Anybody know of any reviews of the Yongnuo YN-622? It's for sale on ebay but I can't find any reviews for it. It looks promising but I don't want to buy it without some input.

Its not hands on yet AFAIK but more details than on the yongnuo site.
I just sprung for these and YN-565EX on thephotogadget.com
the YN622 was only $98, the ones I saw on ebay were $10 more...

Yeah, I saw that already. I'd like to see some real hands on with it though. Would love to hear your opinion on it when you get it. It seems like a good option for me but as I said, I don't have the cash to just try it out. It needs to what I need it to. I had read somewhere that it wasn't going to have a test button but I'm glad to see it got added. Overall it seems like a good choice but we just need more info on it before we buy it.davidosullivan said:

There is a guy on a different forum who just got his today, and he said he will try and post a video review tonight. I'll post the link if he does.

Totally agree! I have their 602 triggers, 468 and 460 flashes which have worked flawlessly for almost 2 years now. I recommend them to non-pro friends looking for cheaper gear.

my only yongnuo product is a yn-560, and i've had zero problems with it. also, it was like $60, and is a fast recharging, quiet, and powerful flash that can be triggered optically by a flash using either manual or ettl. can't beat it for the price.

You know, I'm curious, they say this can't be used to trigger a camera trigger. Could you not use the PC port to do this? Is it because it would mess up the camera or that it's not a contact closure mechanism?

Absolutely. this will be my first yongnuo purchase, and I can't afford for them not to work either. thephotogadget website says they will do a quick test to make sure the unit they ship is functioning if you ask them to in the notes.
I don't expect they will check every function but at least makeing sure you don't get a DOA unit helps.
It can't hurt anyway!

Speaking of the yn-560. Does anyone know what amount of control you'll be able to have with something like that with this product. Will you be able to change the power of it from the camera? If so, that makes those a huge bargain.keithfullermusic said:

i would guess that no, it will only work as a trigger, but it has an optical trigger, so you don't even need one. thats not the fault of the yn-622, its just that the yn-560 is made to be a simple/cheap/powerful flash and it doesn't have that capability built in.
I'd like to point out that i'm not 100% on this, but that is my guess.

My 622's and yn565ex came today.
I can say yes they work, beautifully.
The build quality of the triggers and flash is much better than I was expecting, I had played with an old yn460 flash and it was terrible. These feel easily on par with the canon. Set up is super easy, the triggers just worked out of the box. Now I just need to get another set to use with some other flashes as well!
I love having Manual control from the camera, without having to adjust at the flash. ;D
I have only tested in my living room so far so can't comment on range etc yet but I am very pleased.
anyone in AUS wasnt to buy a 430 exII ?

I don't have much expeirance with flashes so..
I had 60D nad YN-568 and as I remember I was able to put the flash in the slave mode and fire it up from the camera. The camera had buit in wirelles flash control.
I saw this YN-622 came up. I plan on buying 5D Mk III, but I still don't quite understand the flash part.
I understand one can put YN-622 on 5D mark III and use it as a trigger, but do you have to have it on each flash?
For example, if I had three flashes, would I have to put it one each flash and on camera? ...a bit confused.

Yes, it's not using the infared signal. It's sending a 2.4ghz wireless signal. I just ordered a pair last week. I'll try to post something once I've had a chance to use it some.mirekti said:
