Thanks for the video! I've got the flash and trigger linked up, but the flash won't fire with trigger on the hot shoe when I press the shutter button. Do I need to change a setting on the camera? I am using a Canon 6D Mark ii.
how good is the ST-E3-RT (ver. 2) triggers now? I've heard people saying that it disconnects from your speedlights randomly and the only other way to link them back is to turn of the trigger and speedlights and back on. Is that the case with them still now if i bought one or is that issue fixed?
I have one Canon Speedlite Transmitter ST-E3-RT and one off camera flash Canon Speedlite 600EX-RT. I want to buy 2 off camera flashes Yongnuo YN600EX-RT II Speedlite Flash Light. I want to know whether Canon Transmitter will communicate with all three off camera flashes(one canon and two Yongnuo) through Radio Signal. Could you please help me. Thanks
I had a hard time connecting my speedlight to my speedlight transmitter, I have the Canon 430EX III-RT speedlight and the ST-E3-RT speedlight transmitter, and this tutorial worked for my set up, I just had to convert for my flash.Thank you!
Hi, thanks a lot for your video which helped me but what about the focal length please ? When my Canon 600EX is on my Canon caméra, the focal length is moving on the flah the same as on my lense but with the STE3RT, il doesn't follow the focal length lense moves . Is it normal ?
Yes, you have your flash focal mode set to auto. You need to change it to manual. When you turn your speed light on, press the first button on the top left (under the "Zm/C.Fn" tab), then turn the dial clockwise until you cycle through all of the focal ranges to manual ("M"). On the screen where it displays the number your flash is zoomed to, to the left of that it should say "zoom" and beside that there should be a "A" (auto) or an "M" (manual). Hope this helps, and wasn't too complicated.
@@photographermugen ok think I understand. Does it mean that I will always have to set the focal manualy ? If yes, shall I set it the same than the lens focal ?
Thanks.. very informative. Can exposure compensation be adjusted from the camera menu or is it adjusted from the transmitter.. also if I had multiple speedlight can compensation be adjusted independently. Say if I wanted flash 1 to be brighter than flash 2 or Visa versa.. thanks
hey ! great video thanks man .... question for you ... have you ever experienced Link connectivity issues where everything seems to be set up correctly but the link light on the flash goes from green to red and will not fire unless you turn the flash off and back on ? I'm having this issue with a Phottix transmitter that I'm using with a Canon 600 ex-rt ii flash and I have no idea how to get it to stop doing that
I have them set up fine, but am having issues where they unsync all the sudden. I have to turn the trigger and/or the flashes on and off real quick to get them to sync again? Any experience with this or ideas on how they are disconnecting? Do they disconnect if I change modes or something? I sometimes flip from ETTL to Manual to Multi control sometimes while they are synced.
🤔 How is the signal strength of the channel you're using when this happens? There's a "channel signal strength" test that you can perform that'll show you how strong the connection it will be. Keep in mind that a strong channel, let's say ch.3 (while you're in an outdoor location), might not be as strong in an different environment (indoor close space). Different levels of interference very from place to place, check your channel signal strength, I suggest.🙏🙏
@@photographermugen Thank you so much for your prompt reply! I will definitely give it a shot. I usually leave them in Channel 1 and set their ID's to something weird, but I will try a different channel and check the signal strength! Thanks again for your help!!
Hi! Is there any way to use the st-e3-rt (at the same time) while using a flash on the hot shoe of camara? Or if I use the St-e3 is impossible to use a on camera flash? Thanks in advance!
Thank you! Awesome explanation
Why do you need a transmitter for Canon ex RT mk 2 600 when you can use a slave for more flash?

Very helpful!! Thanks
Your video is the best and simplest explanation of how to set up a speed-light and transmitter so far, for CANON and YOUNGNUO. Thank you!
thank you!
Awesome video! You saved me today!
When you say "hit this button over here" it doesn't help, can't tell what buttons you are hitting with your fingers!
seven year old vid my guy.

Nice job on the video. I ordered a transmitter after watching it.
major thanks. Great vid. I learned a great deal and I'm all set now. Love from Dublin, Ireland

Can't say I have.
Why did'nt you mention IDs settings?
Excellent overview, helped a lot. Thanks
Me back, Mugen Photography, are you able to get the flash in 2.4GHz under "Ext.M"?
Does it work with 430ex ?

Rodolfo Vanmarcke it's not possible, to my knowledge, it's either one or the other.
What is the maximum distances you were able to get with this setup?
Operating Range is 98 feet, but i never used it that far.
Mugen Photography, that's your max number or read from the specs?
Thank you! Went through a handful of videos and non of them told me that they both should NOT be on Master!
Tia Haygood glad to help
You needed a video to tell you that?
Kevin, take your negative energy elsewhere. The video was helpful. Let's leave it at that.
