Hi Folks.
I have been looking in to getting a pair of second hand Canon 600EX-RT flashes and so far I can't find any that meet the criteria of having all the original items included at a sensible price so the Yongnuo came to mind.
I have read both of the manuals and I see that the YN-E3-RT has the port for the camera remote cable N3 and mentions that it can trigger the camera, either via the hot shoe for newer cameras or via the port with the N3 cable for older cameras, what I cannot find is any mention in the YN600EX-RT manual that it can be used to trigger the YN-E3-RT (or another YN600EX-RT when used as a master)?
I am now thinking that this feature might only work when the genuine canon 600EX-RT flashes are used in conjunction with the YN-E3-RT.
So the question is, can anybody tell me if the Yongnuo YN600EX-RT and YN-E3-RT (or another YN600EX-RT when used as a master) combination can do the remote camera trigger trick?
Did I just miss the section explaining it, did I miss it due to translation losses, ??? or does Yongnuo call this function by a different name in the YN600EX-RT manual from the naming in the YN-E3-RT manual. :
Yes I understand that they may overheat quicker than Canon units, or not last as long, but I'm unlikely to earn money from them and they are probably more reliable at getting the shot than I am, plus 2 flashes and the E3 unit are less than half the cost of 1 new canon 600EX!
Thanks in advance for any help or clarification anyone can offer.
Cheers, Graham.
