You can Place the RF-602 / 3 / 4 transmitter on top of the YN-622 pass through hotshoe, and fire them all together. The one that gets the most questions though is the YN-622.

So that's all fairly simple combing manual triggers, no loss of sync speed etc there. If you have PocketWizards or similar without a pass through hotshoe, that is where the Meyin RF-604 come in, as you can mount the Pocketwizard etc on top of that. So if combining existing triggers which have a pass through hotshoe, all you need to do is mount the RF-602 / 3 / 4 Tx on top of that pas through hotshe, to fire your existing triggers and flashes as well as the new YN-560 III In a lot of cases the RF-602 transmitter would still be just as good though. They also have Sony and Olympus/Panasonic version as well as Canon and Nikon. They are generally a better TX choice than the 602 or 603 though, and they are sold separately so you can get just the one TX. Sync speed is normally faster than the RF-602, but when used with the YN-560 III its exactly the same as the RF-602, so no advantage there. And the nice group feature is also disabled. the RF-602 mode on the Meyin RF-604 limits them to transmitter use only! So any extra receivers used would need to be RF-602 anyway.Īlso they only have one channel 16 (channel 16) in RF-602 mode. The Meyin RF-604 are generally better triggers than the RF-602 or 603, (they actually have locking rings / pins (though tiny), and a real TTL pass though hotshoe, and groups function similar to the Strato II).īUT. I got some of the Rikon Meyin RF-604 transceivers, which are basically the 3rd compatible transmitter option for the YN-560 III, as they have an RF-602 transmitting mode.
But even then unless you use all RF-602 / 603 receivers for monolight etc, there's going to be some transmitter / trigger combining. So that's all great, I would really like to swap all my manual speedlites for these flashes, it would just simplify things dramatically. Its still freaks me out that the little RF-602 transmitter fires it without anything attached to that flash, it seems a bit like magic when I'm not expecting it.Īnd it hasn't lost any range with the receiver inside either, if anything I definitely got better results with the built in receiver than an RF-602 RX attached to the foot. If you don't know already, this flash rocks.

I've put a full review of the YN-560 III with built in RF-602 / 603 receiver up here - /yongnuo-yn-560-iii-review/ there is supposed to be another trigger coming out (soon-ish) to remotely change the power on the 560III but the manufacturer has not mentioned when. So, which triggers should I get with the flash? press the button of the 603III in your hand = shutter and flash fire without touching the camera. Have a 603II in your hand, have a 603II on the hot shoe w/ included shutter cable attached to camera, have the 560III off-camera. In any of the above, how do I fire the shutter (and the off-camera flash) without touching the camera? Do I just need two units? the built-in receiver is NOT compatible with any version of the 622.
The built-in receiver is compatible with the rf-602, 603 and 603II. įrom what I understand, the 560-III has a built-in receiver - Is it compatible with the RF-603-II, YN-622N and the YN-622N-TX? I'm on a D7100.Īs others may have said, the 560III does not do TTL. Looking at purchasing a Yongnuo YN560-III as my first flash - its cheap and I want the ability to do RF wireless with TTL.
