YN622C Tranceiver Review

- Опубликовано: 22 янв 2025
- Just got my hands on the new YN622C wireless flash triggers, and testing them out. I could've made this video 10 minutes long but figured it would get boring.
So far so good, I'm happy with these, but they aren't currently working with my 1d mark IV. I'm talking with yongnuo on a fix for these currently so i'll keep you updated.
ps ; check out www.bluemartiniphotography.com if you get a min, thanks!
UPDATE : YN568EX first impressions : • YN568EX flash Review
Just wanted to thank you. It is this very review that made me order them a couple of days after it was uploaded. Received them, checked them, worked with them and luckily enough I found someone to sell my knights. Thanks again.
Yes, you can change it. I don't have my 7D next to me right now, but it should be C.Fn IV -2 -1. Dial direction during Tv/Av. Changing this setting affects manual mode as well. The Nikons also have this feature
the exposure comp will still work from the camera for any camera with ETTL possibility. just the manual control ( 1/1, 1/4, 1/16 etc ) will only work on the EXII models, the yn565, and the yn568.
you can adjust which channel in the 'external speedlight control' menu on the camera, and they should match up. You can set different groups in the same channel ( to individually control each speedlight power ) but they all need to be on the same channel to fire with one camera. This is useful at a wedding when two photographers are using two different speedlights each.
in the first segment i've got a 580ex2 and a 580ex 1 on the flashes. These both allow HSS and ETTL. the 580ex1 does not allow manual flash control from the menu system, but the YN565ex does. The cut was switching the rear flash from the 580ex1 to the 565 so I could control manual power. the 2nd cut as going back to the 580ex1 so that I could test HSS. I should've done it only once, but again...just a quick video.
If you have a flash control menu in the settings, yes. All flashes and transmitters/receivers need to be TTL or the Nikon equivalent, though.
Finally, a nice, short and to the point review of these. Thanks!
You mentioned a 1DMKIV problem in your description. Can you give more info on that please?
the original ones didn't work on my 1d mark IV. i could control the power from the camera but when i pressed the shutter it didn't fire. They have since fixed the issues and fixed my units.
what's very bad? the mix mode you hold down the ch select button for 3 seconds and it puts it in that mode. it's in the instructions as well.
Thanks, so I will need a pair for one off camera speedlite. If I want to add a second off camera speedlite I have no choice but to buy another pair of YN622C? Leaving me one extra transceiver lying around.
One question , you buy 2 for 99, but you have 3 , 1 on camara and 1 in each flash, so this is 3 ?
whats was the 3 one?
s
you can use ETTL but use ratios or flash exposure compensation just as if you had a flash on camera
you cant run the popup flash or master and a yn622c, but you can use the yn622c's to control the other flashes. You will have to have one on camera for them to communicate. You can also put a flash ON your yn622c ON your camera and control the power of all three flashes together or independently.
if you have a yn622c ON camera, and 1 on each flash, you are correct, you won't need a master as the on camera yn622c serves as the master. You can control the settings of the 430exII from the 'external speedlight control' menu in the camera. Set different flashes in different groups to control power or ratios of each flash.
@Keith ; you can control flash exposure but then you have control of ratio's. So you can add +1 but have the strength being 2:1 on group A over group B. I don't think you can control each group.
i've got a wedding this weekend I plan on using them at so we'll see how well they fair!
i'll give it a run tonight, but when i tested JUST the 565 in HSS it wouldn't sync.
think of the YN622 just as a wireless cable that connects the two devices, so the flash acts as if it was on the camera.
hi. please help me. i received a yn622c trigger, but i do not own a canon camera. i noticed when i push the Test button on the trigger all three lights at GP SET are flashing together. this is a normal behavior? i tested this trigger alone. l already seen a couple of yn622 trigger but i do not saw this flashing together condition of them. thank you.
Hi,
Is there any way to acces the EXTERNAL FLASH menu more rapidely like a shortcut ???? its quite annoying to go each time within the menus....
Need? That's up to you. You'll need 1 per camera, and 1 per flash, but you can combine as many as you need. I purchased 6 transceivers total, ( i like having backups ).
i dont have a t3i to test, but im assuming it would. it's worked on everything i've tested except the 1d mark IV and they have released a 'fix' for those.
Great videon on the YN622C. I was contemplating acquiring the Pocket Wizard Plu III but it is so much more expensive. I then explored others like Pixel King and Aputure and then I saw your video and was impressed with the ability to change flash settings using the on camera flash menu on the 5D Mk II and the Mk III. I am now the owner of three units of the YN-622C. I have tested them extensively on ETTL and manual and I have yet to be disappointed. Fingers crossed, there will be none.
I have 3 yn560s that have worked flawless but Im debating on getting either the 565 or just getting the canon 430 ex II because of the HSS...im torn...
Thanks! I'm scared to make the jump to manual. I didn't know you still can do flash compensation in manual. Nice to know. I found a trick recently to reverse the dial to match the meter on the camera when using manual mode. I always get confused and move dial wrong way when trying manual mode. If I can move the dial to match the meter, would much easier. Move dial to the right, meter moves to the right...
i used to do something similiar like this :
how would i try it with the yn622s? just put a few yn560's in slave mode and see if they sync?
the YN568 is comparable to 430ex2, both don't have the command mode (trigger other flashes) that the 580EX2 has.
there may be a way w/ the 5d3 since you can setup 'shortcuts' but without having the camera in front of me, i'm not sure if that's avialable. anyone else wanna chip in and check?
I am kind of a newbie when it comes to triggering flashes. So far before I used manual triggers (not TTL) that required me to control individual flashes manually. Since this s E-TTL flash, can I buy just one trigger and will it trigger the actual flashes working as slaves? or do I need to buy a receiver for each Flash to attach to? I thought Canon flashes (at least 430EXII and 580EXII) had receivers in themseleves to work as slaves?
I'm hoping to see this combo reviewed as well. I'm almost ready to pull the trigger but everything I find on these Transceivers says nothing about the 568ex. :-/
the 568's support HSS, but don't have an external battery port, just depends on what you need them for. a different tool for a different job.
I really like the 560's (all manual) for reception lighting. they are built like tanks, and if they get knocked over I'm not crying on the floor. I use the 568's for portraits as they will do HSS and i can control the power from the camera. . this allows me a bit more control.
cool video...i love to see your portfolio...specially your wedding shots where i can see them?
yep but if i own a 7D there's no way to configure a shortcut right?
Thank Big D.
cause of you i ordered 4.
Question I have a canon 60d and a Canon 5D mark 3
a Yong Nuo 568ex Yong Nuo 565 Ex and Canon 600 ext.
My question if i use one on camera one on the yong nuo flash will the canon link to the Yn6222 without a trigger attached
I need a great car photographer where you located?
so u able to sync up to 1/8000s with yn622 irregardless type of flash (which in my case its yn560ii that has no HSS) ?
Wouldn't a High Speed Sync work better In the front? (580ex VS YN565ex)
thanks! I was using three transceivers for this yes, I use these every wedding and still am happy with them. The only thing I wish they were a bit beefier. They look sketchy when you have 1 on camera and a 1 flash on the tranceiver winging the camera around it's a little scary, but nothing negative to report as of yet from this.
Thx again for the review. Some questions:
1) In Manual mode, does the YN-622c emit any pre-flash? In manual mode, the competitor product, Phottix Odin sends out a pre-flash,and this hinders the correct use of a Sekonic light meter.
2) Wonder if anyone has tested the YN-622c for full compatibility with the NISSIN Di866 Mk2 flash in both ETTL-II and Manual modes?
3) Wonder anyone has tested the YN-622c for full compatibility with the new YN-568EX flash in both ETTL-II and Manual modes?
Hey there, I just got the YN-622C and an YN568EX. Can the YN-622C trigger the YN568EX directly (without mounting on another transceiver) ? Thanks
im thinking og buying a pair - can I just buy two tranceivers and use the 580 to control the 565 or will I need a transceiver for both flashes...
If I use a PC sync with my alienbees, it should work in HHS???
currently i have 03 yn-560ii flashes triggered by RF-603. my question, would YN-560ii capable of high-speed sync should i pair it with YN-622C trigger? really need to know the answer before i place the order of YN-622C. thanks & regards.
how would the 430exII receive data from the camera? I'd just suggest a 3rd yn622C.
im not sure if the 7d has shortcuts to be honest, i use it as a backup.
Hi. Nice video. I began to wonder about the number of transceivers required to control two off-camera flashes. Can I use one YN622C on-camera and another one attached to a 580EX II, and control a 430EX II via Canon wireless features, or should I need a third YN622C? Thanks.
So this Is not an Infra-Red Transmitter right?
SO I won't be having problems with it while shooting outside?
So to be clear...
The yn565 lets you control from the camera but the 580ex doesn't?
But the yn565 doesn't let you do hss but the 580ex does?
-the yn565 will do ETTL and control manual power but no High speed sync.
-the 580ex will do ETTL but you cannot control manual power, but CAN do high speed sync.
-the 580exII will do ETTL, control manual power, and control HSS.
-the yn568 will allow ETTL, control manual power, and HSS but no battery pack
Am I correct in my understanding that by using the YN622C I can manually adjust the power of the Yongnuo 565 in camera using a 5d MKII? Thanks for the video, twas exactly what I was looking for!!
thanks. I already have 3 Canon flashes, 580EXII, 430EXII, and 430EX. So far I've been using cowboy studio and triggering flashes in manual mode. Just looking for a cheaper way to make things easier
the pixel kings are just fine, they just don't ETTL ratios (which i really wanted) and ETTL pass through. They do have a usb out for future software updates (that the yn622's dont have) and have a dedicated tx and rx. that's the main difference.
Dan nice review. Can you elaborate on how you use the groups and channels. For me Channel 1 group A or B fires all the flashes. If I have the triggers set to channel 1 group A that mean that group B flashes shouldn't fire. Not sure if that's correct but I'm using a 6D. Thanks
Thanks Dan. Very instructive video as the possibilities of this product. I have a Canon T4i (650D) and wonder if I could use the same independent manual control or flash ratio control with the YN-622C and 2 off camera flashes. The manual for the T4i says on page 226 "The camera’s master unit function cannot be used for wireless flash shooting with radio transmission". Do you ever tried using these YN-622C with a T4i??? I have two speedlites 430-EX II. Thanks for any response. Joe.
the 580ex and 430ex will work in ETTL mode, and will trigger if they are set to manual power, but YOU CANNOT CONTROL the power of each flash from the camera as shown, you'll need the 580ex II or 430ex II
Quick question. If I buy 2 sets of these triggers. And have two or three 430ex ii flashes I won't need a master flash will I? Seems like a more affordable option when thinking about the cost of one 580ex ii.
yes, just go to flash control, select manual, then select power of flash. you must use a 580ex II, 430exII or YN565
Question, do you know if the YN622 Transceiver would work for HSS on the YN565ex? I know this flash does not have HSS, but wonder if somehow the transceiver is able to compensate for this
I want change parametres of flash in manual mode from camera. The description says that it is real
just checked that thread. you may misunderstand it. I think he was referring the ATG thing.
can SLR's cameras like canon ae 1 program fire on this? or nikon SLR's also?
Looking to buy these just got one question. I have just two 430ex2 flashes, these triggers come as a set of 2. Can I just put 1 on my 7d and one on 1 of my flashes and still control second flash or do I have to buy another set. Hope that makes sense. Thanks in advance
You say these triggers replace the PW system. I have the mini PW and they can even sync my studio lights at 1/8000 (they do not support HSS) and even when shooting with my Metz 58af flashes i have no problem syncing them at full power. I am sorry if I misunderstood your comment.
stupid question but it comes with 2 for about 99 bucks right?
I believe I am experiencing the same problem. I just purchased the yn622c for my canon 5dii - can't get them to fire during exposure. I can control power and flash zoom but doesn't fire the flash. How did you get them fixed? Any help/advice you can give would be SO very helpful!
thank you cant you tell me what flash you recommend for camera use with TTL AND A BATTERY POWER PACK
from where? I only see set of 2 everywhere
could you do high speed sync if you mount a yn560 on a yn622c receiver?
Blue Martini Photography I need serious help on this one... I have been wanting to do HSS for the longest while thing is my Nikon D5200 doesn't have the AutoFp HSS function but I was wondering if I get a flash like the godox V850 or Nikon 910 that has the capabilities in conjunction with the yn 622 transceiver Nikon version for both camera and flash will it trick the system Into doing HSS
SUMMER KRYPTONITE i'm not too familiar with the nikon lineup honestly, but as long as the YN622 supports it, the camera supports it, and the flash supports it, I would think it would work. Try checking some nikon forums.
Would these trigger works with the canon t3i
yup!
so the exposure comp on those would not work from the camera? thanks mate!
When i tested it, the pc-pc sync connection didn't work.
yongnuo's new RT flashes? i haven't heard anything about those.
Hi! Just curious, were you shooting in manual mode on the camera or some other (aperture priority)? Thank you
Very good and informative video. I didn't know that I can control the flash groups from my canon. Just got kings, will I be able to do that with it? Thanks again
Great video! Quick question, would this work on an off brand flash? My second flash does not have ETTL, I'm hoping this product will at least fire my vivitar 850afc with manual setting. Will this work?
Does HSS work for PC-PC sync connection?
Can you please test and confirm if one single YN622C put on the camera and another put on a YN568EX flash can enable and control the wireless optical MASTER mode on the flash plase?
I have 2x YN622C, one YN568EX and one YN565EX. So i want one transmitter on the camera to control the YN568EX set in master mode which will trigger the YN565EX
Did you find out if this works? I'm in the same situation
No, it will not work in wireless radio ETTL II.
Yes, if you set the slave into wireless IR in S1 or S2.
Sorry for english.
Great review.
Tell me please, can i use this yn622 with 2 flash, when 1 - ettl, 2 - in manual mode?
hi Martini Which flash you recommend to use with yn 622c for TTL USE
afaik Metz Mecablitz 58 AF-1 & AF-2 on paper are capable of HSS so u shud able to sync it at HSS.
mind telling what studio strobes that you're using? specs?
Great review! Can't wait to get mine in to play with. Please continue to drop a few more reviews in with then 622's!!
I have a Canon T5i and YN568EX II, and I just received the YN622C-TX and YN622C. The HSS is not working right! I follow your settings but it doesn’t work with a shutter speed above 1/300. Any ideas? I want to shoot wide open in a sunny day.
anghelov I'm not familiar with the YN622C-TX version, but go into the settings and make sure you select HSS. I'm guessing when you have them attached you can't move the camera below 1/300, is that correct? If so, I bet the HSS option is not activated under the 'flash external settings' (if your camera has it). good luck.
dan kinzie I can move shutter speed below 1/300. Look at my settings here: drive.google.com/open?id=0B7Xs20HC0Q6LTGRKMlF3V0hsazA
anghelov very odd. Does that camera support HSS? I feel like someone else had the same issue with the TX version of the yn622c. can you try another yn622c as the trigger?
dan kinzie Yes, it does. It's a Canon T5i. I tried the flash on the hot shoe mount and it works fine at HSS. I don't have another yn622c. I'm planning on return them and get a replacement. Thanks for looking into it.
anghelov not a bad idea. Have you seen anyone else use the yn622-tx with HSS work with a yn622c? can you use the yn622tx as a receiver or only trigger? maybe try switching them? If you were close i'd let you borrow one to try out before you shipped it back. maybe it's old firmware on the tx and it doesn't support HSS? *i had test versions of the yn622c came out, hence the early video, and they did some funky stuff with my 1d mark IV until firmware update was released*
Hey Dan I'm debating on buying the 622c but I have a question. Can these be used a remote shutter release?
i taught the 7d had a built in commander on it?
I don't own any METZ flashes so i've never tested them out. There may be others out that that have these that can test them for you. I do know they work with the yn560's (~$50) but they are manual only.
I have the YN560-II flash and one canon 420EX(older one) and I have the RF-603C(older ones with off/on button on top). I am wanting to purchase another flash (yungnuo) and wanted to find out what would be the best approach. I wanted to know the difference between the YN560-TX and YN622C? NOt sure what I need to purchase and would like one flash with ETTL on camera capability.
So with teh YN622C can control from camera?
The YN-560TX is a MANUAL controller for manual flashes only (YN-560 mk 3 & 4 - or 560 mk2 with YN-603 trigger) - you can only change the flash power output and the zoom whereas the YN-622C is a ETTL controller only for ETTL flashes. I would recommend the YN-560 mk 3 or 4 (manual flash) as they both have built in triggers to work with the YN-560TX, or the YN-568 mk2 flash as that has ETTL and works great with the 622. I hope that helped - Robert
Hey Dan great vid. I just got my YN622c and when I put my 430ex2 on one of them I had to use channel 2 on the flash, but channel 1 on the camera or it would not fire, do you know how to set them up on the same channel? Thanks
i have the same question ???????????
Great demo. Is the ratio settings used saved in the EXIF data of the image file?
Nice review got a Yongnuo 565ex and i want it to trigguer it remotely on ttl and manual
yes you can, but i just sold my 580ex version ones, i still have my version II though.
you mean these radio triggers, or a different brand? I've used HSS with these and it functions as it should.
correct, it's on a 2.4gHz band and shoots very consistent in the sunlight
Per aver un pieno controllo dei flash in remoto, bisogna usarli in manuale, non TTL :(
on full power they should sync, but when you use it you will lose a large amount of light. for example 1/200 @ f11 , 1/2000 @ f2.8 to give you an idea.
How many triggers do you need? 2 or 3?
How did you get the third unit? Did you just buy two sets?
thanks
i dont know if you can use the master /slave WHILE it's on a tranceiver...but for $50 more why not just buy another one?
will the YN622C Tranceiver work with Rebel t3i?
How does the yn568 compare to the canon 580ex2. And is it a good buy??
haven't tested the on camera yet, need to catch up on wedding editing first, but will be trying this weekend at my next wedding.
mm.m...i doubt it. i'd have to test but either way, you still wouldn't be able to control it from the camera which si the main benefit of the yn622c's.
