Joe, this video is a lifesaver. I had glanced at it before, but missed the snake eyes part and did teo events where i had to switch to M and only use bounce flash to make the pictures work. Thanks a million, i did a few free events in anticipation of a paid gig and now I can walk in with confidence knowing how to fire these hush puppies. I had made the assumption that the on camera flash was "A" and kept on trying to figure out why my fill flash was not giving the results i had on M. If it wasnt for you i was planing to use my TX and hold my flash with my left and shoot on my right. That would have been a drag! Thanks , again Joe!

First of all, I like this video. It is clear and easy to understand. I'm new to speedlite. What is the purpose of 'zoom' function in this flash?

The zoom function just helps focus the light down to a more narrow beam to reach further. Hope this helps.

It should be compatible. Normally most all their stuff works together to a point. That said the 603's are basic triggers and none of the TTL information, HSS or power control information will be transmitter through them. Hope this helps.

I recently purchased 4 YN660s and a 560TX. I set the 4 660s off camera on stands. All same channel/group. A set in RX mode and linked. They respond from the 560tx on camera adjusting the zoom or flash intensity. However when firing, only 1 or 2 fire with no consistency. Any suggestions for settings to make all 4 fire each try?

Hi Joe, I've just bought a yn660. In Tx mode I can manage my yn560 III, but in this case when I take a picture only the yn560 III triggers through my yn660. Both trigger if I set the yn660 in Rx mode but then I cannot set remotely my yn560 III. Can I have both: setting remotely my yn560 III and getting both triggered ? both are in same channel and group and I trigger with the RF-603 on my camera thanks

Hi Joe, I haven't had a flash before still new to photography. So for my first flash, would you recommend the Yongnuo YN660??. Thanks for your help.
@JoeJacksonJr7 жыл бұрын
Hey Mark, I will say yes. I do recommend it. However, keep in mind this is a fully manual flash. You will have to control the power output. Its not recommended for run and gun shooting as exposure is always changing. So if you are looking to get a flash that you can just put on your camera and let it work out the exposure. Then this flash is not for you. The YN685 is very close to this flash and has ETTL metering and is only about $30 USD more. amzn.to/2jijdOl Hope this helps.

X sync on DSLRs vary. But normally using a shutter speed of 1/200th should work on %90 of the cameras out there. The 80D can go as high as 1/250th shutter speed. Hope this helps.

They really small speedlite softboxes. They mostly just good for a diffuser. That fit pretty much all normal flashes.
