Yongnuo flashes

[ams99]

Hi all,

I'm currently using a Yongnuo YN465 off camera via a cable attached to my hot shoe. I am now looking to extend my lighting options with an additional unit. My question is:

Will a YN 560 II fire at the same time when it sees the light from the YN465?

Thanks,
Alan

I think that they can use the canon flash sync system as a commander but I wouldn't think that they can use the 465 system, unless it can be used as a commander too.
I would get a cheap non ETTL trigger system tbh

Thanks Matt.

Im not looking for ETTL i want to simply set the flashes manually. I just wondered whether the 560 II would operate simply be seeing the flash from the 460??

Mine does, set on either S1 or S2, but I tend to use R602 wireless triggers.

Brilliant. Thanks Adrian.

Just ordered the 560 III.
