OK, thanks for the overview, impressive device.

I use the 603C set up as well as the 622 (sans the 'TX' transmitter). So from just the perspective of the shutter release aspect, not the flash capabilities, does the 605 shutter release have the ability to lock in place without the photog holding down the button throughout the exposure? Most cable release cords as most here are probably aware, offer this option, freeing up the photographer. I use my 603, mainly for remote shutter releases and the 622s for my flash set ups.

GREAT !
If I use the rf-605 on camera, and put a nikon flash (sb-800/sb900) on top, Will the red focus grid work ?
Thanks again !

hello, i am trying to use RF650N with my YN560III and Nikon D3s...no luck, i don't get this, it should be dead simple, is there any other videos I could watch?more details showing exactly the whole set up? I am pretty positive I am setting it up correctly...please help! :-(

Hi, I had my yongnuo RF605C triggers for a year or so and they were working just find but now they lost synk, I get that black bar on top of my images and they are full power no matter what I change on my flash, I haven't been able to correct that, any tips?

[sayemhoque]

thank you sir, this was very helpful.

[itzcoatlarte]

can you use this set up while using canon speedlite's 580 ex-rt and 600 ex-rt? on a canon 7d?

[SheriJohnsonPhoto]

awesome video, I found the info very helpful

[azrv-vq]

I have a Nikon D5300 and also a Flash Yongnuo YN568EX, I need Shoot the flash wirelessly (No matter lose TTL Function) If I buy a RF-605-N and a RF 603 Will work?

[ratheeshnair]

Thank you for the wonderful review. Could you please let me know if this would work with nikon D750 and SB 700flash. I may also plan to YN-568EX flash, would it work iwith it too?

[LaughingLionEver]

That second cable is not for a studio strobe rather it is for the d3000-5000.7000 cameras.

[yhangsarento]

is it compatible to nikon flash sb 900 and yungnuo 560...i will use both flash at a time. and my camera is nikon d7100.

Thank for the info in this video, good info.  I own a Nikon D5300 and Yongnuo YN-568EX.  I'm trying to improve my off-camera flash photography.  What are my options for fully controlling my off-camera flash?  YN560-TX or maybe a YN622N-TX?  
Thanks again, Richard

Thank you, good video. Will the remote shutter release work on camera's video mode? Thank you for any comment about this.

[sargeek]

The biggest thing for me about these 605's (as a Canon user) is that these can work both on my 5D and 60D, whereas with the previous 603's I would need a different set for each camera.

muy buen video! me ayudó a elegir este modelo! gracias

[kbqvist]

Thanks for the review! I know I'm late to the discussion, but I actually found the idea that one can trigger two cameras + flashes remotely very interesting, as I'm trying to set up a system to do 3-D/stereo portraits (requiring two cameras) with artificial light. So obviously the cameras and flashes need to be synched well enough for both cameras to get the full benefit of the flashes.
So, if you remember your experience with this system, do you think that would work? Of course, if you are aware of other, more recent product that could solve the problem, I would very much appreciate to learn about that too :-)
And lastly, is there any need for the transceivers used to control camera firing to be mounted in the hotshoe?

[iandavies]

Hey mate,
 thanks for the review - very comprehensive.
 I'm fairly new to the whole photography world but have been collecting a number of items to start with and have 2 YN560 III's, and 3 YN568's (2 on their way in mail.) I also have bought the YN-560TX ubt not yt explored all it's functionality.
 I have a Nikon D5300. My question is will the YN560TX operate the power levels of the 568's as well as the 560's?

The reason I ask is that Yongnuo just released a YN 568EX II (for Canon only) with a Master control and the Nikon version is yet to be released - therefore it seems to me that the above YN560TX together with the YN605 triggers give me the master control anyway - but still without the iTTL capability (I can live without that for the moment - as I've spent too much money on speedlites as it is!

cheers and thanks again for the review,

Ian

I found very interesting this function of being able to turn on and off groups quickly. I've been trying to figure out how to do this with my 560-TX and I haven't been able to do this so far. In other words, say you have two 560s in group A and two in group B at an event. And you're firing either group A or group B. And in some shots you want to far both groups, can you do it with the 560-TX? But if you have this on your hotshoe, you can, correct?

[coolkeem]

Would these work with a Nikon D610? I want to invest in these! Great video

[DanFlint]

Can it trigger via the pc terminal only, or does it have to be mounted in a hotshoe to trigger other receivers? 
I have some film cameras that have only pc terminals (nikon F3, Zeiss ikon, ect) and would like a trigger that can fire just from the pc terminals.
