Excellent Let me start by saying that this product works just like the manufacturer says it does.This is an affordable solution for those of you looking to trigger your camera remotely using a radio transmitter or fire off strobes, speedlights and/or flashes with a wireless transmitter.This units a transceivers, which means they can act as transmitter or receiver.One thing to keep in mind. I have tested this using a Nikon D7000 and a Nikon D90. I tested each camera independently with the following speedlights: Nikon SB-700, SB-800, SB-900. The speedlights fired every time. I also fired the camera remotely using the same setup.I put one on the hot-shoe in the camera and another in the speedlight as normal. The funny thing is that if you connect the supplied wire from the camera to the transceiver when you press the shutter in the camera it fires the speedlight and vice versa. When you press the test button in the transceiver attached to the speedlight it fires the camera and the speedlight, you can't ask for more on this price range.This setup is not TTL. You have no wireless control about the speedlight power from the camera. You have to set your speedlight to manual mode and adjust the power setting to whatever you need. This will fire the speedlight in sync to the highest sync speed of your camera. In the Nikon D7000 is 1/250, faster than that and you will get the expected black bar on the bottom of the frame if you are framed horizontally. That also means, of course, that it doesn't support FP High Speed Sync. All things I can live with because when I need one I typically don't need the other. I am still using the Nikon CLS but its nice to have this kind of range and capability if you need it for this price.If you absolutely need this feature, go see Pocket Wizard they have your solution for $219-$199 a pop.I got six of this puppies for all my speedlights and both my cameras. You can't beat it for the price.If you are contemplating the possibility of buying one, go right ahead, you won't feel bad about it.This is an awesome price for these capabilities. You have a PC connection and that gives you extra flexibility in case you want to hook them up to a strobe.April 27, 2012 Update.Hello all, this is an update to add a few things. These transceivers are still working great.I have purchased the more advanced Pocket Wizard Flex TT5 flash triggers to my bag-o-tricks. I purchased three of them for now. I am not writing this here to brag but to tell you how you can still use these Yongnuo RF-603's along with the PW stuff.**Why in the world would he want to do that? I know right, crazy talk? Keep reading!**The PW Flex TT5 system has a drawback that has been well identified through out the several training videos in their website and others. The Flex system is not able to trigger the camera remotely while maintaining TTL communication between camera and flashes faster than one frame every two seconds. That may not be a problem for most people but I always try to work around tech problems even if they don't affect me now that way I have an answer for when it bites me in the future.The way I did it was assembling the PW with camera and flashes as PW recommends and then when all of that was done and all gizmos were talking to each other I proceeded to hook up the Yongnuo receiver to the camera via the GPS port as usual. I left it dangling from the camera and used another Yongnuo transceiver to trigger. It worked flawlessly. It was triggering as fast as I wanted with no noticeable delays. Notice that I never hooked up the Yongnuo gear with the PW gear. They only way the Yongnuo transceiver is hooked up to the camera is by the N3 cable as recommended by Yongnuo. This way you have radio TTL remote flash triggering along with radio camera triggering.Anyone worried about RF interference? Its a valid concern. I looked at both operating frequencies and the PW (FCC- USA Version) operates between 340-354 MHz, the Yongnuo RF-603 operates at 2.4 GHz. The amount of space in the RF spectrum is so far apart that unless the devices are physically touching each other, there should not be any interference or frequency drift. (This is my opinion and experience, this information has not been professionally tested in a lab under controlled conditons).Benefits from this setup:-Mainly, NO delay between shutter press and camera triggering.-Radio triggering on both systems, no line of sight issues.-You leave camera in tripod and flashes in light stands and keep your Yongnuo trigger in your hand while working in a studio or on location. It also means that you don't have to buy an expensive PW radio to just trigger your camera.-If you drop your Yongnuo trigger and it breaks is about $37 for a pair as opposed to $200 or so for a PW Flex.I tried this setup with a Nikon D700 and Nikon D7000 along side my speed lights: SB-700, SB-800 and SB-900. I also own Yongnuo YN-560 flashes (about $65 each) and I use them as kickers and trigger them with the built in optical slave. Yes, while all the Nikon flashes fire in TTL. The Yongnuo flashes have two modes for optical (main flash, and M2 where the flash ignores the TTL pre-flash).Now, this is what I call harmony across my entire camera bag. I don't like bickering inside the camera bag while I sleep at night.Jan 8, 2013 Update.Works with the Nikon D600 too.Enjoy,Rob 4Amazing Value! I have nothing bad to say about this product. I bought these triggers to use with my Nikon DSLR's. I have a D3100,D70,D90 and two D7000's. My main purpose for buying these was for the extended range when shooting outdoors or in large rooms. For that purpose they work great! I'm actually buying another set for an upcoming shoot.If your on a budget then these will work on all entry level and mid level Nikon bodies. These are rated to work at a speed of 1/320th maximum sync speed on SOME bodies. However all of my Nikon's that have a fully mechanical shutter, these triggers will sync to 1/200th max. If I push it to 1/250th then you'll see part of the shutter in the bottom of the image.On the plus side if you own one of the older 6mp Nikon's from 2004 to 2007 then your in luck. The D70/s, D50 and D40 used a hybrid shutter system. Those 6mp bodies have the ability to sync to 1/500th of a second. I'm happy to report that my old D70 can happily shoot at 1/500th all day and not have any issues with the shutter getting in the way. This is VERY useful for out door shooting on a budget.Whats even better is that I've been able to sync my D70 at 1/800th and faster! This is something that the optical flash commander on the D70 simply wouldn't allow, the D70's flash commander is limited to 1/500th max.Having the ability to sync that fast is awesome. It means you can now use the flash to get better, more creative lighting and also to freeze your subjects, this is very useful for outdoor photography. For indoor use its pretty much useless unless you have ALLOT of light to work with. Otherwise you'll just get very under exposed or maybe just black images even with the power cranked all the way up.Another plus to these radio triggers is the fact that your not limited by line of sight or range. With optical and infrared triggers you have to try and keep everything inline for the most part, which limits how you can place your flashes or where you want to stand once you've got everything setup. You also can't be more then 40~50 meters away from your subject. These triggers work using radio waves. They say you can use these up to 100 meters away which is true. You can also place your flashes anywhere you want, any way you want and these babies will still set off your flashes. That alone is worth the 32 bucks!.The only down side to these triggers is that they are not compatible with Nikon's i-TTL system. This can be a down side for allot of people. But for me I could care less. These triggers seem to be well made. They are built better then allot of other Chinese junk out there. The plastics have a good fit and finish. All the components fit together nicely and the hot shoe and hot shoe mounts have good tight feel to them. Others have said the on/off switch is poorly placed, well I'd have to agree with them. Its not a big deal but its something that Youngnuo has improved on the updated version.Oh and these will also work as a wireless and wired remote shutter! They work better then Nikon and Canon's clumsy infrared remote units. Basically all you do is take one RF-603 and mount it to your cameras hot shoe. Then take the supplied cord and plug one end into your camera and the other into the RF-603. Then turn on both the camera and the trigger. Now turn on your other RF-603, its now your cameras wireless remote. With these triggers you have a large button on the front. This button is used to both test the flash and to also be used as a wireless or wired remote shutter. Both units have a two stage button just like the cameras shutter button. So you can auto focus on your subject by half pressing the button and then a full press will release the shutter.To use these units as a wired remote shutter all you have to do is just plug the included cable into your camera and plug the other side into your RF 603. Turn the camera and the trigger on and presto you now have wired remote shutter. But you have no way to lock the shutter button so you really can't use these for bulb mode.If you have a Nikon D3100 which doesn't have an infrared sensor (WTF Nikon?) guess what you now have one with this setup plus a radio trigger for off camera flash photography.So basically this set is three tools in one. A radio flash trigger and a wired / wireless remote shutter release.The RF-603 N units themselves will work on all Nikon bodies ranging from the D70 till today's current bodies. I'm not sure about the D100 or D1 series.However this particular set which includes the LS-2.5/N3 cord will NOT function as a wireless or wired remote shutter on the following bodies. D40,D40x,D60,D50,D70/s,D80,D3000,D200,D300/s and all the pro bodies. The old entry bodies don't have a socket to connect the remote shutter cord. The D70 also didn't have a remote shutter socket. The D70s and D80 used a different socket setup compared to the newer bodies. The D200 and D300/s used a ten pin terminal to connect a remote shutter.This RF-603 N3 set will allow you to use these triggers as wireless/wired remote on the following current bodies.The D3100,D3200,D3300, D5000 series,D7000 series, D90 and the D600/D610. 5These guys work great! I've used them in pretty large venues and ... I am a part time wedding photographer working on building my business. I needed some inexpensive triggering devices to use with my Yongnuo YN560-II flashes to lear and use flash photography at wedding receptions. I looked into the Pocket Wizard system but they were a bit steep for my current budget. These guys work great! I've used them in pretty large venues and at outdoor weddings and have never had an issue with them not triggering as needed. I work with the flashes mentioned above and either a Nikon d3000 or d5300. They hold their battery life wonderfully. I don't use them everyday and I usually take the batteries out when in storage, but I've had them over a year and have used them on a number of occasions and I've only put new batteries in once. These are a great set of flash triggers for starting out with, or even regular use. 5Save your money for a better one For starters, it works, and seems to work quite well. I'm using it with a Nikon D60 and a SB 600 (though it theoretically should work with any standard hot shoe. The key is to disable standby on your flash. After that, these work great, and have fired for me 100% of the time so far (after about 100 shots).That said, it seems to be quite cheaply made, which you could argue is to be expected for the price point. I'm not expecting this to last more than a year or two with light use. I normally have a rule to spend more money and get nicer things the first time around, because when you buy the cheap stuff it doesn't usually last long and you end up upgrading to the nice stuff anyway, wasting money. Once in a while there's a killer, well made product for a great deal, but sadly this just seems to be a cheap product that will be replaced soon.Another pro or con, depending on how you look at it, was the poorly translated Chinese to English instruction manual. It's mostly useless, except for getting a good laugh (if you appreciate a bad translation job). These don't require much instruction anyway, as they function as you'd expect them to out of the box, so it's not a big loss. 3Hot shoe lose, tighten before use. These are decent little triggers. They work with my external flash without needing to attach both units. (That is, once I was able to figure out how to put my flash in the correct setting to pair up)My main complaint though is the sturdiness of the hotshoe attachment. The metal piece that other equipment may attach too was not screwed in very well and if you attach a lot of other heavy equipment on top, it has a good chance of falling off like mine did. Both of my units ended up breaking on me with equipment attached. Thankfully the equipment didnt break.I was able to open up the units and find the little screws and reattach the metal plate. I don't think they were ever screwed in properly to begin with as the metal piece did feel rather lose so check that if you plan to attach anything to the top of the unit.I use these because I wanted to have a way to use my external flash on camera, along with a microphone, and now a led light. I attached the transceiver to the camera, then attached a multi shoe attachment on top of that. Then I set up my flash/ mic/ light. Even with just the flash and mic, this was too heavy for the lose hot shoe, causing the whole thing to fall off. 3Excellent value I have to say I was surprised by the high quality of these triggers. Even their packaging is of high quality you would expect on a Nikon or Canon product. I use mine with d7000 and sb700s. They sync unto 250th of a second but at that speed, there is a tiny bit of shutter cutoff at the bottom. On complete white backgounds it almost looks like I gobo'd the light to fall off at the very bottom of the frame. In most cases this works great. On horizontal shots I use this as a "feature" sometimes.. On vertical shots it needs to be cropped post production since it is only on one side. On a dark background it is not an issue. If I don't want this shadow and I don't want to crop the frame later, my max sync speed is 200th of a second. Flashes have to be in manual mode, no TTL here...Range is as advertised. I can trigger flashes that are not in line of sight. I use these only when CLS infrared would be an issue. Otherwise I keep these as backup and use my su-800.Lastly, these function as a remote trigger on my d7000. I already have the dedicated Nikon remote, but that only works with line of sight and close range and it has trouble focusing unless I set the camera to auto continuous focus mode. If I forget, the the pictures are all out of focus. And with the dedicated remote, I have to move the shutter mode to remote. Using these yongnuo triggers as a remote, all those limitations disappear. I can use it with all camera settings from any angle. Focus is perfect and I don't have to switch camera settings before and after I use the remote. By the way, they still fire your flashes while using as a remote.I purchased 2 sets. I can use 3 flashes or if I need to be in the picture, I use 2 flashes and I use the 4th receiver to trigger the shutter. I love the simplicity. They all can be used as a receiver or transmitter. That's great.I use mine with rechargeable aaa batteries with no problems.On the negative side, these don't lock on the light stands or the camera. It is a nice fit, so the one on the camera does not really need a lock. But I would feel better if these locked when using them on light stands. If the umbrella is facing down, you need to use a flash mount that locks the flash in place. I use the flash stands that came with the flashes so I noticed this as a potential issue although my flashes did not slip yet...I recommend these if you are looking for a simple wireless solution. I hope this helps. 4Happy with this product The Good:1. These are very easy to use and work as advertised.2. I only have one speedlight, so controlling it manually off camera is no big deal for me and these triggers work great with that set up. I'd definitely recommend these triggers for someone with the same situation.3. I also find it much easier to use these as a shutter release than my infrared wireless release because I don't need to have a release pointed at the exact right spot to trigger the shutter with these. I can also be much further away and trigger the shutter as well, which may come in handy at some point.The Not So Good:1, There is no mechanism to lock the tiggers in place either on the camera or on the flash. I have accidentally loosened the trigger on top of the camera while moving the camera around for a shot. But, I'd say that's a minor issue, not a major problem.2. Another minor issue is that the on/off button could be better placed for easier accessibility when a speedlight is attached.3. The biggest issue I've had with it is that the connector on the wire bent very easily within the first couple of uses. It still works, but I was disappointed that it bent so easily and have been trying to find a replacement cord so I can keep a spare "just in case." The last thing I need is for the cord to break while I'm shooting in a foreign country that I may not make it back to. But thus far I haven't been able to find a replacement cord anywhere.Regardless of the minor issues, the good outweighs the bad by quite a bit so I highly recommend these. The ease of use alone for someone like me who is typically a natural light shooter (don't work with speedlights often), is fabulous. 4Great trigger due to price, size, and type of battery required. Rob's review above is great but there are a couple of things I would like to add. The on/off switch is located in a bad position. It is located too near the hot shoe and necessitates that you turn the unit on before you mount a flash on it or use a key or other convenient object to reach the switch. You can bet your last dollar any new triggers made by Yongnuo will have the switch located on the side. This is a minor annoyance and shouldn't cause anyone not to purchase these triggers. On the plus side of things, these are fairly small, so I keep some attached to my flash at all times and a couple more in my shirt pocket. Another plus is that they use readily available AAA batteries. This is great in that some triggers use hard to find "non standard" batteries that are expensive. I have lots of charged Eneloops that I keep in a holder in my camera bag so I don't have to worry with buying batteries for the triggers all the time. 4Sync speed test Since a few reviewers mentioned slow sync speed for this device, I decided to do some tests to see what to expect. My Equipment:- Nikon D7000 camera- Yongnuo YN560-III flash- 2 pairs of Yongnuo RF-603N3 triggers- No-name radio triggers BestDealUSA 4 channe Wireless Remote FM Radio flash Speedlite Trigger w/ 2.5mm PC 2 receiver(for comparison)Since the D7000 can manually sync up to 1/250th, that was my initial test speed.Using each one of the RF-603N3 as transmitters and the the internal receiver in the YN560-III, I was able to use 1/250th with no issues, but no faster.Using one RF-603 as a transmitter and one as a receiver with the YN560-III operating in manual, I could not sync properly to 1/250th. The D7000 could only go to 1/200th without the black bar showing up.Using the no-name triggers and the YN-560-III in manual mode, I could sync cleanly to 1/250th, but no faster.Hope this helps. 5Excellent trigger (flash trigger and shutter release trigger) for such small price I wish I had switched to this sooner. For such a small price, it provides so many functions, the other brand (especially like Pocket Wizard)should feel the pressure and shameful.Pro:1. multiple useful functions: wireless flash trigger and shutter release. which could enable single person to accomplish complex photography job.2. AA battery based!! ( looking for this feature for long time)3. transmitter and receiver in one unit4. 2.4 G wireless spectrum and long range possible ( 100 meter range not tested but most of in-door photography can be done)5. additional hot shoe!! (looking for this feature for long time)6. additional Sync port.7. works great with my Nikon D700 and speedlight SB-700 and speedtron 2403 (with 102 head), Sync speed 1/250 has no issues.Cons:1. No test button; it has to be fixed to the camera and flash and then can be tested to see the connection. For this, I deducted one star.I don't think it's an issue for me but it might be issue for other people relying on TTL. So I have to list it here: it does not support TTL. However for $ 32, that's very sufficient to accomplish most strobist work!!So far I love it. 4
