I can't comment on these. Why? Because you can't use them as flash triggers without the right cable, and that is NOT the cable they include in the kit. It''s bloody stupid

estos disparadores funcionan bastante bien con mis flashes Yongnuo YN560 IV, un poco de problema de comunicación con el flash SB700 de nikon pero finalmente fue cosa de configuración en le flash para que se entendiera con el disparador, jala perfecto. recomndable el producto y el vendedor muy al pendiente del envio 100% recomendable.

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.

Très bon produits multi-usages.Récepteur/Émetteur et télécommande (attention le vendeur avait oublié le câble nécessaire pour ma part).Ils fonctionnent très bien avec l'ensemble de mes flashs. Ils permettent même une fois montés sur l'appareil de supporter un flash contrairement à d'autre trigger.Seul défaut constaté, une fois le flash monté, l'accès au bouton On/Off est impossible. Peu pratique lors de la mise en place pour économiser les piles.Sinon RAS. Très satisfait, le prix et la qualité sont très bon pour ceux qui seraient comme moi au départ retissant aux produits chinois.

Trigger fenomenali.. ottima qualità prezzo. Li ho provati fino a una cinquantina di metri e funzionano benissimo. Entrambi funzionano da transiver e reciver.L'unico difetto che ho riscontrato è la posizione del pulsante di accensione . Infatti quando si usa uno dei Trigger come ricevitore e quindi lo si collega al contatto caldo del flash ,quest'ultimo impedisce l'accesso a questo pulsante e quindi bisogna prima accendere il Trigger e successivamente collegare il flash . Faccenda un pò scomoda soprattutto se usate il flash off camera e se dovete posizionare il flash con uno statico mentre preparate tutta l'attrezzatura .. comunque in conclusione sono dei prodotti eccezionali e svolgono perfettamente il loro dovere . Li consiglio vivamente ..

Anything from Yongnuo is awesome. They make really quality products, and these triggers do no fall short of that standard. These work really well and are extremely responsive just like their more expensive professional counterparts.Pros:--Solid construction. Most items like this within this price range are pretty chincy.--Hot shoe fits quite snugly around flash/camera hot shoe. Most items like this within this price range often have loose fitting shoes.--Nice decent weight. It doesn't feel like I'm going to break the thing.--Has a shutter button on each Xmitter. Most items like this within this price range do not.--Has 2 types of sync ports for most types of studio strobes. Most items like this within this price range do not accommodate that.Cons:--You set the channel with dip switches *inside* the battery compartment. That's ok for studio strobes, but if you're a speedlightstrobist it leaves you no flexibility. Hope you like having all your speedlights on the same channel.--Once your flash is mounted on the transmitter, it is impossible to turn the unit on or off.--The seller mentions sync speeds up to 1/320 "in some situations". NO WAY. My camera's extended sync speed is 1/320 andabove when using a compatible TTL flash. This unit does not support TTL. My camera's native sync speed is 1/250, but this unitcan't keep up above 1/200. I still get the black bar at the bottom of the frame at my camera's sync speed.All cons set aside, I give this five stars due to construction, quality, and price. If super budget and well made triggers are what you need then look no further. Until Nikon and PocketWizard come up with a way to control flash settings directly from PocketWizard receivers, there's no need to spend hundreds of dollars, especially for studio stuff where you are the only photographer.

Zu diesen Funkauslösern wurde schon viel geschrieben. Ich kann diese positiven (Reichweite, Preis, AAA Batterien) und negativen (verdeckter Einschalter, Synchronisationszeit 200/s und fehlender Stativanschluss) Eigenschaften nur bestätigen. Meine Modelle erreichen ca. 200m Auslöseentfernung. Insgesammt ein preiswerter Satz Funkauslöser, wenn einem die Sychronisationszeit reicht.
