Yongnuo YN-622N-TX Wireless Flash Commander Overview

See a more detailed video on the TX unit here:
Here is a quick look at the Yongnuo YN-622N-TX commander unit. I just received it today as of this video's upload date (1/31/2014). Back then, the triggers had a lot of versatility compared to other options. The easy and quick ability to control flash power and groupings especially. Not to mention the added features such as super sync and the ability to update firmware over the 622N transceivers. As of 2018, I'd suggest looking into the Godox X system instead. It has more flexibility and covers everything from studio strobes to simple manual speedlites.

One thing about it that I really like is that if you connect a pc cable from the Commander to your camera, and happen to pick up an extra transceiver, you can use that transceiver as a wireless remote shutter release. If your camera supports the ML-3 like my D70, well and good. But when I picked up a D300s, the Nikon solution became much more expensive. Using the Yongnuo made it both inexpensive and easy.

beside all the high speed sync and flash control does it also work as remote for camera ??

[rickkremer]

i read somewhere that the 55 is the High speed sync. I haven't tried it yet. Just ordered mine today

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?
Channel 1, Group A on both Controller, transceiver, flash and camera. When depressing the shutter release on the camera the lights flash on the transceiver...but NO flash.
Settings on the Controller are NOT showing up on the flash when I make a change. Help please. Thanks, Dave

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?

+Photography Banzai will a Yongnuo YN-622N-TX Wireless Flash Commander fire a YN 560III flash unit and allow me to adjust its power. Will it need a YongNuo YN-622N to do this.

[ThienVNguyen]

is there a quick way to turn off a group? For example i have group a and b . If i want to quickly switch off a to use b only how would i do that

Hi, some time ago acquired a DEBAO SU-800, but to get about 20 shots have to let it rest, with YN622 TX, you have some limit of shots or you can use it all night. greetings

[kazuse]

Is the max number of flashes 3 or could I sync like 8 YN-568 using one YN-622? and if not, could I sync several YN-568 using TT5s? Due to water issues, I'm down to one 480EX unit.

I have 2 D200 bodies. I have tried the YN622N-TX on both of them but either camera will not fire. If I put a YN622N on either body and another on a SB400 or SB800 they work fine. I have checked the firmware version on the YN622N-TX and it shows the latest 1.3 version. I know it's early days with this trigger, but am i missing something, ?.

[lukcrys]

Hey there,  
 if you have this i-ttl trigger you don't need a HSS flash to have a flash speed up to 1/4000 or 1/8000 ?
Please confirm :)

As these initials BL appeared at the top of tx?

[tommy]

I have three SB600s and they all work in TTL and manual modes, or a combination of TTL and manual over the three channels. I can also zoom the flash heads and have each flash zoomed to a different setting in one exposure. I am using firmware V 1.03 at the moment.

[kelani.k.karunarathna]

how Nikon sb800 flash, control to YN-622N-TX, SB800 display is not the changing, Y ?

[remusmoise]

Hi there!
I´m using something similar, the pixel king RX.
The thing is, with the transmitter I can control any of my remote flashes from the camera menu(Cano 450D, 600D and 5DMKII), swith from manual to ett-l, ratios etc.

best all,
Remus

Nice review!
Currently my setup is with it on top of my D610 and the YN-622N supposed to trigger a SB-910 (AF assist ON and set to TTL). Obtaining just a preflash when shooting, any hints to make it to work properly?

[MADMICKMIDDLESBROUGH]

Cheers for posting this video its been a great help.... Thank You :-)

Hi do i need to change power in Manual mode on both Transmitter and on flash as well as when I was trying I was change power on transmitter in Manual mode, but it dint changed the power Flash, and I have to change power manually on the flash separately.

[tommy]

Update.
I have had a chance to play around with these triggers a bit. I can confirm that they work with my SB600s and my SB800, or a combination of them on the three channels. They work in TTL and manual modes. However I have to have both of my D200s set on continuous-servo focus for the cameras to fire. If I have them on single-servo focus they really struggle to focus at all. I don't know why, ?. Anyone have any ideas.

[TheDhillonjagjit]

my d610 seems to be not able to focus with these, Do I need to keep transmitter and receivers both in TTL or just receivers in TTL and transmitter on manual? Thanks in advance,
