YONGNUORF-603 II RF603 II 603II Wireless Flash Trigger/Remote N3 (2nd generation of YONGNUO RF-603 N3)

Years ago I had a set of Yongnuo RF-602 triggers, which were some of the most popular radio triggers back in the day. Those were very reliable, and I don't recall ever having a misfire. These are the same in terms of reliability, but they fixed all of the RF602's problems. The RF602s had a separate transmitter/receiver, whereas on these, a single unit can act as either a transmitter or a receiver simply by flipping a switch. Speaking of the switch, the power switch is conveniently located on the side of the RF603IIs, whereas on the RF602 they were located on top and would be blocked if you had a flash in the hot-shoe of the triggers. Even the remote control cables are easier to attach on the RF603IIs. On the old RF602s you had to screw one end of the cable into the trigger, whereas on the 603IIs it's a simple matter of plugging in a 2.5mm jack. The RF602 required different battery sizes for the transmitter and receiver, and I'm glad to see that Yongnuo has gone with standardized AAA batteries on the RF603IIs.Lastly (and perhaps most importantly), the RF603IIs have a metal hot-shoe, which really increases durability compared to the flimsy plastic shoe found on the 602. The 603IIs also have a locking wheel on the hot-shoe, which was a big omission from the RF602.*The 603s also allow you to mount a flash on top of the transceiver while the transceiver is mounted to a camera, and will pass through a firing signal to the flash. However, the pass-through is a simple "dumb" firing signal, and these triggers will not pass through Canon E-TTL or Nikon i-TTL signals. For that, you're going to have to spend a lot more than $30 ;)

I use these as an backup to my PocketWizards. They work well however, they do tend to go through a pair of batteries much faster. Be sure to have spare power on hand! You don't really know that the batteries are losing power. The things just stop working and you are left messing with the cord to see what the problem is.

I got these after doing some research and hearing they might work with my Sony A6000.Also purchased the Yongnuo YN560 IV flash. This setup was a fraction of what it would cost to buy any of the name brand flash/triggers.When I first got it it was frustrating as it wasn't clear what I needed to do to get these to work on the Sony.First thing is to get the trigger and flash to communicate. They both need to be on the same channel, same group, in TX mode. Since I was already pairing it with the Yongnuo flash this website http://www.davidpartington.com/m43/2015/01/03/yongnuo-yn560-iv-speedlite-review/ and this video review https://youtu.be/C-VukG3Cw9M gives a much better way to see how to set up the flash as the manual wasn't much help. Once the trigger and flash are communicating now you need to get the trigger on the camera.I read that the hot shoe would need to have the black paint removed in order for it to work. This was false as the paint has nothing to do with it working or not.The pins on the triggers have to make a good contact with the hot shoe. What I found is that once you put the trigger on the camera the pins where not making contact. This is the key thing put some pressure down on the trigger pushing into the hot shoe. Take a test photo while holding the trigger. It should fire and once it does lock down the trigger via the wheel lock.That is it...it just needed to have the pins make good contact before locking down. These also work for my Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000. I highly recommend these to use as triggers to control slave flashes. Very cheap alternative when comparing to big name brand components.

My second experience with the brand, I bought them for to work with my D7100 and a YN 560III and a SB 700 as remote lights, and definitively they do the work perfect. One on the hotshoe, another on the YN560 III and other more on the SB 700, all the three RF603 II N3 on TRX mode.My only complaint is about the build quality, one of the triggers come with a missing screw, for a brand new item I think it's no good, it works fine, but if you're buying something NEW, you're expecting it comes with all the parts.

I am just a hobbyist and got these so i could start down the road of off-camera flash without relying on the camera's flash to act as the trigger. I recently took these out to make sure they worked. ordering was easy, shipment arrived in the expected time frame, and arrived in good condition. i am using this on my Nikon D3200. the package included the transceivers and the cable to be used with the camera to act as a wireless shutter release. i haven't tried that portion yet, but the lights operated exactly as the older YouTube videos say. the triggers worked great for my very limited tests. it was in a normal family room/lounge so no extreme distance testing done. i kept the shutter speed at 1/160th (D3200 sync speed is 200) just in case the radio signal was a little slow (from a tip i heard); always fired.it seems Yongnuo were listening to customer feedback because the two gripes i always ran across in reviews were corrected - no more switches on the top so you can't get to them with the flash on (it's on the side now), and, there is a lock to keep it in the hot/cold shoe.i like them so far and look forward to shooting with them more!

Para ser un equipo de bajo costo su calidad es excelente... Sirve para sicronizar un montón de equipos de diferente marca..

LOVE the locking foot on the new version of these. DON'T like the new switch. While it's great that you can turn the trigger on when it's mounted to a flash hotshoe now, it also has the unfortunate side effect of being VERY easy to accidentally turn the triggers on! I have multiple times pulled the triggers out of my bag to find they're in the On position and totally dead.

Funcionando perfectamente, no tienen rival en cuanto a calidad precio; estudio diferentes cursos de fotogreafía, y en todos ellos encuentro alumnos que los tienen y están contentos, por su longitud de transmisión y buen funcionamiento, sorteando obstáculos de cualquier material.Han mejorado respecto a los anteriores modelos, pues el botón de encendido es lateral y cómodo de activar y desactivar, además de la rueda que han añadido para enganchar de manera más segura al flash o a la cámara, tanto que si se aprietan fuerte, habrá que abrila después con unos alicates.También pueden usarse como control remoto; por ejemplo, dejando la cámara en el trípode y yendo yo a manejar el flash de mano, al activarlo desde fuera, enfocará y disparará la cámara, francamente práctico.

Il trigger funziona perfettamente per comandare a distanza un flash di qualsiasi marca e modello. Inoltre ciascuno dei due trasmettitori/ricevitori puo' comandare a distanza 1 o più flash Yongnuo YN560 direttamente cioè senza attaccargli alcun ricevitore. Anche se questo modello è per NIKON funziona perfettamente anche su fotocamere PENTAX (io lo uso con la K5). Il trigger YN RF-603 può anche essere usato come radiocomando per lo scatto remoto della fotocamera collegando uno dei due alla fotocamera tramite il cavetto incluso e tenendo l'altro in mano come telecomando. In questo caso pero' per chi usa PENTAX è necessario sostituire il cavetto perchè quello incluso è solo per NiKON. In realtà per PENTAX serve il cavetto che è anche usato da CANON con il pin da 2,5 da ogni lato del cavo. Questo è incluso nel YN RF-603 -C3, cioè il modello per Canon, che pero' non comunica bene con le macchine Pentax. Quindi chi ha Pentax deve comprare il trigger per Nikon e comprare a parte un cavetto di scatto per Canon ... da altro venditore perche su Amazon non si trova. Comunque io sapevo tutto questo per averlo letto in vari forum quindi nessuna sorpresa. A parte il problema del cavetto il prodotto è eccellente e lo consiglio a chiunque voglia allestire un piccolo studio con più flash ad un costo ragionevole utilizzando i vecchi flash che già ha in casa.

Zielsetzung:Entfesseltes Blitzen mit einer Nikon D5300 und zwei Yongnuo 560 Mark III Blitzgeräten.Die beiden YN-603 machen einen guten Eindruck, einfacher Kunststoff, aber durchaus wertig verarbeitet. Die Anleitung ist nur auf Englisch und Chinesisch, aber das ist aus meiner Sicht keinen ganzen Punkt Abzug wert, denn die Bedienung gestaltet sich sowieso sehr einfach.Einen RF603NII habe ich auf dem Blitzschuh der Kamera montiert, und mit dem beigelegten Auslösekabel mit der Zubehörbuchse der Kamera verbunden. Den anderen RF603NII benutze ich als Fernauslöser. Da die beiden YN-560 Mark III bereits einen Empfänger integriert haben, werden keine weiteren RF603NII benötigt. Dieser Aufbau funktioniert einfach klasse! Drückt man den Knopf des als Fernauslöser benutzten RF603NII zur Hälfte (deutlich spürbarer Widerstand), dann fokusiert die Kamera, drückt man ganz durch, lösen sowohl Kamera als auch Blitze aus. Ganz genau so, wie es sein sollte.Bei vielen Testfotos in den letzten Tagen hatte ich nur sehr wenige Fehlauslösungen, aber das war dann meine eigene Schuld - man sollte schon Abwarten, bis die Blitze wieder bereit sind ... ;-)Mein Fazit:Very empfehlenswert, würde ich sofort wieder kaufen.
