Hi. Great unboxing !! You've given answered to many questions that i've been searching for... There is still not much info about 603s around.

Is there any way to trigger flash with TRX offshoe. I saw that it's not possible right away, but i hope there is some trick to do that.

Good job :)

@nomislaw No, there's no dedicated "test" button to trigger off camera. That's an important feature that they didn't implement. The next best thing to do is connect the 603 to the camera hotshoe, wake up the camera to initiate connection to the 603 and then press the 603 button to send a "test" trigger to the remote 603s. Not ideal but it works.

Thank you so much for the video. My question is, what if I have a set of these and am controlling a flash but the guy next to me also has these and is controlling his flash with his. We were actually controlling each others flash. Any help would be so appreciated.

@inspirationimages what is the secure mounting foot? it's strictly necessary?

I got a bunch of RF-602's and they're great. The farthest i've use it was about 30 meters and it was working just fine. I see no real need to upgrade to the 603's. Good to see them working on making it even beter then it already was.

Only downside with the 602's is that there is no way to lock it down on top of the camera. Mine has fell off a few times.

hi, does the camera trigger function does half press auto focus? thanks

[geonlansis]

It can be used to trigger other flashes, but also be used as a camera remote?

This works really good but don't forget IT DOES NOT HAVE A SECURE MOUNTING FOOT, so if you are planning to use it get couple of hot shoe with locking screw!!! i dropped from 3mt high and still working but not my sb-800 ;(

Just a note.. do NOT buy no-name rechargeable batteries off ebay . These days they barely hold any charge.. like 1/4 of what you would get from something at Walmart. Always get brand name for reachable batteries. Also my aftermarket Canon battery holds very, very little charge. I had 2 of them run out in the middle of a wedding and lost video footage. Always get a Canon brand battery if you're serious about your batteries not running out.
