Hi, I'm getting 4 of these shortly for canon. Is the cable shutter release shown on your video really necessary? What is the cable's purpose? I intend mounting the transceiver on my camera hotshoe and another receiver on the off camera flash.

[froshmasta]

@billywhizzy

I've never messed around with the cable release stuff. The way I think it works is you can use one of the transceivers as a wireless shutter button by triggering another transceiver that is plugged into your camera via the cable.

I just use them as wireless flash triggers like shown in the video and they work very nicely.

@froshmasta Many thanks...I've finally found someone on youtube who could get this puzzle clear. Keep on posting!!

[dulow]

Thank you sir, for this cool review, answered all my questions about this unit!

[eddie918]

The difference in models of the rf 603 is just for the different remote shutter release cords of different camera brands and within brands the specific models

[OranjeBoven21]

Do you think it should work on my d3100? I have the sb 700.

Thanks,

[froshmasta]

@OranjeBoven21

Double-check with the seller but I'm pretty sure that would work fine, yes.

Hi I realize on ebays got 3 type of RF 603 N1, N2, N3?? Which type did u bought last time?? Why say so surely can use on any brand of nikon, if buy nikon type.. So confuse.. May advice please?? thanks very much..

[froshmasta]

@blacksunday98

I don't remember anything about n1 n2 or n3 models. I bought the kind that said it was for Nikon cameras. They Nikon type should work across all Nikons because of the layout of the electrical connectors being standard to Nikon cameras and flashes.

I have no idea if it would trigger any other models but I doubt it.

I think Canons have a different pattern of electrical connections and the Nikon triggers would not work with them.

@froshmasta

Oo ic, Thx very much bro.. how i support u in Youtube? Cos im the newbie in youtube? or jus subscribe ur video will be??

[blacksunday98]

And did this is reli 15 channel of its?? Where to set the channel?? Can its trigger other model of the RF(YangNuo Model Trigger)??

[blacksunday98]

Hi did this RF 603 speed sync with the D90 and SB800?? Its can work in any model of Nikon and Canon body too?? Thanks for giving a good advice..

[jaysonandreijeramie]

hi,.is this universal? is this work on Nikon d7000 and yn560 flash?

[froshmasta]

@jaysonandreijeramie

Really specific questions should be directed to the seller. I'm pretty sure the 'nikon' style ones will work on any modern nikon camera and any nikon compatible flash. I've only personally used them with my own nikon d40 camera, sb-700 speedlight, and yn-460-II flashes.

[bulldogg187]

@jaysonandreijeramie i recently bought the rf-603n. I didn't know that you have to make sure you choose the right version: N1-3. When i got mine i got the one for the d7000. i have a d300s. Make sure you order the right one for your camera or you won't be able to fire your camera remotely. Hope this helps

[lmj4life]

i love your accent going to canada in jan.! haha love the video though well informative

[froshmasta]

@lmj4life

Be forewarned that most people in Canada don't sound like me, I'm a rural hillbilly type of guy. Enjoy your visit to Canada, eh?!

[lmj4life]

@froshmasta well i am canadian but i was raised in florida.

[lblockst]

Short & useful review. Get's right to the point. Thanks.

[MrsOneWattle]

"Poverty Wizard" I love that!

[didoo68]

My Canon 50D has a sync 1/250 th, but with the RF 603 I do not exceed 1/200th. If I exceed this limit, I have a black band on the picture

[BuffoonCinema]

1/640 hi speed sync? Great stuff if it works for Canon.

[froshmasta]

@BuffoonCinema

It's entirely possible that 1/640 was some kind of magical fluke number. Your mileage may vary. For $30/pair they're worth checking out even for a 1/250th or 1/300th sync though.

[thekalaharis]

thanks!

[ComiXDude]

will it fire without mounting it to the camera?

[froshmasta]

@ComiXDude

Not sure what you mean... The flash will fire by optical triggering without being attached to the camera but the radio triggers need one unit on the camera. That's where the signal originates from to be sent out across the radio waves to the other unit which receives it and tells the flash to fire.

[ComiXDude]

@froshmasta that's what i wanted to know thanks :)

[ComiXDude]

@froshmasta that's what i wanted to know thanks :)

[netpyrate]

1/600th shutter speed? really? wow.. ordering it right now..

[froshmasta]

@netpyrate

Your mileage may vary. The d40 is known for high-speed syncing talents.

[Integritydesign]

good review,... right to the point! thanks for posting.

[froshmasta]

@Integritydesign

And thank you for watching!

[kwanyinx]

Thanks for not having a long long long boring boring unboxing. Straight to testing is great!

[froshmasta]

@kwanyinx

You're welcome :)

I hate those long boring ones too. Most people know how to open a box or some plastic packaging anyway.

[djnapster22]

1/640 how come?

[froshmasta]

@djnapster22

Simple: I wanted to see how fast a shutter speed I could get away with. When shooting with a model I usually stick to slightly lower shutter speeds to allow for some ambient light as well.

[djnapster22]

@froshmasta because from what i know 1/250 sec is the fastest u could go unless your using pocket wizard that support highspeed sync



[froshmasta]

@djnapster22

I've read that before too. I'm no expert at all but I'm managing to sync with the flash at higher speeds than 250 consistently. I was testing for this video and kept bumping the speed up and trying it. above 640 it wouldn't sync at all but below that it seemed to. I know from my minimal photo shoot experience that it'll sync at 320 all day long with no trouble. The higher you go the more chance of misfire of course but for $30/pair these triggers make me pretty happy.

[djnapster22]

@froshmasta igot you.. im sorry i missunderstand:) i ordered mine and its on its way.cant wait. thanks for the video review

[froshmasta]

@djnapster22

No prob! I'm glad to share my discoveries.

[thestuffz]

[froshmasta]

@thestuffz

Yessir, pretty neat little toys.

[BoomaOwl]

Wow. Now I can set a few up on balloons and tie them together then make fake UFO videos! Life goal complete!
