![]() The controls look the same as the 560iii but the on/off is now a switch as opposed to the rather annoying press and hold button on the 560iii.Īpart from the back controls, there is a slot on the side to take 2 x AA batteries (great, same as the flash). It fits well onto the camera with a plastic tightening screw that is easier to use than on the flash. It is also pretty big - basically roughly the same size as the 560iii without the flash head - it is actually about 1cm taller (to make room for the larger LCD) and 1cm thinner. If you look at it, the controls bear a remarkable resemblance to the ones on the 560iii. Its construction is the same quality as the Yongnuo 560iii which I think is extremely good for the price point. It comes in a cardboard box with an A4 sized piece of paper that is the manual. So why do I think it is so good for a product that really does no more that is written (or not) on the box? Well read on. It doesnt do anything magical like bring HSS or TTL to the flash of course. It also allows you to control power direct and zoom of each individual flash directly from the transmitter and has 6 groups. This makes use of the 560iii flash built in receiver with saves a whole lot of extra batteries, connections and general flash grief. Act as a transmitter solely for the 560 iii manual flash. I suspect everyone reading this basically knows what the unit is supposed to do. Subscribe to see EXIF info for this image (if available) Unlikely, but given that I as a dual-system/Canon shooter am still waiting for the damn YN-622C-TX to arrive, it's worth gossiping about. The final icing on the cake would be if the YN-560TX had a USB port for firmware updates, and whether or not it can do adjustable timing for "supersync" ("tail sync", "hypersync" for faster-than-sync-speed shooting) with manual lights. It got removed on the RF-603s, and was not reinstated with the RF-603IIs, despite numerous early reports that it had. The RF-602s used to have this, and I find it incredibly useful for when I feel like going Strobist with a P&S and an optical slave. My big question about the YN-560TX is whether or not it has a PC input port. Any other listings, or any other sellers, and I take availability and pricing with a big grain of salt. I somehow don't think the manual YN-560TX will be much more than that.Īnd if you loathe the 'bay, probably the best storefront to grab YN gear, if you don't mind getting stuff shipped from China, and can't wait for it to be available in the US is. Hell the TTL transmitter, the YN-622N-TX is only $55. ![]() Most guesstimates are sometime by the end of July, and in the sub-$100 price range. If you read a bit farther down in the Flash Havoc thread, you'll note that there's someone out there pretending they're Yongnuo, and hiking up the prices pre-release. ![]()
