Guys I want to be able to adjust the power settings of two speed lights wireless what's would you recommend for me to buy start off with the cheapest first I was looking at yonguno but not sure what I need thanks guys
 
Not sure phill I was thinking of yonguno flashes as well but don't no what I need do you get what I mean and sorry if I am writing stuff wrong I'm on me phone
 
Ok phill I have a yn560-11 but I'm gathering I can't use anything to control power as it is a manual flash
 
If the flash will do TTL when it is on the camera, then you should be able to use the YN622 triggers and receivers to control the power remotely. The YN622 trigger system talks to the flashes as if they were on the camera so they don't need a remote capability themselves (but they do nee dto have a TTL on-camera capability as the YN622s use this function to turn the power up and down - so a completely manual YN460-II would not work here for example). I use my SB900's like this. You can get the YN622-TX and YN622 receivers for both Nikon and Canon now. (YN622N and YN622C respectively..) The transmitters are about £40 and the receivers £25 each.

You're right, you can't control that remotely, you'll need ETTL flashes* and controllers**. Or maybe the YN560III (£50) and the new controller for that.

* the YN468exII is about £50, the 565 from £70, the 568 has HSS for £110.

** YN622's are the cheapest, other makes are available but might not work with the cheaper flashguns, it'd take some research - but as the Yongnuo stuff works together flawlessly and is cheap, why bother?
 
That's what I mean I want to buy 2 ttl flashes and triggers to control the powers of them
