Nice video!

Thanks for this. One point: I use the Panasonic Eneloops with no problems. To be "green" you should not be using discardable batteries.

+Marty Turner I agree. I use and highly recommend Powerex. However, when issues arise with the 622 series triggers, it is most often a battery issue and I have noticed better performance as well as longer performance in these using the alkaline batteries. In my speedlights, I only use rechargeables..

If the TX is on a Canon 4Ti and the 622C Transceiver is connected to an older model (or non Yongnuo or non-Canon flash unit) on HS mode? The flash unit I am using is two Vivitar 285's. I've tried everything I can but it only can shoot at 1/180 or less... it just won't sync at higher speeds. Even if I use the Transceiver and a single flash on the camera directly it fails to sync at higher speeds. I seemed to have tried every setting possible. The 4Ti is set on wireless mode, etc.. Thanks.

+Chuck Watkins the vivitar 285's are not HSS capable so, they will not allow you to get HSS. everything needs to do hss. the camera, trigger system and speedlight. get some 568exii or 685 speedlights and you will be set.. www.yongnuoUSA.net

I'm using the 622n-tx commander with the 622n triggers. They work great the first day. The next day this product will fire my Yongnuo 568EX speed-light on random snaps. Many be one flash out 10 sanps. Zero reliability at the moment. Help please! Ty

+John C Try changing the batteries in them.. 9/10 times that is the issue. let me know the results

[@johnzonacat]

+tpaynephoto I've changed out for new batteries for all units. No change in behavior. Any other suggestions? / Thank you for the quick reply.

[@tpaynephoto]

another possibility is that the tx isn't properly in the hot shoe of the camera.make sure it is pushed all the way onto the hot shoe.. I have seen many instances where people thought it was all the way on, then they pushed a little harder and it went all the way onto the shoe..also, if you are using the d750, the d750 has a larger hot shoe than other Nikon cameras and can cause connection issues. After that, you may try resetting the triggers, as I show how to do in the video.

[@johnzonacat]

+tpaynephoto I have D750. I will keep playing around with the tx to reseat this device into my hot shoe. I've tried all other fixes in your video. No improvement yet.

take a look at this article. it will help you petapixel.com/2015/05/05/nikon-d750-hot-shoe-reportedly-causing-problems-by-being-slightly-too-long/

[@SuperLumberjock]

I have attempted to use my YN622N with my Sony S6000 but it doesn't work. Any ideas on how I can get it work? Thanks.

[@tpaynephoto]

+SuperLumberjock unfortunately, it isn't going to work.

[@umrankhan]

Can I do hss with this combo??

[@tpaynephoto]

+Umran Khan as long as you have hss capable speedlights and your camera does hss, yes.. this setup will give you the ability to do hss/fp mode...

Nice video!
