Hi All,
I have a disaster yesterday when on a shoot with a mate. My wireless triggers failed me. Fortunately it was just a testing session with 2 mates of mine, so no harm done. I used my mates Nikon SB600's on TTL to get something out of the evening, but I have never run via TTL before so I was farting around trying to workout how TTL works rather than getting the real testing done.
So, I am looking to see if anyone else has RF602's and has had the same problem. I run two Yongnuo Receivers and 1 Trigger and Yonguno YN560 flashes.
I tested them a few days a go and found that they wouldn't fire. The LED on the 602TX Trigger wasn't lighting up when I pressed the top button, so I assumed the battery was dead. Quite possibly if something was resting on the button when it was in my bag.
So I replaced all the batteries in both of my receivers and my trigger and fool me I didn't test them before I went out. The 602's have been a great trigger system up to now, but they still did not fire. The 602TX Trigger lights up, I get a green LED if I half press the top button and a Red one when it is fully pressed.
But, the flashes still do not fire. They fire if I use the on camera flash to trigger them via the infa-red sensor, so it is not my flashes.
I have no ideas why it won't work, I was wondering if anyone has had the same issues with the 602's. It looks like i'll have to replace them, but i'm not sure whether to bother with 602's again.
