Expanding my speedlight set up.

[Blasted]

Hi there,

I've been having a think about expanding some of my kit and developing my lighting skills. I currently have a 7D and a 430EX II.

Firstly I wanted to add some ettl triggers and have seen the Yongnuo YN-622C Wireless TTL Flash Trigger at around £60. Then I thought while I'm at it why not add a couple of extra flashes. To that end I looked at the YONGNUO YN568EX TTL High-Speed Sync Flash for about £125.

So what I'm asking is , would a couple of these flashes be any good or should I look at other makes, secondly, how will they team up with my 430ex II and thirdly how will it play with the wireless triggers?

Thanks for any input you can offer.

I'm in the same boat as yourself, I have a set of the Yongnuo YN-622C triggers and a 580EXII currently, was intending on getting myself another two YN-622c's and two YN568EX's to have a play with as the overall cost is cheeeap!

Not sure at the moment if I may get away with the slightly cheaper speedlights though as I won't be using TTL while shooting off camera...

Yes.

or should I look at other makes,

No, not for anything like YN money.

secondly, how will they team up with my 430ex II

Perfectly. And that's thirdly.

and thirdly how will it play with the wireless triggers?

Fourthly. See thirdly

Benjamin, if you study the Yongnuo YN622C user manual, you should find all the answers to your questions. There is a huge thread on this. http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=432936
