Often when people make tutorials they are either unhelpful, contain way too much "personal" dialogue, or contain information but are shot horribly. This is literally one of the best tutorial videos I have came across. Way to go!!
this is way better than reading the manual - You Rock Gary!
This is how tutorials should be 👏👏👏
I’m returning to photography after a long break and had forgotten everything. This was perfect 👌
one of the best videos out there on the 600EX RT- covered all the functions- i went form shooting HDR real estate on my camera to using flashes and now have 3 600EX RT's and the E3 transmitter and this video made it so much easier to understand all the concepts!! THANKS GARY!!! by the way- love your diffusers!!!
I had to sift through several terrible tutorials to get to yours. Your was worth the wait!!! Thank you!
"This covers the universe of the entire world." You said it! Awesome tutorial, far more than I'll ever be using mine for, I suspect. Thanks a lot for helping me understand my flash unit! :)
Great video, I just bought two the 600EX RT and love them already. I'm impressed with your video(s) as I've watched a number of them just to refresh some of the stuff that this old photographer has forgotten. I'm from the "good ole days of film" that's a bit of an oxymoron because film was nothing compared to what we have today. Great work Gary keep it coming.
glad to hear! I'm with you on the non-manual reading.
This was an amazing tutorial. Extremely easy to follow and the “hierarchical” bit had me in tears. Thank you!
Gary , I love you Man !!! Just wanted to show you some appreciation.I am someone who has a difficult time learning technical stuff from reading textbooks or instructional manuals. But I actually learned about the 600EX-RT and the 430 EXII and how to use them from watching your videos. That I am totally excited about. Thanks Man !!!!!
Gary, I am new to flash work and just ordered my 600ex-rt. Thank you for a solid introduction video. Well done
Thank you for that wonderful tutorial. I was having trouble understanding the manual and you made it crystal clear!
Thanks Gary!
Great info and love all your products through the years.
Very thorough and clear. Thanks!
This was great. I just bought a Canon Speedlite and I'm trying to figure out how to use it.
I thought I know my Canon 600EX-RT but a learned more cool and useful functions and configurations from your awesome and very informative tutorial. Thanks Gary for this great video tutorial.
You made a tough subject easy....Superb job Gary!
This is so helpful thanks so much Gary! I have been using my two flashes with the trigger for a while now and just basically following my nose but not getting the full functionality out of it. Very helpful!
Outstanding. Simple, clear and logical. Thank you for this excellent video.
You rock! I have owned 5 of your Fong Domes and they have saved my life on several thousand shoots over the last 10 years! Thank you so much for these videos too. :)
You're welcome. Thanks.
Gary,. Simplified a complex topics. Great! Love to watch other video tutorials.
Very simple and straight forward tutorial ..... thanks Mr. Gray
Hi there. You can always purchase on my e-store, we have the full inventory and we ship same day :)
This is fantastic! I just rented this light and this was very helpful.
Definitely best video on youtube about this flash.
Hi Gary,thanks for doing this great tutorial! Ive got your lightspere Collapsable kit & loving it! It has rejuvenated my interest in flash/strobe photography! Thank You!
thanks for this video gary its so helpful and a brilliant demonstration
Thanks Garry, you've helped me understand my flash a lot better :)
I purchased one today and this was very helpful!!! Great video! Thanks!
very helpful and concise information. Thank you.
Great tutorial Gary, thank you!
Thanks Gary, that was a real informative tutorial. The 660ex-rt is a lot more involved than I would have imagined. It helps to understand why the system is so expensive. I guess it's another example of getting what you pay for.
jim.
Hi Gary,thanks for this great and informative video! Im having great success with this and your lightsphere kit! My Strobe photography has never looked so good!
Thanks so much, helped a lot!
Love your diffuser, really appreciate this video. Thank you!
Thank you! This was enormously helpful.
Phottix does have a Sony dedicated system, and I use it all the time.
Sooo well explained Gary!!
yes, use the infrared version
This is great guide! Easy to understand.
Hi Gary, I'm a big fan. Thanks for your great tutorials, they are very helpful.
do you have a 600 flash? You would use the popup flash on the 7D to trigger your remote Canon - ex flash, and if you were shooting outdoors, have the flash very close to your subject (as close as you can) and shoot on high speed sync. All of this instruction is on this channel in the HSS or off-camera flash playlists.
I should've done that when I had the STE3, but I got rid of it. Using a 580exII requires a hybrid system, and this is really tricky. When I get one, I'll do a video.
This was sooooo good!
great vid ..thanks for spending your time to show us this video , very informative .
sure does!
High speed sync requires that you use a snoot and have the subject pretty near to the flash if you are going to take it all the way up to 1/8000 of a sec. I have a ton of videos teaching this on my off-camera flash channel
Hi FilmstudioX - I have a video on this. The 600ex-rt has a great menu system which makes disabling the hot shoe flash from contributing to the exposure. This is one of the great features of the 600
Always best explaination. thanks
I love this flash, There are so much more to this flash, haven't even covered External Flash ETTL mode, External Flash Manual Mode etc. Just barely scratched the surface.
Thank you for this video, made my new speed light and radio transmitter easy to understand. Much easier than 2 owner's manuals. The speed light did show "TTL" instead of ETTL for a while and wouldn't expose right, wouldn't go to ETTL...then eventually went back to ETTL. Not sure if I bumped something or had funky setting. Yes I am brand new at this.
yes Jonathan - just do a google search for a video I posted on mounting the LSC to a 600ex
Thanks Gary great video
Barbara - yes absolutely. The 600ex-Rt has built-in infrared slave mode. If you have a Canon Mark III 5D, you have the ability to trigger via radio without the transmitter. I have a video about this - just do a search in my channel for 600ex-rt.
Thanks great instructional vid
Great Video, thanks!
Thanks Gary, good info.
Great video thank you
Thanks for the video!
Ok. This was amazing!
Great video Gary:)
great video. thanks!
The STE3 is exactly the same menu system as the 600ex-rt in master mode. Super simple.
I have canon 70D,and also youngnuo560iv,could u please,do a step by step setup guide to use as master and slave speedlight.Thank u.
Thank you! This is going to be so helpful when I get my new speedlites in! One question for now about the channels. When you checked to see which channel signal was best and you changed it from 7 to 13, does that automatically change all the other speedlites to the new channel as well? And if I am using a 600 for my master, a 580exII slave and a 600 slave will the 600 master adjust things on the 580exII as well even though it is a different model?
Awesome work Gary, very very informative. Are you able to trigger a 580/430 with infrared and another 600 with radio at the same time using groups?
Thanks Gary you the best you do great job !!!t thank u
Very good! Thanks!
Great Tutorial on the 600Ex-RT. It help me to decide to purchase one. I would like to see it in action off camera using the ST E3 RT. If you have the Time. Thanks
Hi,very detailed set up guide!From your experience does the high speed sync allows you have enough flash power for shooting in h mode frames with shutter speed like 1/250 or 1/300 without having alot of missfires??I know that 1/150 is a low flash and shutter speed sync for moving subjects and a trusted flash will be a fast flash like the 580.
Mike, I don't know about the 580 non exII. I'm sure that can be found on google.
Thanks Gary for the 600ex-rt overview! I watch this video every time I need to refresh myself about the features and functions of my flash. Also a proud owner of the Gary Fong Collapsible Lightsphere. I had a question about setting the zoom on the flash Since I am using APS-C sensor crop bodied cameras (t3i + t4i) with a crop factor of 1.6 do I need to take that into account when setting the zoom on the flash? for example, If I am using a 35mm prime lens on a t3i, would I put 50mm on flash zoom?
Thanks Gary - I'm just beginning to look at the complex features that are available on these flashes - it will definitely take awhile to master. I have a 580EX (not II) - will the 680 work in sync with my model (I am thinking of purchasing the 600 to start using synchronized multiple flashes)?
Thank you!!
really nice
4:40 Gary,
Where does the zoom set it's self when pointed up?
And roughly what would you suggest (manual zoom?) when shooting into say 30" umbrellas.
Thanks.
Hello Gary, Just wandering with the zoom on a canon 70d. If i have say a 50mm lens it shows as zoom 50 but due to the crop sensor it is more like an 80mm lens with the 1.6 crop factor.
This should be in the video. I don't know how far into the video I explain it, but it's the part where you disable the "lightning bolt" icon.
Thank you of this
Thank you!
Great Video! How can I get the Triger Mode switch back to changing the mode. It seems to be going into radio signals.
Thanks for your reply. Yes it is, its shown being as simple as pressing the link button 3/4 times. Mine only switches, to master radio, slave radio then ETTL and so on, am thinking the flash optical function may be at fault
Thanks so much
For zoom function, does it take into account full-frame vs. non full-frame cameras? Or does it see what your lens is set to (which is my guess).
Great video Gary I have 2 speed lutes 600 EX rt. I just got the transmitter ste 3. Do u have a video on how to use the transmitter ste 3 as a master to trigger the speedlites slacked ??
Good Day Gary. I have 2 YN600ex-rt, 1canon 580 ex ii and a YN e3 rt (Transmitter), is it possible to use the optical on the 580 and the RT on the 600 at the same time using the YN e3 rt transmitter?
Thanks. I went with some ttl triggers to solve my problem :)
The 430ex has a guide number of 43, whereas the 600 has a guide number of 60. So yes it is quite a bit more powerful. If you are shooting at ISO800 indoors however, the 430ex should have plenty of power, even diffused.
Merrick - you cannot trip the hybrid system reliably. I actually tried this in Toronto during a demonstration after I bought my 600ex/rt, and it wouldn't work. The Canon CPS reps were there, and they concluded that it was radio or IR, but not both.
Hi Gary, I have to shoot a wedding this weekend in a church with low or dim lighting, what setting should I shoot in? I'll be using a Canon 7D and Canon 50D.
At 11:14, you edit out how you got the unit to display a, b, and c on separate lines.
How do you do it?
Gary, I need your help on camera remote trigger shooting.
How do you turn off the ATG AF Assist Beam (blinking) on the flash that acted remote?
600EX-RT (Master radio ETTL II) on ten ATG Canon EOS-1D Cr.
600EX-RT (Slave radio- use as Remote Camera Trigger), I am holding this flash.
We also have the ATG Phantom Underwater housing modified for camera & flash.
That red blinking light will not be safe when Jaw and his friends are around.
Thanks!
Gary. Can you do a video on the controller and the speedlite together.
im going to be getting the 600ex-rt speedlite and then getting a Lightsphere Collapsible Pro Kit will the 600ex-rt work with it i have the 580ex ll, i just want to know if it will work for it , let me know as soon as you can thanks
Gary: This was enormously helpful for me, thanks a lot. I subbed. A quick question: Can I in RADIO use Second-Curtain Sync function? Thanks in advance for your answer
Gary's tutorialas do Rock indeed and as a Canon CP I own varios 580 and 600 flashes. The tutorial rocks Gary and I am doing some testing here in Mexico with some "non Gary Fong" defusors because well we don't get them here and when we order them it is crazy expensive.
One day I am going to try to test the "fakes" against the Gary Fongs but having been in Mexico for 20 years now you get used to working with knock offs. Band broke first test shoot. :(
Keep up the great work Gary.
Hi! What mode do I have to use if my master flash is off camera? Is it possible to trigger via radio from my camera to my master flash (I have a canon T5i) and not by using the red photosensitive cell on the flash triggered by my camera flash?
Hey Gary. Does the Powersnoot (the non collapsible) fit on the 600ex rt head? Thanks!
Are thete any other radio systems that it works with, or can you only use it with other 600ex units?
