to your video.

[@tpaynephoto]

Brian Holder fantastic.. thanks for watching.. in the future, buy your Yongnuo items from me and I am always around to help. www.yongnuoUSA.net

[@thomasusher3933]

I just ordered this system. I've got a few days 'till it arrives but your video has me already ready to go (or at least start). Thanks so much for posting!

[@tpaynephoto]

Thomas Usher Man, I wish you would have ordered from me!!! lol... www.yongnuoUSA.net

[@thomasusher3933]

Of I get more, and I may, I'll let you know.

[@tpaynephoto]

enjoy.. the first thing to do once they arrive is make sure they have the latest firmware. it should be version 1.8.3 at this time

[@thomasusher3933]

Thanks.

[@Papparratzi]

Great info. I couldn't get one of my flashes to sync after updating the flash. Turned out that it lost my ID setting, easy fix thanks to this video

[@rmranjha]

Thanks Tim for such a detailed demonstration about setting up it. Indeed this video is a great reference. I would request if you can make a small tutorial about YN-E3-RT-II, it has little different overlay. Thanks

[@liangnie9148]

best walk through ever! thanks!

[@mitchkara2510]

Thanks, video is straight to the point and very informative!

[@JohnDoe-fp1tv]

Thanks for the video, I couldn't get my canon 600EX-RT to work with the Yongnuo's, changed the ID's and all good.

[@judehphotography]

Great video, helped me immensely thank you!

[@CindyMBrown]

Had to search to find this. Glad I did. I would label it "Using 600ex-rt with another 600ex-rt and/or yn-e3-rt. I'm planning to use the 600ex-rt on camera as the transmitter. Your directions for the yn-e3-rt work for the 600 ex-rt, too, so can bill it as such. Thanks so much!

[@Graveltongue]

Excellent tutorial, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
