Yongnuo YN 622N System Tutorial 20140228

[@David_Addison]

Dude thank you so much! I used the Canon versions of these on a cruise ship for 18 months total and could always adjust the power on the Controller no problem. But when I switched to Nikon I couldn't control the power which is one of the main reasons I bought the YN622N system... and you just solved the problem for me at 5:51 so God bless you, Sir!

[@SG-yf6dk]

Thanks for this video. I recently bought a pair of YN685 flashes and waiting on delivery of a 622N TX trigger. Now I know exactly what to expect 👍🏽

[@henriserano8776]

Thank you David for this great yet simple tutorial. I had been battling with this devices ever since I received them. Now it's all clear, ready to get the best out of it.

[@dannyb5874]

Thank David, I had problem of how to adjust the power output until you mentioned the flash has to be always in TTL...works like a charm...thank you !

[@randstader]

David.....thanks for the quick response.....most helpful ....I will be using 2 SB800's and a Yongnuo 565 all off camera (D800) so I'll set the receivers w/different group settings .....Tnx again!!

[@38jessiC]

So hard to find help with this flash. Thank you! This was extremely helpful

[@sfayers3361]

Thanks for the video David, very useful, don't need to read the manuals now, nice one.

[@georgelinder670]

Great, especially for one photographer coming out of the manual flash past into today's future.

[@ellexusse]

Thank you David, I would not have known to put the flash to TTL in order for this to work! I was expecting the have the display settings show up on the flash but it doesn't!

[@jakobvonholck]

Great demonstration. Thanks

[@surfingnoid]

Very nice review and tutorial! Thanks for posting.

[@hlpvinod]

Thanks lot. This video is very helpful.

[@tomazz.podlogar4826]

where can I see with which flashes is compatible? I have Godox v860 ii

[@M3dicinePYT]

Hey, you may want to include somewhere that the AF assist on the flash must be ON for TTL to work. If the AF assist on the flash is off, Manual will work, but TTL setting on the TX will not trigger the flash.

[@davidcarrico3385]

MAIKERU79 I'll have to check that out, have not noticed it. Thanks for the info.

[@tonyrigg9182]

the first two pics one at 0 compensation and one at -3stops look exactly the same ? at -3stops surely the image would be drastically under exposed, something not working here?

[@lichanhumtsoe2310]

Hi David, Can we trigger and control Yongnuo YN 560III flush with Yongnuo YN 622N without having to use another receiver? (Because YN 560 III has in-built receiver)

[@cliffjohnson3821]

excellent overview, thanks for your help!

[@dr.sandipmehta973]

Hi, If I have YN 560 IV flashlights in RX mode can they be controlled from YN 622 n TX ?

[@Aman-sj5pl]

Thank you for the detailed tutorial.

[@fargone2000]

Thanks for the tip on having to set the mode on the flashgun to TTL. I was getting nowhere before I watched your video. You helped me immensely.

[@birdsinfocus496]

I know this is an old video, but omg thank you!

[@AnthonyWashingtonX2K]

Great video. I am trying to help a friend, he has the same setup but is using a SB800. In the video you don;t say what your camera settings are, do you set the camera in manual or auto or priority. and do you you do anything with the flash settings on the camera? Thanks.

[@maza6323]

Saved my time else would have to read the manual. Thanks for simple and straight forward tutorial.

[@SommaLaw]

I recently purchased a Yongnuo 568EX II flashe and have been trying to use it with the Youngnuo YN622-C TX controller connected to my Canon Rebel T3i and YN622-C Trigger Transceiver. While the flash is 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 (I followed your advice and set the flash to TTL); 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 in action (at 1/60 - not High-speed sync) captures the image of the flash unit without showing the flash firing. Any help is appreciated.

[@RogertEspaillat]

Hi David, very good Video. I have a question. I have a SB900 and a SB600, if buy a YONGNUO YN-622N 1 x TX + 2 x RX i-TTL LCD wireless flash controller wireless flash trigger transceiver, and also a Yongnuo YN-568EX Wireless TTL Flash Speedlite, can I manage the three flashes thru the YN-622N in TTL?

[@johnnyrinsma]

Can you change the power for each connected flash seperatly? With this tx?

[@davidsisolak8403]

David, I just purchased the Yongnuo YN622N-TX Controller and YNN622N Flash Trigger Transceivers for my NIKON D610/Nikon SB-700 Flash. After watching your great videos for the Yongnuo I began installing and following your instructions on set up. Either my camera is not communicating with the controller or the controller is not communicating with the transceivers. When you depress the TEST button on the controller the lights flash on the transceiver...but NO flash whatsoever. Is this an update issue OR do I have something set up wrong? TTL,Channel 1, Group A on both Controller, transceiver, flash and camera. When depressing the cameras shutter there is NO flash. The lights blink on the Yongnuo transceiver...but no flash. Settings on the Controller are NOT showing up on the flash when I make a change. Help please. Thanks, Dave

[@kavkavia5476]

Thank you Best Tutorial on how to set up ad use the Yongnuo, I second the comment by AmaltheMoon1 below.

[@patrickmengler3658]

I have a Nikon d610 and a Neewer tt850. I was wondering if this will allow high speed sync with my flash/camera setup. I've been looking at a couple transceivers and just wanted to see how this one performed. I just need the right transceiver in order for my flash to do hss (that's what it said in the manual for the tt850.)

[@Firstmajortomlikestoticker]

Luk Crys Your statement is true "you don't need a HSS flash to have a flash speed up to 1/4000 or 1/8000" To prove this point with one of my photos with this link facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1834224870135005&l=fa129f88f9 In this photo; I am using (3) yongnuo yn-622n and one of the flashes that I am using is a basic YN560-II flash which does not have a TTL setting only manual, (I use this all of the time as a back fill light) and I am shooting with a shutter speed of 1/1600 and up to 1/2000 in some of the other shots in this photo session.

[@khurramkhan3796]

David this is a great and very informative video. I have the YN 622N-Tx and the YN 622n receivers. I have one SB910 and another Sb600. Both flashes are in i-TTL mode, both set to channel 1, the SB 910 to Group A and the SB 600to group B. They both are triggered and fire when my camera fires. I just can not change the flash out out from the controls on the YN622N-TX. What could be the problem? Looked everywhere and can not find the answer. Thankyou in advance

[@amitkrupal1234]

David in 2017 i did downloaded your video to that it might come useful when i purchase these triggers, unfortunately that day didn't came. But i accidentally uploaded your video to KZbin for storage but it got published. I don't intend to start any channel & let alone steal someone's hardwork. So i apologize if you find your video on page as uploaded.

[@johncandler8733]

Can you tell me what I am doing wrong.......I have the Altura wireless trigger system. When I hook it up to my two flashes and my Nikon D750 I can not trigger the the flashes when I push the camera shutter button...the only way that the camera and the flashes go off together is when I push the button on the transmitter which is mounted on the cameras hot shoe.....when I watched you using the Yongnuo YN 622N System I saw that the flashes went off when you pushed the camera shutter button.great video.......

[@dbthump]

David, I just received my TX and I can't get it to control my flash power or zoom. The trigger the flashes but that's all. It's no different than having a 622n on the camera.

[@rogermason8147]

Hi David, can the setup you have in the video work with Yongnuo RF-603N triggers and the YONGNUO YN560-TX II controller.

[@cliffjohnson3821]

I have 2 transceivers and 2 flashes as you do. Have you tried NOT using the TX transmitter? Instead mounting the transceiver on the camera hot shoe and putting the flash on top of that. The other transceiver is on a light stand with a flash sitting on top. The transceiver transmitting channel can be changed (talking about the one sitting on the camera of course), I figured that out. But haven't yet figured out how to remotely change the power on the flash on the light stand. Would you know? Any info would be helpful, thanks David!

[@JAzdre57]

I have a Nikon SB-28. Not sure why however, I cannot get this flash to sink with the YN 622N. I understand that there is a work around? Very good thank you.

[@MALITHA8]

if you were to use these with youngnuo flashes, what are compatible models where you can adjust the power using the TX. By the way your video is great and very informative. thanks

[@fx200fd]

David: Great review and explanation of the features. Do you always have to turn the unit off when making adjustments? Does it have to be also off the camera hotshoe? or can you make adjustments when mounted on the camera without turning the unit and camera off. I'm just thinking that when you are on a shoot, you want to make adjustments quickly.

[@davidcarrico3385]

fx200fd, Sorry if I implied anything with the way I use it. I just always turn everything off when I am taking units on and off a hotshoe. I think the manufacturers recommend that. However, I don't know how big a risk of a short or anything there is. However, once you have the units connected, you can leave units on, etc and there is no requirement to turn anything off to make adjustments, etc. I'll have to watch the video again to see what I was doing. I do have a personal habit of turning my camera off when I am not actively shooting, but that is just me. You may have seen me waking up the flash from sleep to show a particular setting, but in those cases the flash was on, just in sleep (pressing shutter half way wakes it up).

[@mikeg6511]

Hi, thank you for you videos, have you ever got FV lock to work? If you have I would be very pleased to hear.

[@kentfairfield7595]

Thanks for the really clear coverage in this video, David. I've gotten pretty facile with triggering two flashes from the hotshoe on my D800, so I like the feature of the YongNuo that allows adjustments on the transmitter, not requiring changing settings on the speedlights, especially if they're up on a stand. However, I'm using a Phottix Mitros flash in addition to the SB800. Will this trigger system work with the Phottix? I've tried to locate the manual or other info online to see before buying this system, and I find no working site for that. That creeps me out about buying this system. Do you know?

[@davidcarrico3385]

Kent, I don't know for sure. If it supports Nikon TTL, then there is a good chance it can be controlled by the TX since the flash just thinks its sitting on the camera in TTL mode when it is on the 622N. However, since you are already bought into Phottix, you may want to look into the Odin system. I do not have any direct experience with it, but hear nothing but good things about it. It is a bit more expensive than the Yongnuo, but still cheaper than Pocketwizards, etc.

[@kentfairfield7595]

David Carrico David, thanks a lot for your really prompt reply. You have a point about the Odin system. I find that that one is appreciably more (c. $400), so before responding to you, I thought I would dig further. I posted a question on what turned out to be a distributor in China, but nobody replied. Thus, I decided just to order the 622-TX and the 622 receivers and check them out. I ordered through Amazon, so I trust I can return them if they don't work as hoped. BTW, since other reviewers have bemoaned a pretty unhelpful manual that YongNuo sends, I will probably look and re-look at your video as my primary source for directions. Thanks again!

[@kentfairfield7595]

Kent Fairfield David, I'm tardy in reporting that I went ahead and bought the Yong Nuo transmitter and two receivers for my SB800 and Phottix Mitros. I've used them on two separate occasions and they worked flawlessly. I can indeed do the settings on the transmitter in the hotshoe, including adjusting the TTL settings or going manual (just as I was accustomed to doing with the built-in Nikon system). I hedged my bets by buying these on Amazon in case I had to send them back. I want you (and Yong Nuo) to know that since the company website is conspicuously vague and unhelpful, I did this only because your video here was so clear and encouraging. Thanks a lot! I saved a lot and, at least for now, am very happy with the choice.

[@davidcarrico3385]

Kent, Great to hear it worked out for you, and now I know I can share the info on compatibility between the 622N-TX and the Mitros with others, so thanks for taking the risk!

[@kentfairfield7595]

David Carrico You're most welcome, David. I'm glad to pass it on.

[@BenjaminKanarek]

Can you please show us a demo of how the Super Sync function can work. I just purchased the command module for the YN622N's. But as I shoot a lot in studio with studio flash systems, this would be nice to know. Thanks!

[@justlookaround1842]

i wanted to ask is it possible to " network / connect " this yongnuo equipment with the other nikon flashes? example i now have two flashes yn 568ex and nikon sb 700, can i connect them with this yongnuo controller and trgigger?

[@weihaochen3911]

Hi David, Thanks for the nice video~! I do not have the triggers yet but I do have a question Lets say you have 2 or more flashes under Group A, how do you control each one's mode and EVs individually from the TX? Whats the max supported flash per group? Thanks so much.

[@davidcarrico3385]

If you wanted to control them individually from the TX, you would put them into a separate group, as all flashes in the same group under control of the TX are set the same. The TX has three groups: A, B and C. If you need a fourth, you can set that 4th group manually on the flash, and assign it one of the three groups and that flash will fire, but not be controlled by the group setting. I could be wrong, but I do not believe there is a limit to the number of flashes in a group.

[@weihaochen3911]

David Carrico Thanks David, I will most probably get it to play around~~ Thanks again~!

[@Mateo1982able]

Could you tell me when did you switch from ttl to manual with the flashgun b? I ve got a problem with controlling power remotely (on yougnuo I set up 1/128, but my flashgun stays at 1/32)

[@BenjaminKanarek]

I press the test button on the command module and it activates the slave. But when I press the shutter on my D800 the flash does not activate?

[@davidcarrico3385]

Interesting. I assume you have confirmed it is seated in the hotshoe correctly. How about your sync speed and other flash settings? I have accidentally left my camera in the wrong flash mode before and had that issue, but after correcting the camera flash setting, it worked.

[@davidcarrico3385]

For more information on using the YN-622N system in HSS with the Cheetahlight CL-360 (aka Godox AD360, Streaklight 360 and Bolt VB-22), see my other videos at kzbin.info .

[@rayraypriest1]

can you let me know if this setup is able to work with the canon 5d iv with hss ?

[@othales6325]

Hi, can i use these to trigger my nissin di866 mark ii flashgun?

[@davidcarrico3385]

@ Muhammad Zakariya Muhammad, the 622Ns are transceivers, meaning they can act as either a transmitter or receiver, so you are good with your 3 and can use one to transmit. The 622Ns have a button interface so most people prefer buying the 622N-TX which is a dedicated transmitter. However, if you have a SB-910, SB-900, SB-700 or SU-800 you can effectively get a similar interface by putting one of those on top of the 622N on your camera and by using one of those as the controller. The 622N is pretty flexible, allowing a number of options. Hope that helps to clarify......Happy shooting.

[@brianminkc]

It looks like the TTL receiver is on orange mode. Thats supposed to be manual mode according to the Yongnuo manual... but I am finding out thats wrong. Orange mode is TTL not manual.

[@brianminkc]

Alot of people are sending these triggers back because of this.

[@nellojohsonphotography7139]

Great Video. I brought 2 TN5683X , 1 YOUNGNUO YN622N TX AN YN622N. But totally forgot how to adjust flash power from main trigger on the camera. This video was a great help. always in TTL

[@theanimeandrews]

david what is the difference between auto fp in ttl mode vs auto fp in ss mode thanks

[@revaaron]

I've been struggling to get this to work. I almost always shoot at 1/32. But I didn't know to always have the flashes in TTL. i'm going to try them again. Right now, I would have the flashes go off so inconsistently it's maddening.

[@photo377]

David, enjoy your videos very much. I have yn622n-tc and 622 i-ttl. I use them with sb-800's and a lone yongnuo 560-ll. I was thinking of purchasing the 560-lll or iv. I assume they will trigger from the 622n but my question is will I be able to adjust the power setting in manual mode on the 560-lll or iv? I don't want to buy another trigger if I don't have to and also be able to mix the lighting units in a single setup. Thanks in advance

[@davidcarrico3385]

Eli, unfortunately I don't believe the 560-III or IV can be remotely manually controlled by the 622N-TX. Their radio systems are compatible with the RF602 and 603, but not the 622. IF they supported Nikon on camera TTL, then theoretically you could control them remotely from the 622N-TX if they sat on 622Ns, but unfortunately I don't think those two flashes support on camera TTL on Nikon cameras. For that I think you would need a 468N or 568N. Not sure why their controllers don't support their varying systems, as it does cause some confusion........Anyway, good luck and please do post with any learnings you have as your search for the solution that matches your needs. Thx.

[@kokzai]

Could the YN622 Transmitter able to control the settings of the flashes without mounting onto the camera? My set up is one YN662 transceiver mount on my camera body with aSB910 flash and the other two flashes (YN 568 EX) are off camera with YN662 transceiver.

[@davidcarrico3385]

kokzai Not sure what you mean. If you asking if you can remove the YN622 and SB910 off camera and still use it, I believe the answer is 'yes'. Connecting them using a PC-sync to the camera will not work (I believe you would be able to fire triggers, but you would not be able control power or iTTL). In order to make it work, you would want to use a Nikon iTTL cable (like the SC-29) mounted on the hotshoe, and then mount the 622N on the other side of the cable. With that setup, all the control signals will still pass to the 622N (it will think its mounted on the hotshoe)

[@PaulHumphries68]

Hi David. Love the video and following your demo I am very close to buying! One question. Is it possible t hard wire the TX unit to your camera freeing up the hot-shoe so you can still have on camera flash as well as your off camera flashes? Thanks, Paul

[@МаксЗайцев-ь4я]

Thank you so much! I found the answer to my question in this video!

[@fourpixelstudio]

I have a canon and nikon yn568ex flash. I use a Canon camera and now I wonder if I could meddle canon and nikon flash in a slave mode. I'd buy yn622c transmitter. One yn622c reciver and one yn622n reciver. Will it work?

[@markshirley01]

I have 6 yn560iii flash my problem is they switch off after 30 mins, I've peen into power saving settings and chosen 120 mins but doesn't seem to work.

[@colinbryantmd7458]

Do you need a transmitter to work with this controller? I have 2 Yongnuo 568 flashes and Nikon SB600. I also bought YN560-TX and am wondering if I should return it since I cannot get it to sync. Thanks.

[@davidcarrico3385]

Colin Bryant, MD Not sure I fully understand your question. The YN560-TX is not compatible with the 622N system. You can set up the 622N system in one of two ways (3 actually) ,1) The 622N-TX on camera and a 622N under each remote flash. With this, you control the system with the buttons on the TX 2) The 622N on camera, and a 622N under each remote flash. With this you control the system with the buttons on the 622N on the camera 2a) this is the '3rd' option, where you have the 622N on camera PLUS a SU-800, SB900, SB910 or SB700 on the 622N on camera, with the flash on the camera set to Commander mode, and then a 622N under each remote flash. In this scenario the flash on the camera controls the entire system. Hope that helps.....

[@yourtallness]

+David Carrico Have you been able to update the firmware on the YN622N TRX II transceivers? While I was able to successfully update the firmware for the controller, the transceivers are not even detected by the updater software.

[@davidcarrico3385]

Sorry for not responding sooner. Unfortunately I do not have the versions that you can upgrade the firmware on. The only thing I have that is firmware upgradable is the TX, and I have done that successfully (I have a video on it on one of my two channels)

[@jimconard5889]

Hi David... is there a setting in camera that might interfere with my yongnuo 622n it won't fire the flash. The lights on the front on the flash blink when I test them but will not fire the flash. i am triggering sb900 and sb600 both flashes work great on there own. Took every thing off put back on my d750 and it all work great never miss fires. put camera away took out latter and same crap push test lights blink in front of flash no strobe firing. Is there any rest on these unit or any order they must be turned on any help or thoughts would be appreciated. Are you still using yongnuo if not what are you using. Thanks, Jim

[@jimconard5889]

Must have been my sb900 I connect to 568ex and they work great! Thank again for doing such a great job helping all of us!

[@sasatrifunovski]

Quick question - I plan on buying these triggers for my D610, but I got Metz 52 AF-1, and Yongnuo 560-II manual flash - will they all work together?

[@davidcarrico3385]

sasatrif They should all work together, but unless your flashes are Nikon iTTL compatible, the 622N triggers will act like dumb triggers and just fire the flash. They will not add iTTL capabilities to the flash and you will not be able to remotely set the power.

[@anthonyhazlewood5788]

Hi David - good instructive video.. I have a Nikon D3200 and a Mecablitz 44 AF-1 flash.. Do you think they are all compatible with the YN622N?

[@davidcarrico3385]

Anthony, I can't say for sure. I think the D3200 is compatible, I unfortunately just don't know about the Mecablitz 44 AF-1. If you do get a 622N and try it out, let us know.... Thx

[@Happycroco888]

Hi David, thanks for introduction. I have the 622nEX with 2 transceivers (Group A, Ch 1), but the flashes (2 new NY510EX - TTL in slavemode only) dont fire (they do in M-mode). 3 questions: 1. in display of the receivers probably "slave n". Right? There is no TTL shown. 2. In menue of my D800 I have on Master-mode, no intern flash, Group A TTL. Or should I choose first option "TTL"? Tryied all ofc, nothing helped. §. Any activation between both tools (like NY560 III with triggers) neccessary? Would be glad for an answer. Sorry for my bad english ;)

[@texanbme]

Is there a way to use these to fire another camera when you fire your main camera or even independently?

[@davidcarrico3385]

never tried that, but probably if you have everything set to the same channel, etc.

[@anthonyhazlewood5788]

Thanks for your reply David - I will let you know what is compatible when I receive the YN622N.... If it's not quite doing the job with the Mecablitz 44 AF-1, I will get a YN566EX or similar, and use the Mecablitz as a background flash or something - Thanks again for the tutorial...

[@alhhadhdeshpande9304]

I have 2 YN622n transcievers.. When turned on group and channel lights on 1st transceiver keeps blinking continuously whereas on the other transceiver when turned on group and channel lights go green for a second or two and then they do not blink continuously. Transceiver which keeps keeps blinking channel and group lights fail to trigger flash unit when tried using test button on YN622N-TX and the other transceiver works well. I tried resetting the transceiver by pressing Group & Channel buttons together for a while..but still 1 transceiver is not working..Could you please help me in this matter?

[@TGTruman]

The Hell with Nikon's inferred system, we need to know about how the Radio part of them work as I am considering replacing my Pocket Wizards and want to know if it can be used as a remote trigger for my Camera...

[@davidcarrico3385]

You can use the YN622N system to remote trigger. You plug the 622N-TX into the remote port of the camera (it comes with the cable) and then use a spare YN622N as the handheld trigger. Works pretty well (or at least it has for me).....

[@TheSmartodd]

[@MuhammadZakariyaDr]

Hi David I'm into photography for last 3 years and this is my first ever question/comment on any of the hundreds of videos I have watched online. Could you kindly clarify this to me: I bought 3 x Yongnuo YN 622N several months ago, but didn't use much. My impression was that those units are identical and any of them work as a Transmitter or Receiver. But after watching your video I am wondering if I was correct. I have never seen the "Transmitter" unit before. But I was able to fire flashes from any of those receiver units. Am I missing something or am I correct? Could you clarify this to me please? Thank you

[@buccianti]

Thanks for the overview but I can't get the AF Beam to work. When I click AF/SS it toggles AF-ILL on the display but it doesn't seem to trigger the assist beam. I know that I've done it in the past but I can't recall how to get it working. Can you please help? Thanks!

[@musketdaft]

David are there any settings you need to change in camera as in flash mode settings on your Nikon for these flash triggers to work? Thanks Alf.

[@mrz1342]

hi David, hopefully still you are there :) i have this kit that you explained in this video but unfortunately i cannot sync with strobe flash in studio! why? Yongnou dosnt have strobe ttl flash in good condition, also cannot be sync with Visco strobe ttl flash! because the receiver of visico is not working with Yongnou! so i have to set my speedlights from Yongnou with this YN622N receiver and transmitter controller, although even i cannot set my visico studio flash with other speed-lights because visico doesn't produce any speed-lights and Yongnou speed-lights cannot be sync with it! so, 2 set, 2 brands, 2 parallel setting... dont you think it is better to set all (Speedlight ttl and manual + studio ttl strobes + receivers and transmitters with ttl and manual) in ONE BRAND like Godox, Phottix, etc? thank u

[@rickkremer0525]

David,Great Video. Question, have you tried the Yn622n-tx with the flash from Yonguo YN685, ? The reason why I am asking my shots keep coming out dark using it off camera with ttl, vs keeping the flash on top of the camera?

[@JohnCarter1345]

Great Video. I have my AF-ILL indicator on but I don't see the autofocus assist lights. is there a setting on the camera I need to make sure is on? I have a Nikon D600.

[@s87343jim]

Hello Dave, I'm just wondering whether that supports Nikon's creative lighting system? So I can use only one transmitter one camera and receiver one flash and use the master/slave settings to control other Speed lights? Thanks.

how about the camera setting do i set it to 2 channel when using 2 triggers .

[@jtepsr]

david, i have these and i cannot get the flashes to work. except i use the yongnuo flash heads. i have 2 receivers and 1 transmitter set to ch 1 group a. i use a nikon d500. according to you my setup is right but it doesn't flash. now when i attached yongnuo 560 III head, that does work with my other units. so what am i doing wrong.

[@jerrykolberg5232]

Hi david can you tell me or do you have a video on using yn622n-tx and yn622n trancievers with 3 yn560 manual flashes that do not ittl mode?Thanks jerry

[@allannjenga8968]

Hi did you fimd an answer to this..kindly help..thanks

[@EnzoBalsamoprofessionaldj]

Could you help me please ?, my problem is that with my YN622-TX FLASH CONTROLER, and my speedlite YONGNUO YN685 has the built in radio, when operaiting from the YN622-TX remotely and, programmed in manual mode, and the zoom also in manual mode , when changing the zoom values in the YN622-TX FLASH CONTROLER the speedlite YONGNUO YN685 does not, but when I have zoom in automatic mode and varied the focal length of my lens works perfectly, I am doing something wrong?

[@caltari]

The buzz in the Internet/KZbin is that the FVL does not hold it's flash value lock and is faulty and only holds the FVL for only one exposure and has to be redone for each exposure and to this date been not been corrected by said manufacturer. Can you verify this or contact the manufacturer if the problems has been fixed?

[@conrdohenriquez8215]

n the 622n the TX Group refers to 3 Flashes A B C , not to groups , The Groups are in the in the 622 (Slaves) on the right side GP Modes Each group can fire up to 3 Flashes the A B C .

[@barbershop22]

Thanks for making this video. Very informative. You spent a lot of time making it.

[@bradfordolson1841]

hey i have D7200 and sb5000 i did most of what you did.. made sure its same channel and same group but when i take photo the speedlight doesnt light/work

[@DavePawson]

Am I right in thinking that the newer 622x II is only a transmitter? (x = canon or Nikon). Seems a dropped ball on Yongnuo part?

[@jay-1]

Great video. Do these work with Nikon flashes? I have a sb700

[@conniehipshire7928]

They work great with my SB700's.

[@jay-1]

Connie Hipshire thank you

[@mikehesterley8718]

Thanks David for the tutorial. It so happens that I would be using the SB 600 and 900 with the 622N System. Right now I am in the early stages of of research on this system but so far it is looking good and it fits into my budget. I shoot for fun and not for money. Your tutorial was quite informational and I like the PIP cut ins you use for closeups. Good job.

[@terrietesney8288]

So even if you are using manual mode you put your flashes on ttl?

[@jopanash]

Yes, so that you can set your flash power from the TX.

[@jaymac2324]

does this trigger have a laser focus function ?

[@IkeCantle]

Hi David, I also shoot with Nikon and I currently use the Yongnuo RF-603 and RF-603II triggers. My flashes are all manual, 2 Godox Ving 850 with HSS and 1 Yongnuo 560II. My questions are: 1. If I get the YN-622N, can I adjust the power levels and zoom of all the flashes remotely? 2. Does the YN-622N work with the RF-603 and RF-603II?

[@texanbme]

+Ike Cantle not sure about the RF's, but you can control power and zoom. With the YN and Nikon flashes they have to be in TTL, but the controller shows your settings.

[@IkeCantle]

I think your flashes are all Nikon. Mine are all third party and no TTL. Have you tried controlling the power and zoom on the YN 622N transmitter using a third party flash? Any info would help before I buy. Thanks!

[@timrosenthal46]

That was very helpful...thank you

[@leightonwong6897]

Does YN-622N-TX (I have firmware version 1.05) have proxy mode to be compatible with YN-560N-TX, enabling 560N-TX to remotely control manual YN-560IIIs' and I-TTL flashes on 622N transceivers? Apparently, the Canon versions have this capability...

[@davidcarrico3385]

Leighton Wong I do not believe that the Nikons have this capability. By the way, they have version 1.06 of the firmware available. I have not used it yet. The release notes only mention improved AF lamp compatibility with the D200.......

[@leightonwong6897]

Thx for your reply, David! Enjoy your blog and instructional videos'.

[@darrensheldon2338]

Great video. Helped a lot trying to get these set up. I am able to get these to synch and work with my SB600s in manual mode but not in TTL. They fire in TTL but are firing early? Manual works fine. Using the SB600 in TTL, attached to the 622N, triggered with the 622N-TX in TTL as well. Any ideas on what I have set incorrectly?

[@davidcarrico3385]

Darren, did you put your SB600 into the hotshoe of the 622N or try to attach it using a PC Sync cord? To do anything but trigger, you need to put it into the hotshoe. If you already have it there, I'll have to think about that, because right now I am not sure why it would be triggering early. Sorry I can't be of more help right now....

[@darrensheldon2338]

Thanks David, yes they were on the hotshoe. I will keep messing with it at well. thanks

[@DonnaDunlap]

Hi David, my YN-622N worked on my D7000; however, now it is not working properly on my D750. Most of the time, it will not fire. Do you think if I buy the TX and update the firmware, it might fix my problem?

[@davidcarrico3385]

Donna Dunlap Donna, I haven't heard much from D750 users, good or bad, in relation to compatibility with the 622N system. The D810 seems to work, although I've mostly tested in remote manual mode. You may want to try the TX to see if it helps (as it does in some cases like in the use of the SB800) but I would suggest purchasing it from some place that has a good return policy. Let me know how it works out or if you hear more about D750 compatibility.

[@JerryMilton]

Hopefully you either figured it out on your own or read elsewhere that is just a slight misalignment becuz the flash shoe is slightly longer on the 750...just pull the trigger slightly back till you hear the pins lock into place and tighten down the trigger anc BINGO works as expected.

[@hankypanky4u]

Hi, Do you know if the Canon 622 trigger will fire the YN685 flash unit, Nikon version?

[@photographeGS]

Hello I buy a 565EX flash YN YN kit and TX 622 N and YN 622 for my D3200 I'm changing the settings on my TX I do not see the changes on my éffectuer 565 while it is well on the same group and the same channel a solution?

[@davidcarrico3385]

Does your 565EX support Nikon iTTL? If so, the flash needs to be set in TTL. The only place that should say 'manual' is on the TX. Then take a few shots at 1/128 power (set on the TX) and at 1:1 to verify that it is changing the settings (you won't see anything change on the flash when settings are changed - other than possibly hearing a zoom head shift)....Hope that helps....

[@photographeGS]

David Carrico Yes it is exactly that, my flash changes is nice but nothing to indicate the flash screen, thank you for your reply

[@cebro648]

Great informative tutorial thank you for that , Im guessing though with this system . When you go into High speed sync , you are automatically out of TTL and in manually ? You cant still use TTL And HS sync together ?

[@allentay]

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.

[@allentay]

My camera is a Nikon D5300

[@davidcarrico3385]

I don't have a D5300 or a YN685. From reading about the YN685, I believe it has the 622N receiver built in but not the transmitter. With that said, you could put it on top of a 622N on camera and use the display on the YN685 to control your groups, power, etc. That would mean you would need two YN622Ns but not need a 622N-TX in that case. You could also use the SB700 in the same way (on camera on top of a YN622) and then the YN685 could be your remote, and since it has a 622N receiver built in, you wouldn't need a second YN622. Even though you wouldn't need the TX in the configuration you describe, it would still be a good purchase since you could use both flashes remote with the TX on your camera for added flexibility. Hope that helps and sorry I can't tell you more definitively since I have never handled the 685.
