YONGNUO RF605C Wireless Flash Trigger & Shutter Release 16 Channels for Canon Cameras

I can't believe the price of these and how great they work. I have six of them and use one to control my camera remotely and 4 strobes. I have so much flexibility and reliability.

Sync is more reliable than the RF602's and works good with rechargeable batteries. The RF602 & RF603 were not reliable with rechargeable. Besides I wasted too many AAA batteries forgetting to turn them off. These use grouping so remember to select what group you are using. Uses the same sync cord from the 603 and has the locking feature for the hot shoe mount.

Great for the money!! I use 4 at a time and have had great response time

Works as advertised. I use these as a remote shutter release and to trigger studio flashes. Excellent value for what they are (non-ETTL). If you need ETTL there's the 622C.

I really like these. They work great as a trigger but more importantly they allow you understand your lighting. I assign these to each of any 3-5 strobes. By turning them on separate and firing it allows me to know which light is doing what and adjust. Once I tune each light, I turn them all on and create the photograph. The design is simple and really cheap for what they do.

Only used on two shoots so far, works great. Love the fact it can be used as flash trigger and shutter release. I will be purchasing two more sets soon.

Great little remote triggers. I bought these to compliment the Yongnuo 560 EX II flashes and the 560 TX controller. Now my old flashes have radio trigger capability and I can use one trigger to fire off my Norman 808 power pack. For the price this is hard to beat

I'm using this with a Canon G1X and an old Nikon SB-28 flash. Works great. I've sync'd up to 1/320s so far. It might go higher, but I haven't tried.

Flash triggers works as expected.

I purchased these triggers to fire an old Vivitar 283 and my Canon 430EXII in manual mode via a YN560-TX. They work great, long range, reliable! As a side note, good thing I tested the voltage on the 283 prior to using. It would have fried the trigger most likely, as the voltage on the 283 is right around 100 volts and the triggers only support up to 12. So I still use for the Canon, and I hacked the V283 to manually adjust the power and use it on a cold shoe.

Bought for my son and his review: Very pleased. Easy to operate and reliable after first few uses. Will follow up after some of the test of time. I love yongnuo and have an original YN560 that is still kickin like new. I have switched my lighting completely over to Yongnuo as you can't beat the price and the gear is reliable. I look forward to seeing what they put out in the future.

Seems like they never fail

The 605s work great as remote flash and strobe controllers. I don’t use ttl, and these are perfect for triggering everything I have. Great range, I’ve used at over 200 feet, and easy to set up and use. Inexpensive so when I lose one, I’m not too disappointed!

Works very well! No issues so far!

omg they are better then the cheap ones

These are great for my T3. Easy to set up and so far it all works well. Very decent range. Very good at remote shutter control and also use for off camera flash. I've been trying to figure out how to do off camera flashes since I bought my camera. Since I have a canon T3, I first bought a 90ex as a master controller. With my other canon speedlite, it works well but distance is limited to about 30 ft and I've found no way to control the illumination since it is TTL or nothing. So, I ended up buying two cheapo, manually controlled flash units. I shouldn't say cheapo because I really don't know how to compare the quality of say a $15 flash and canons $200 flash units. To me they all seem to work the same, except for perhaps refresh and continuous shooting and being manual. Anyway though, when it comes to off camera flash, I found these two other flash units were difficult to set up, unreliable, or unworkable. For example, my $15 dbk flash only works if you set up the flash unit and camera in a particular way and only if you are within 3 feet of the camera, and then it's still unreliable. I admit that I don't know much about how the flash syncs to the shutter speed so part of it could be my ignorance. Anyway, these remote flash units worked exactly like I expected. You add batteries, set the frequency and mode, 'transmit' vs 'receive' and you're all set. There is a sync cable you use to control the camera and do remote shooting which my T3 is also lacking at. Just plug this into the camera and set the unit for 'receive' and use the other unit (in 'transmit') to snap the picture. My T3 doesn't have this capability. You have to be tethered in some way to the shutter button. Remote flash works great too. I intend to buy two more units. They're a bit expensive for me but then if I'd know about this solution to begin with I could have saved myself quite a bit of money by buying more inexpensive flashes. I'm not sure about the distance (only tried 40ft so far), but they claim 100m. My only complaints are that 1) the instructions are in pigeon english and not easy to follow. At first, I couldn't tell how the units should be mounted to the camera or the flash unit, 2) it's unclear why you would need different frequencies. I suppose it has something to do with their own brand flash units, 3) I found switching modes a bit confusing although the whole set up is pretty straightforward, 4) if you mount a flash on top of the unit which is also mounted on the camera, this doesn't seem to work. It won't fire at all if the unit is set to 'receive' and if set to 'transmit', it fires off the flash but it's not sync'ed to the shutter so it's like not having any flash at all. However, if you put the flash on it's own unit next to the camera and set it up as a remote flash from the camera, it works fine. It doesn't make much sense though. I mean with just the flash mounted to the camera it works fine but with this unit mounted to the camera and the flash mounted on top, I would think it should also work fine but it doesn't. update: I decided to update this review because there are some confusing aspects of these units. I think I understand it now but I'm curious to see if anyone else has the same experience. The manual that comes with this is (for me) gibberish. Where I was particularly confused was with the 'tx group button' and what this was for. I think it works this way and if someone has a different explanation, please post it. Again, I'm using a canon t3 and some cheap external flashes but I don't think this makes any difference. Each of these units operate in two modes, 602 or 603 and in each of these modes you set the unit to 'tx' or 'rx', or 'tx' or 'trx'. In 602 or 603 mode, you have to set the unit attached to the camera with the sync cable. I don't think it matters if you have the unit mounted to the camera or if you also have a flash mounted to it or not. You have to use the sync cable with 602 or 603 but in 603 you also have to set the sending unit to 'trx', not 'tx'. If it's set to 'tx' it will fire off any remote flashes but not trigger the camera shutter. When set to 'trx' and you have a unit attached to the camera and the camera is ready to shoot, it fires off everything at the same time. This means that you can use any of these units set up to be a slave to fire off the camera; it just has to be set to 'trx', and one unit has to be attached to the camera and the camera ready to shoot. The 'tx group' button is used to change the group on a unit set to 'trx'. That is, the units have both a transmit channel and group which is set when used as a transmitter and also a separate channel and group when used as a receiver. The 'tx group' button is useful if you want to change a unit's group when it's set up to 'trx'. If it's set up properly, any of the 'trx' units can be used to fire off everything. What's not quite clear is what the difference is between 602 and 603. From what I can tell, when you are using 602 to remotely fire the camera shutter, the flash (even mounted to the camera) doesn't go off in sync with the shutter while with 603 it does. This may be just my ignorance with setting the exposure but I couldn't figure out how to get what I wanted unless I used 603. When using the camera shutter directly, you configure the unit attached to the camera to 603 'tx'. The unit has to be mounted to the camera but you don't need the sync cable. I couldn't find any difference between 602 and 603 when I used the camera shutter directly. All the external flashes and the one mounted to the camera go off at the same time. But when using the camera shutter directly, you set the unit attached to the camera to 'tx', not 'trx'. Using as a remote trigger, this also works if you have a unit not attached to a flash. To use it to fire off everything, just set it to 603 'trx'. If you set it to 'tx' it will fire off all the flashes to test but not trigger the camera shutter. Personally, I found it useful when thing weren't working was to check the settings and test the flash with the sending unit set to 603 'tx' and then switch to 'trx'. You just have to remember that the camera has to be ready to shoot and you have to have a unit attached to the camera with the sync cable, otherwise nothing is triggered at all. It's a bit confusing if you don't remember all this.

These are great, I'm an amateur but I've been taking photos for many years, getting back into more portrait work on the side I thought it would be nice to have some wireless triggers, I couldn't be happier. I peeped at the instructions but didn't really grasp any of the info. Just powering them up and hooking them to my camera and off shoot flash I was able to easily trigger the camera or the flashes.. very easy inexpensive exactly what I need for majority of the photography I do.. (single off shoot flash at the moment ) I took these to four locations for portraits indoors and out no issues. You can you use one as a shutter release remote if you want there are a few different setups, I could add a few more flashes or strobes if needed, I like these a lot and they didn't break the bank. (my flash is in manual mode I do all my adjustments on my flash and don't rely on TTL) You essentially set one to TX (transmit) and the other to (TRX) the TX will be the master whether it's set on the camera (typically yes) or not is up to you.. you could set it on the camera and move your flash leaving your camera in one spot (shutter release) it will allow auto-focus (partial clip on the remote button). It's a very simple effective design with some nice features and feedback on the unit.

Great fast service and GREAT product!!!

Works with the Fuji XT1 and efx20 flash.

Works on Fujifilm X-T2.
