Non Nikon flash for yn622n and tx

sep9001 · 1 Jan 2016

Hi

Happy New Year to all.

Anyone successfully using a non Nikon flash with the yn622n system?

Looking online both the yn565ex and the sb800 which I have, have issues with the triggers.

Apart from the yn568ex what other non Nikon flash options do I have?

Thanks

Kev

Hello Kev, I've got those triggers and I use them in conjunction with the YN-622n TX controller, http://www.amazon.co.uk/YONGNUO-YN-..._cp_421_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=0DE9JRRJDYMM5Z20EM1Y on my SB-800's with no issues. What problem/s are you having?

Brian,

I feel when the triggers are in TTL they do not give the same output. Looking online I have seen a number of post where they state that the triggers do not work correctly with the SB800.

Thank you

Kev

I book marked this tutorial http://davidcarrico.blogspot.co.uk/search?updated-max=2014-06-29T10:52:00-05:00&max-results=7 and refer to it every now and then, perhaps it may answer some of your problems.

Yes, that's exactly how I approach my units. Never failed yet but I am using the controller.

Thank you, will give that another go. Sorry do you have a light meter to see what readings you get with the flash and triggers in manual? I know that the light meter does not work correctly whilst in TTL due to the pre flash.

I do have a light meter but I've not used it. I tend to shoot and see.

Cool, no problems.

I will have a play with both the SB800 and the 565 today as see how I get one. Will try and follow the post on the link you have provided.

Thank you, have a good day.
