Thank you for the information! I don't think TTL is always reliable and I always like to set my flashes to Manual, so this Yongnuo is perfect! Thanks again!
Hi Bruno, the 560III works for both Nikon and Canon but to trigger the 560III we use Yongnuo RF-603 transceivers. So you mount one transceiver on the hotshoe and then the 560III's built in transceiver will pickup the signal fire. You can check out the video we did on this. The video shows firing sb600's but they'll fire the 560III for sure. Good Luck!
I was looking for a tutorial that would show me how to use the light, not a tutorial that uses half the video talking about delivery, boxes, how the thing twists, and a lady named Grace. Please, a little more conciseness, get right to the info.
The yn 560EX is a TTL (optical) remote slave flash with a manual mode only when placed on the hot shoe. That means as you have discovered it will fire in manual mode only from the hotshoe but the only way it works in TTL is when it's off the camera as a slave unit. Optically triggered ttl means it fires when it sees the signal from your main flash on the camera. Hope that helps.
In my humble opinion whether you shoot ttl or manual the most important thing is to get your flash off the camera. This will give you the best and most creative results. Manual is cheaper to start but if you don't want to worry about settings then go ttl and the camera will do the work for you. Hope that helps.
No, it's not designed for on camera use. It's designed to be triggered by a YN-602 or 603 radio trigger, however, it will also trigger from your camera's pop-up flash if it's in S1 or S2 mode which is essentially infrared triggering.
YN-560 III is the best choice in my humble opinion as it has the radio trigger built in. You will need to purchase a set of 603's triggers to fire the 560 but in the long run I think you'll find it's well worth it. Good luck!
Basically, you set your camera and master on-cam flash to TTL and the camera/meter will do the rest. The TTL slave simply copies whatever the master does. You may be able to vary the output of the 560ex in ttl mode, I don't know as I don't have that flash. Keep in mind because your slave is triggered by infrared if you try it outdoors it may not work due to the signal getting interrupted by sunlight etc. Works best in doors/studio for sure. Hang in there, it gets easier.
The really cool thing with the 603's is that they come with a shutter release cable that you can plug into your camera and use another 603 to fire your camera remotely, like when you're doing self portraits.
Unfortunately no, but the 560 III is a strictly manual flash with a built in receiver for the YN-603's while the 568 ex is yongnuo's new top of the line ttl speedlite. We may have a 568 shortly and if so we'll gladly do a review for you.
HI again Bruno. I confirmed that the 560 ex doesn't have a radio trigger built in so if you do more studio work in TTL then the 560ex is fine but if you venture out doors more, I would go for the 560III. Also the 560ex can be triggered by RF-603's or 602's but there's no ttl pass through. Cheers.
We're using the 560III which is an all manual slave on a Nikon D200 so you have to have a 603 trigger to send the signal to the 560III to fire it. Without that she won't fire. Cheers
i got one of these for 40 quid from amazon.best value for money for photos.the quality of your pics will change instantly.i have it on canon 60d.get one bought
For those interested, the RX -- mode on the YN-560III is used when multiple speed lights are being used but you wish to stop one from firing without turning the speed light completely off. Simply hit the mode button and switch to the " -- " mode and that speed light won't fire. Hope this helps!
You can not control the 560III from the menu system on your camera if that's what you mean. You have to change the power output manually on the back of the speedlite even if the speedlite is mounted on your camera. Hope that helps.
It could only trigger it by the S1 & S2 modes which is to say that when the 580 exii fires the infrared sensor on the 560III will see it and fire, provided the 560III is set to s1 or s2 mode, otherwise no but check with YN to be totally sure as I don't own a 580 exII. Cheers
Again, the best advice I can give you is the YN-560III for the reasons I mentioned but if you are more comfortable with TTL then stick with the 560ex and experiment with it. If you find it works for you, then it's all good. Photography is like anything else, it requires a certain amount of trial and error. What ever you decide, make sure to have some fun with it.
Thank you for the info! I thought because this YN flashes came with integrated radio transmitters they could be triggered by the 580 EX II. I'll check with the company, thank you again! :)
In my opinion the 560III is a little better due to it's radio control. The second you try to use infrared(560ex) outdoors in low light the flash doesn't fire consistently. However, the 560III is for manual slave use only but it can also be triggered by infrared if needed in S1 or S2 modes. It really depends if you prefer TTL or manual flash work.
Hi Jay, not that I know of but when you set the speedlight to your 603's just take notice to see if the dip switch settings match the settings on your triggers. On mine the 560 picked up the dip switch settings automatically.
When using the focus point during a dark situation the laser bean built in the the speedlight beams out and points to the subject, just like the focus point, in order to get a correct focus shoot. Which I understand. Now when I'm using the wireless trigger during dark situation the laser bean built in the speedlight beams out not toward the subject only the focus point. I still do get a correct focus shot but want to know why it does that when using wireless triggers.
I already bought two lumopro lp180 flashes. Twice as much but a huge difference in quality and performance. Now am getting the Phottix Mitros TTL Flash. It's better then the neewer version and cheaper. Then again, I'll see in two weeks if it goes bad on me. LOL
The NPT--4 trigger will work fine - I love the NPT-4 as the transmitter is so small and low - I use it a lot on my mirror less cameras NEX7, Olympus OMD-5, Fuji X100s, Fuji X20,Sony HX50v, Sony NEX5n and Lumix GX1. I have also quite a few flashes including the yn-560 ii and iii - and it triggers everything fine
No, if you mean a regular flash that you mount on your camera and does ttl then you would opt for the 568ex-c for canon. You can mount this on your camera and use it to control other speedlites. It's cheaper than buying a comparable Canon speedlite. Much cheaper!
Ok, mount an RF-603 on your camera and turn it on. Your 560III will then be triggered when you press the shutter on your camera. Set you camera's flash settings to manual and not ttl. You can press the button on the 603 to test fire the flash but mostly you'll just fire it with the shutter release on your camera.
I did not mount flashes on a camera the 430 was in ettl mode and 560 was in s1 and they both fire. Nothing happens when I use s2. Your video says use s2. That's what I was commenting on.
I just received this product in the mail for use with my Nikon D3100. Why is it not triggering my my camera?! Is there a certain setting I should have it in for it to work normally? I have been using a Metz 50AF-1 and have never had this problem before.
OK so what I learned about this unit as a complete novice is that: A. It will not work direct on camera (Canon 700D) like a typical primary/master flash B. You can use it without triggers whilst using the built-in primary flash on my camera by putting the Yongnue in S1 mode and if fires simultaneously (thats why the base rotates to pick up the primary flash going off if needed) C. If you use a remote trigger I'm guessing the trigger sits on the camera and the Yongnue can sit on to of that (correct me if I'm wrong on C but just ordered a set of 603's) or just use another tripod.
Hi Neil, you're on the right track. This 560III is designed primarily as a remote manual flash. That is, you place it somewhere off camera and fire it with a 603c radio trigger but better yet you can have total control using the Yn-560-tx, check our video for full details. It will work in s1 or s2 mode (s2 is better usually). Hope this helps? Paul
Sure, you could mount a 603 on you camera with the remote cable connected and mount a 560III on top of the 603 and use another 603 to fire both the camera and the speed light but the light output would be whatever the speed light is set to. There would be no TTL whatsoever as the 560III is not a TTL flash. You would have to adjust your light output manually for every shot which is fine but it's just usually done with the speed light off camera for better light quality. Cheers
wow...that sucks ...been using mine tons and no probs yet !did you use them at full power all the time ...i use mine at about 1/4 most of the time or 1/8
I got these numbers for the 560 so the 560III might be a little quicker. full power 1/1 = 1/313, 1/2 = 1/1359, 1/4 = 1/2809, 1/8 = 1/4950, 1/16 = 1/8065, 1/32 =1/12626, 1/64 = 1/18248, 1/128 = 1/23041 I'll put the link where I got these specs in the video description. Hope that helps!
You should actually be asking if the YN-603c triggers are compatible with your 60D and they are so you are good to go. The 603's will fire the 560III's.
can you help me with my problem with this flash. I got it stocked for almost two months and when i opened it. its already unresponsive. only the "FN" and "CH" button are responsive but you can't modify it.
I have a Canon 430 ex ii and the Yongnuo 560 iii. I put the 430 in ETTL mode and the Yongnuo on S1 to get both to fire. They do not fire on S2 as the video says. Am I doing something wrong?
Take a look at our "Product Photography Video." The first couple images in the video were shot with the 560III triggered by a 603 and a simple shoot through umbrella. This speedlite works great, the only issue I've ever had is that the wide angle diffuser is very delicate and I broke one fairly easily but aside from that don't hesitate to purchase the 560III you can't beat it for the price. Cheers
Do they ? I thought that was on other serie than 560, is that new on 560 v3 ? thanks for your review.. I own 2 YN560 v2 and I'm HAPPY, I would like a couple more :)
I recently bought the Canon 6D and the and the Yongnu 560 iii speedlite the one with "grp" written between "fn" and "ch" but the thing is, when i take a picture it doesn't flash. batteries are ok, when i press the "pilot" button, it flashes. what do i do wrong? maybe you can tell me? Thanks in advance, Philip Sajet
Thank you for comment. But 560 III is not a TTL flash where 560 EX is. I have not used an external flash and this is going to be my first one. So, I do not exactly know how useful TTL feature is.
Before you send it back, contact Yongnuo thru their website customers service link. They'll respond within 24hrs. Give them the specs on the speedlight, triggers and your camera and see if there's some little tweak that might resolve this issue. It's worth a try.
i also have studio strobes and studio strobes with battery packs ...but these for speed lights are my go to lights when i do senior portraits outside when im shooting alone ,i also use there wireless triggers i got for 35$ a pair/2 pairs plus my pocket wizards..had a bit of trouble with the little triggers near a radio station ,thats why i had to get wizards ,i was working in a model agency in Montreal so i had no choice
I find that it takes two to three weeks for equipment ordered from Amazon to arrive because most of the equipment is shipped from China. So save some money and order directly from a Chinese company for a lot less money.
yeah. it's a canon. Their website says it can be triggered by canon 7D. I just found this on their description of 560EX: "one cannot use TTL if mounted on camera or with an additional radio flash trigger". So, why is it called TTL when the flash output cannot be set automatically? I do not see the point of getting this flash instead of the 560 III.
Are you referring to Canon or Nikon and if Nikon what settings. On my D200's in manual shooting mode and manual on the lcd my 560 III won't fire but does fire using the 603s. Many thanks for connecting.
No, it's very easy. The 560III reads the code from the 603's so you don't even have to change any settings on the speed light. No worries, it's very straight forward.
V1 & V2 is virtually the same, both modes are triggered by infrared on most flashes so no real diff there. This speedlite (560III) has the radio trigger built in which is more convenient and less parts plus you don't need an extra 603 to trigger it just one 603 on the camera and that's it. It's the only way to go IMHO!
Thanks for your help. In off-camera slave mode: 1) shouldn't I be able to set the flash settings from the camera menu? 2) Shouldn't the camera set the flash output automatically based on readings from the light meter ?
being that you haven't used an external flash. The 560ex would be better for you. in the sense that it will set the flash output for you. where as the 560iii is all manual. you will constantly have to change your settings.
Hi, I just watch your review and I would like to know some little things, I've already a Nikon D5100 with a Nikon TTL SB700, but I'm looking to buy two more flash for my own little studio, I have a DEBAO SB-800 wich is compatible with Yongnuo flash, so do you thing is should work?
I've never used the Debao so I really can't say. I would try to find a review that shows the debao working with yongnuo speed lights so you know for sure. Sorry I couldn't be more help.
No, very sorry I'm not a Canon user and I don't have any experience with the 560ex I'm afraid. I would try emailing YN customer service to see if they can help.
I would have liked to see some use of the flash, or at least sample photos as part of the review. At this stage, it seems like everyone has reviewed it out of box without using it!
Yn-568 might be cheaper than 430 ex. Also, your 560III can be triggered by you popup flash on your canon if you put the 560III in s1 or s2 mode. S2 would be better.
Is there any big difference between v1, v2 and v3 of this flash? Is it worth spending the extra money for the newest one? I am new to studio photography so I don't have a clue about flashes...
I bought yn-560iii a few days ago. But I got some problem. I connected flash with my DSLR(nikon D90) But flash didn't work. So, I don't know which is the problem. I think it's just connection problem. How can I check this situation?? I don't have trigger.
7D is a cannon correct? Are you sure you have the right model for your camera. being that the 560 is an older model. i'm not sure how it works. The 565, I just place it on top of my camera, turn it on, then the camera and it works
Hi! Thanks for the info. I just ordered 3 of these babies from the site you mentioned. I'd like to use them ON camera casually, and I haven't found any information about AF ASSIST BEAM. Does it have one? Thanks Again. Cheers.
I did as well and all died in 3 weeks. Worst experience ever with YN CS too. I was thankful I bought them from Amazon and was able to return them for a full refund. My
Hi, could you help me with an issue? I am using one YN560-TX Flash Transmitter and two YN-560 III , when i sync the two flashes with the transmitter, one of the flashes doesnt enable the controls, just fires with the others. Functions like group change and output amount arent controllable by the transmitter. Am I doing something wrong?
The 560tx uses groups and channels. It sounds like you have both 560's on the same group and same channel. Put one 560 on group a and the other on group b. That should solve your problem.
NO! You cannot use lithuam (LI-ION) batteries at all with this flash however, you can use rechargeable Nicad or nickel-metal hydride batteries only. I just bought this flash. Other than not being able to use LI-ON, I love this flash. Mine has the TTL feature. I Give this flash 5 stars. Even though I paid $150 for my flash, it's been well worth it.
Hypothetically: If I have 4 YN560III's set up, (one on my hotshoe, three setup around my subject) can I use the YN560III on my hotshoe as a trigger to the other three? I know I can use the three as optical slaves, but I'd prefer a true wireless sync not an optical sync.
Hi Joshua, no, I'm using the 603 1's but I also use 605's and have no issues with either. Try emailing "thephotogadget.com" with your issue and see what advice they might offer. They been very helpful with me.
Joshua Goenner make sure you have 603 and not 602 in the function menu. (press mode button and the button to the left of that simultaneously) scroll through till you see the 602 and change it to 603
I just bought this flash and do not know what I need to do in order to get it synced. The camera I have is a Nikon D5200. Will someone please inform me on what additional gear I need or steps I need to take to get the two working together?
Hey, many thanks for connecting in. Will be buying another one myself.
Cheers.
Happy to help, it really is a great speed light!
Enjoy!
Thank you for the information! I don't think TTL is always reliable and I always like to set my flashes to Manual, so this Yongnuo is perfect! Thanks again!
Hi Bruno, the 560III works for both Nikon and Canon but to trigger the 560III we use Yongnuo RF-603 transceivers.

I was looking for a tutorial that would show me how to use the light, not a tutorial that uses half the video talking about delivery, boxes, how the thing twists, and a lady named Grace. Please, a little more conciseness, get right to the info.
Yes, the AF assist beam was one of the functions that did work perfectly on these units from day one!
Cheers.
My left ear loved this video.
LOL... I always have to pull the ear piece out just a tad to get the audio in both ears. Not sure the reason, but some videos are like that.
The yn 560EX is a TTL (optical) remote slave flash with a manual mode only when placed on the hot shoe. That means as you have discovered it will fire in manual mode only from the hotshoe but the only way it works in TTL is when it's off the camera as a slave unit.

Unfortunately no, but the 560 III is a strictly manual flash with a built in receiver for the YN-603's while the 568 ex is yongnuo's new top of the line ttl speedlite. We may have a 568 shortly and if so we'll gladly do a review for you.

i got one of these for 40 quid from amazon.best value for money for photos.the quality of your pics will change instantly.i have it on canon 60d.get one bought
For those interested, the RX -- mode on the YN-560III is used when multiple speed lights are being used but you wish to stop one from firing without turning the speed light completely off. Simply hit the mode button and switch to the " -- " mode and that speed light won't fire.
Hope this helps!

You can not control the 560III from the menu system on your camera if that's what you mean. You have to change the power output manually on the back of the speedlite even if the speedlite is mounted on your camera.

Hi Jay, not that I know of but when you set the speedlight to your 603's just take notice to see if the dip switch settings match the settings on your triggers. On mine the 560 picked up the dip switch settings automatically.

Not sure what you are talking about, we've had our 560 III for over a month now.
The NPT--4 trigger will work fine - I love the NPT-4 as the transmitter is so small and low - I use it a lot on my mirror less cameras NEX7, Olympus OMD-5, Fuji X100s, Fuji X20,Sony HX50v, Sony NEX5n and Lumix GX1.
I have also quite a few flashes including the yn-560 ii and iii - and it triggers everything fine
No, if you mean a regular flash that you mount on your camera and does ttl then you would opt for the 568ex-c for canon. You can mount this on your camera and use it to control other speedlites. It's cheaper than buying a comparable Canon speedlite. Much cheaper!
Ok, mount an RF-603 on your camera and turn it on. Your 560III will then be triggered when you press the shutter on your camera. Set you camera's flash settings to manual and not ttl. You can press the button on the 603 to test fire the flash but mostly you'll just fire it with the shutter release on your camera.
Great review. Will defiantly buy this when I get the money.
good morning. My Yongnuo YN560IV flash is charging up well but not firing when shutter release fired. what could be the problem.
That's great. They really are great value when you compare the prices of OEM speedlites.
Cheers

ta dude will it not sit on the camera with this in the middle then?
With what in the middle?
a 603 like is there a way to use the flash on the camera if so hows that done?
Sure, you could mount a 603 on you camera with the remote cable connected and mount a 560III on top of the 603 and use another 603 to fire both the camera and the speed light but the light output would be whatever the speed light is set to.

wow...that sucks ...been using mine tons and no probs yet !did you use them at full power all the time ...i use mine at about 1/4 most of the time or 1/8
I attached the YN560-iii on canon t4i hot shoe - but the canon can't seem to read YN-560 iii.
I think its normal coes it's not ttl?
as I feared, I looked up manual flash already but I think its going to be trial and error anyway.
Thank you for your reply.
I got these numbers for the 560 so the 560III might be a little quicker.

I thought that was on other serie than 560, is that new on 560 v3 ?
thanks for your review.. I own 2 YN560 v2 and I'm HAPPY, I would like a couple more :)
I recently bought the Canon 6D and the
and
the Yongnu 560 iii speedlite
the one with "grp" written between "fn" and "ch"
but the thing is,
when i take a picture it doesn't flash.
batteries are ok, when i press the "pilot" button, it flashes.
what do i do wrong? maybe you can tell me?
Thanks in advance, Philip Sajet
Thank you for comment. But 560 III is not a TTL flash where 560 EX is. I have not used an external flash and this is going to be my first one. So, I do not exactly know how useful TTL feature is.
Before you send it back, contact Yongnuo thru their website customers service link. They'll respond within 24hrs. Give them the specs on the speedlight, triggers and your camera and see if there's some little tweak that might resolve this issue. It's worth a try.
Thanks man. I'm really appreciated for information.
Yongnuo YN I bought unblit III-560 Speedlite and do not work on nikonD3100, why?
i also have studio strobes and studio strobes with battery packs ...but these for speed lights are my go to lights when i do senior portraits outside when im shooting alone ,i also use there wireless triggers i got for 35$ a pair/2 pairs plus my pocket wizards..had a bit of trouble with the little triggers near a radio station ,thats why i had to get wizards ,i was working in a model agency in Montreal so i had no choice
I find that it takes two to three weeks for equipment ordered from Amazon to arrive because most of the equipment is shipped from China. So save some money and order directly from a Chinese company for a lot less money.
yeah. it's a canon. Their website says it can be triggered by canon 7D. I just found this on their description of 560EX: "one cannot use TTL if mounted on camera or with an additional radio flash trigger". So, why is it called TTL when the flash output cannot be set automatically? I do not see the point of getting this flash instead of the 560 III.
Are you referring to Canon or Nikon and if Nikon what settings.
On my D200's in manual shooting mode and manual on the lcd my 560 III won't fire but does fire using the 603s.
Many thanks for connecting.
yes it will work with the 560 III has a radio reciver build in so I would go with that insted of the cowboy studio NTP04
No, it's very easy. The 560III reads the code from the 603's so you don't even have to change any settings on the speed light.
No worries, it's very straight forward.
I'm not a canon shooter but as far as I know there are compatible. I think Blue Martini Photo has a video on youtube using a 560 if I'm not mistaken.
V1 & V2 is virtually the same, both modes are triggered by infrared on most flashes so no real diff there. This speedlite (560III) has the radio trigger built in which is more convenient and less parts plus you don't need an extra 603 to trigger it just one 603 on the camera and that's it. It's the only way to go IMHO!
Thanks for your help. In off-camera slave mode: 1) shouldn't I be able to set the flash settings from the camera menu? 2) Shouldn't the camera set the flash output automatically based on readings from the light meter ?
Yes, absolutely!
being that you haven't used an external flash. The 560ex would be better for you. in the sense that it will set the flash output for you. where as the 560iii is all manual. you will constantly have to change your settings.
Hello.... Do you know what is the difference between YN-560II and YN-560III ??? ... and if the YN-560EX is better?
Good video, thanks.
Hi, I just watch your review and I would like to know some little things, I've already a Nikon D5100 with a Nikon TTL SB700, but I'm looking to buy two more flash for my own little studio, I have a DEBAO SB-800 wich is compatible with Yongnuo flash, so do you thing is should work?
I've never used the Debao so I really can't say. I would try to find a review that shows the debao working with yongnuo speed lights so you know for sure.
Sorry I couldn't be more help.
Yes, shipping was free!
No, very sorry I'm not a Canon user and I don't have any experience with the 560ex I'm afraid. I would try emailing YN customer service to see if they can help.
I would have liked to see some use of the flash, or at least sample photos as part of the review. At this stage, it seems like everyone has reviewed it out of box without using it!
Yn-568 might be cheaper than 430 ex. Also, your 560III can be triggered by you popup flash on your canon if you put the 560III in s1 or s2 mode. S2 would be better.
Is there any big difference between v1, v2 and v3 of this flash? Is it worth spending the extra money for the newest one? I am new to studio photography so I don't have a clue about flashes...
I bought yn-560iii a few days ago. But I got some problem.
I connected flash with my DSLR(nikon D90) But flash didn't work.
So, I don't know which is the problem.
I think it's just connection problem.
How can I check this situation??
I don't have trigger.
the camera and the flash must be both set to manual mode for the yn 560III to work with your D90
That's correct, the 560III is manual only.
Hi! Great video! One question, could the SPEEDLITE 580 EX II trigger this YN 560 III? 580 EX II been master and YN 560 III slave. Thanks!
7D is a cannon correct? Are you sure you have the right model for your camera. being that the 560 is an older model. i'm not sure how it works. The 565, I just place it on top of my camera, turn it on, then the camera and it works
i have used them on camera ..no issues but max shutter of 1/200 for my canon ...1/250 for nikon
Hi dude, Is it compatible for canon 1200d
Hi! Thanks for the info. I just ordered 3 of these babies from the site you mentioned. I'd like to use them ON camera casually, and I haven't found any information about AF ASSIST BEAM. Does it have one? Thanks Again. Cheers.
I did as well and all died in 3 weeks. Worst experience ever with YN CS too. I was thankful I bought them from Amazon and was able to return them for a full refund.
My
Im getting this for my pentax k30 , awsome reveiw
Hi, could you help me with an issue? I am using one YN560-TX Flash Transmitter and two YN-560 III , when i sync the two flashes with the transmitter, one of the flashes doesnt enable the controls, just fires with the others. Functions like group change and output amount arent controllable by the transmitter. Am I doing something wrong?
The 560tx uses groups and channels. It sounds like you have both 560's on the same group and same channel. Put one 560 on group a and the other on group b. That should solve your problem.
I'm using a nikon d3300 do i need the transmitters for it to work??. Because it's not the on camera flash keeps trying to pop up
Do they what? Not sure what you're asking about?
I think you should have spent more time talking about the packaging it came in. I found it fascinating to see that brown cardboard box.
Hi... the 560III works for both Nikon and for Canon right?... Some sellers advertised for Nikon and for Canon separately, i don't know why.
thanks
NO! You cannot use lithuam (LI-ION) batteries at all with this flash however, you can use rechargeable Nicad or nickel-metal hydride batteries only. I just bought this flash. Other than not being able to use LI-ON, I love this flash. Mine has the TTL feature. I Give this flash 5 stars. Even though I paid $150 for my flash, it's been well worth it.
Hi, this is a great review! Can this flash be compatible with my Canon 60D?
SO IF I WANT SOMETHING TO USE AS A REGULAR FLASH, THE BETTER CHOICE WOULD BE THE YN-506 II??
I bought both a 560 III and 622C's and could not get them to work. Ended up returning the 622's and got some 603's. Really weird!
Can one RF-603 fire two separate YN-560 III flashes, or do I need to have an RF-603 on each flash, and one on the hot shoe of my camera?
Hello, thank you for review. Will it works with Yongnuo YN-622C YN 622C ? thank you
Hypothetically: If I have 4 YN560III's set up, (one on my hotshoe, three setup around my subject) can I use the YN560III on my hotshoe as a trigger to the other three? I know I can use the three as optical slaves, but I'd prefer a true wireless sync not an optical sync.
do you know how can I trigger the yn560 iii and the yn560 ii together with one camera body (obviously) and one cowboy trigger?
Hi Karla, not sure what you mean by "cowboy trigger?"
it needs just one YN-602 or YN-603 on the camera, am i right?
Because it says on amazon, that it has a wireless trigger built in, right?
I have RF603C's. I cannot get the 603C to connect directly to the YN560III. I have the channels matched. Are you using the 603 II?
Hi Joshua, no, I'm using the 603 1's but I also use 605's and have no issues with either. Try emailing "thephotogadget.com" with your issue and see what advice they might offer. They been very helpful with me.
Joshua Goenner
I have same problem! Do you resolve problem?
No. They are not compatible. There is a new version that will work. I have to buy them to test it out.
Joshua Goenner make sure you have 603 and not 602 in the function menu. (press mode button and the button to the left of that simultaneously) scroll through till you see the 602 and change it to 603
I just bought this flash and do not know what I need to do in order to get it synced. The camera I have is a Nikon D5200. Will someone please inform me on what additional gear I need or steps I need to take to get the two working together?
Hi did you manage ta get this flash to work on your D5200 please as I am thinking about buying one and I have a D5200 as well. Thanks
Hi, can i ask, will this works on on-camera also or it's only for off camera use.
can you do a review or comparison between this YongNuo 560 EX III and YongNuo 568EX (Canon mount)? thanks.
Have 3 triggers and 5 speedlites... All worked fine together out of a box. Must be sth wrong with the ones you have.
