I hear you on the batteries going fast, I've had this for a year now and truly love it with my Canon 6D. Thanks for the video, very informative on your review.
Thank you for the comment. I'm glad you liked the video.
I purchased 3 YONGNUO SPEEDLITEs, 3 years ago and the rubber seals Doors are breaking (Disintegrating) apart. Does anyone know how to get fixed or replacements?
You can try service@hkyongnuo.com perhaps after sales service can help.
ATG has approved for the Mark II in USA camera stores.
Now it can work in "Linked Shot" like with ATG & Canon's transmitters.
Thank you very much for review. Very useful and exactly what I was searching for in youtube.
I'm glad it was helpful. Thank you for watching.
I purchased the Yongnuo YN600EX-RT II and YN-E3-RT trigger unit. I love the YN600EX-RT II because it is compatible with the TTL on my Canon 5D Mk IV but I also do manual photography. You I I just can't beat Yongnuo price vs. Canon version. The door where the battery is installed on the flash is much better than the Canon version. I went ahead and purchased another YN600EX-RT II. Hopefully the second order does not come out as a lemon like most of the few negative reviews from Amazon. I also have no problem with wheel selector which I kinda like. You just have to get use to it.
I've not had any problems with my flashes. They work awesome and I plan to buy more. Just for fu I recently did a portrait shoot with the flashes set to TTL. I used the flash compensation and I was impressed with the results. I always do off camera flash in manual. Using TTL was a pleasant surprise.
can u do a long term follow up ?
how does it work with AF focus. I read they red beams linger and show up in the pictures.
I only used focus assist a few times shooting in the dark and the beam didn’t show in my photo. I was using a longer focal length at the time. Other than that I always turned it off.
Good early review @NoProJoe thanks
Does this flash work with the Canon 5D Mark iii
Of course. Should work with any Canon with a hot shoe. Just may not provide all the auto features, e.g. film camera.
I have a yongnuo yne3rt2 trigger which has 4 digit channel but in 600 flash has only 3 digit channel how I connect flash with trigger pls help
Your speed light has to be set to wireless slave mode to enter the ID number. Once in wireless slave mode click the menu button and then click the ID button and enter the code. I hope that helps.
I like the intro
Thanks for the review. I ordered a pair of these flash along with the controller some time ago and they've been sitting in the box since this spring while I dealt with some physical ailments.
On the outside, they are virtually identical to the Canon version. However, the moment you pick it up you can tell the difference in quality. The Canon is far more robust and even has a better quality plastic as well as rubber seals.
The biggest visual difference otherwise is the lens, where the Canon is much more precision cut. Thing is, I bought these flash to serve as support, so they really don't need to be as precise as the Canon to do that, which will still serve as my main flash
Does anybody knows if the Radio YN622C II is compatible with the Canon SL3?
Can it trigger the flash YN600EXRT-II?
I do not believe the 622 trigger is compatible with the 600 flash. “Most” Ettl II devices will work with the sl3 if the firmware is correct for the camera. Flash compatibility is tough. Especially since Canon took out the main pin on some models.
@@NoProJoe Don't mention it! But blow of the pin went bad for Canon. It encouraged the other bands to run to overcome it. Lol
I will try to find more information. This compatibility might be only between the "RT" series.
Thanks a lot friend!
@@emfocofotografia82 anytime, best of luck.
Battery power can be a problem. Many years ago I bought power packs that hold 8 batteries and I also use rechargeable batteries. They plug into the Yongnuo and Canon flashes for sure. Yongnuo has one of these for sale too and is reasonable in price. Well worth the investment. Just an FYI.
The battery packs are a must. Thank you for the 411!
NoPro Joe, the nice feature is if you have both a Canon & Nikon or your friend has one brand and you have another brand camera. You do not have to buy a say Canon or Nikon flash to be setup as wireless TTL Slave.
* Say you have a Canon 580EX II & Yougnuo YN600EX-RT II with a Canon body
Place Canon on hotshoe, then set Yongnuo into ATG's wireless IR ETTL (c)
Set Canon into Master IR ETTL II
Set Youngnuo into ATG's Slave IR ETTL II (c), not Slave ETTL II radio
* Say you have a Nikon SB-910 & Yongnuo YN600EX-RT II with a Nikon body
Place Nikon on hotshoe, then set Yonguo into ATG's wireless IR ITTL (n)
Set Nikon into Master IR ITTL
Set Yongnuo (although it's made for Canon) into ATG's Slave IR ITTL.
* ATG's Slave S1 & ATG Slave S2
This is good when you say using a point & shoot camera that has built-in flash.
S1 is flash when it sees a flash
S2 will flash after the first flash (pre-flash) goes off
Notes:
If you can't see the ATG's pre-flash or lost about it.
You can check & test for the ATG's pre-flash by setting the camera to manual mode.
Then lower the Shutter Speed do to 1 (one second) or more.
Press the Shutter Button.
You will notice a light flash (1st flash) goes off.
Then a second flashes will go off.
The second flash is actually the flash that will be produced onto the sensor (film).
So say you have just taken ten shots with the flash.
But actually you got the flash to fire 20 flashes due to the pre-flash.
The recovery time puts stress onto cheap flash (under $450.00), using white dome /or bounce and beginners love using HSS will do harm to the flash.
If you want to do HSS buy a flash or strobe that will not overheat:
1. ATG Gold MG8k Flash Kim X3
2. ATG/Quantum Qflash T2 to Trio
3. Nissin MG8000 Extreme
4. Metz 76MZ-5
5. Profoto A1
6. ATG Gold series, ATG/Jinbei, ATG/Interfit, ATG/Godox, Profoto & Phottix TTL strobes
Even many pros can't afford these awesome battery portable strobes.
Only the ATG Gold series go up to 1,200ws.
Your are looking at $1,500.00+
I hope that following tips are helpful, is you are a serious flash photographers.
Shooting for hours and still half battery power? That doesn't sound bad at all. It's certainly better than my first digital camera, the Olympus C1: It ate all the power in half an hour! May it rest in peace.
My expectations may be a bit too high. I guess it's not too bad. Comparing it to my 560s it seems to eat the batteries bit faster. Thanks for the reality check.
Great video and photos man! I’ve just used the all the time on lights but I just have a video camera not sure what there called lol but crazy what adding light dose and the light you have it bright!
Your absolutely right. It is amazing what adding light will do to a video and a photograph. Thank you for commenting
Hello sir. Can it be used with Canon EOS RP?
I used them on my R and they worked brilliantly.. I believe the flash assist doesn’t work with mirror less cameras but honestly I never used it anyway.
@@NoProJoe thank you
Hi Joe, nice video. I have a question, is it normal on the 600ex-rtii that when it's turned off but still connected on the hotshoe of the camera that the shutterspeed cannot pas 1/250 like when it's turned on and not on high speed sync ?
I know with my YN600ex-rtii flash the camera does allow me to pass the sync speed with the light off. I tried it on two different Canon cameras and no limit. So there may be something going wrong. Not to sure whats going on.
Yes, Yongnuo overheats. Definitely will do not hold up to to full power flash with Quantum High Voltage battery packs. However, they are 1/4 the price of Canons new vs new. You can use 4 Yongnuo at 1/4 power, you get sub 1 second recycling, MUCH more lighting flexibility. Will EASILY out do any single Canon. Since it is a radio trigger system, you can put the flash units closer to the subject, hence requiring much less power.
Hate to tell you even Canon, Nikon, Sony, Olympus flashes overheat & shutdown.
If you got the money ATG Gold series, ATG/Nissin MG10, ATG/Nissin MG80, Metz 76MZ-5 and ATG/Quantum Qflash T2, Profoto A1 series will not overheat nor shutdown.
But then they way out of many claimed pros photographers' budgets.
You have to expect that there will be compromises when you're paying a whole lot less. Nobody expects a Honda Civic to corner like a Porsche. But if you're traveling from A to B, straight and level, either will do the job. Just keep it within its limits, and you should be fine.
All flashes overheat when you use just the battery in the flash unit itself. If you get a portable flash power pack this will not make the flash overheat and quicker recycle time. I have the old Quantum Compact Turbo that still works great. Die'd on me one time, took it apart and replaced the rechargeable batteries in them and works fine.
great advice. I've used the YN 600s on several shoots and my only challenge has been battery usage. This is more so than any other flash unit I've used. However, as you mentioned the battery backs will mitigate the problem. Other than that these flashes work wonderful. Thank you for commenting.
Sir how I connect 600exrt ii flash with yne3rtii trigger ..
Flash has only 3 digit id while trigger has 4 digit ?
Your speed light has to be set to wireless slave mode to enter the ID number. Once in wireless slave mode click the menu button and then click the ID button and enter the code. I hope that helps.
Hi Joe! Nice video and great informations! I would like to ask you something. I want to buy some YN600EX-RTii and a YN-E3-RT to control them from a Canon 7d.If I want to use two of them in TTL mode and the other two in manual mode, is that possible?Can I control them at the same time from YN-E3-RT? And also when I use them in manual mode can I control their power output from YN-E3-RT, or I have to go to the flashes to change their output power? Thank you!
Yes, you can use two of the yn600s in TTL and two in manual. You can also control them all with the YN-E3 independently. You can set the up in groups of each on their own group. You can change the comp ton the TTL and the outut on the manual flashes. I suggest external battery boxes. Thank you for commenting and I hope the helps.
teacher plz tell me it can be sync as external to a eos 7d camera
You can use the standard EOS easy wireless sys which is line of sight. For the best results using the radio transmitter is best.
Does this flash work with canon eos 77d?
Definitely.
NoPro Joe, were you able to set the flash into "Rel" and "LINK SHOT"?
ATG/Yongnuo only approved less than 10 percents to reduce the cost.
I haven't tried the link shot feature. I've read about it but never looked into trying it. Sorry, not much help there. Thank you for bringing it up. It is listed as a feature. Not sure I'd find it that handy. I've really been loving the flashes using them the old school way :)
Sir I have a yongnuo yne3rt trigger and canon 600exrtII flash I need a second flash can yongnuo 600exrt flash match the power with canon 600 flash..
Is there any sync problem or if I use manual like 1/16 on trigger for both flash so is there any difference in result?
They are almost identical with the exception of build quality. The Canon has a much better build and is weather sealed. Output wise I believe they are very close. Recycle time may be a bit better on the Canon. I've had very good luck with the Yongnuo flashes. Your milage may vary.
@@NoProJoe thank you so much sir...😊😊😊
Hi dose this flush work on canon 2000d
Yes it should work.
I have two 600 EX mk1, will the 600 mk2 flashes work with my current setup? Or will I need a new transmitter?
I've not tried it but from everything I've read they'll work together along with the Canon RTs
I have the Yongnou II flash, trigger and Canon mk1 flash. They all work and link together as specified.
EDIT: Ok, I tried it and it seem the Canon flash has a delay of 1/2 seconds behind the Yongnuo. Could be the batteries since its been stationary for a few month, and my Yongnuos have fresh bateries. Let me investigate and get back.
I have a problem with this flash. sometimes it works fine and sometimes the bulb flashes very dim....any solution?
I've not had that exact problem. However, I was able to fix my recycle times with an external battery pack. It also helps keep the unit a bit cooler under heavy shooting.
ATG suggests to use 4AA Energizer Lithium Batteries with ATG, Quantum or Godox Battery Pack.
Good video. Do they have the Nikon version? I can't seem to find it.
Unfortunately, no they do not. Godox makes a similar setup with TTL and HSS. Heres a link: amzn.to/2Ml16Dl Thank you for commenting.
This can behaves under SLAVE wireless IR ITTL.
You got two choices:
1. Pop-up the flash
2. Mount a Master ITTL flash on hotshoe & set it into Master ITTL
Does this flash has dual compatibility not only workin' on Canon, but also on Nikon?
It's specifically made for canon. If your Nikon has optical aster you can use the yn600 as a slave.
Yes, works wireless flash modes:
1. Slave radio ETTL II
2. Slave IR ITTL
3. Slave S1
4. Slave S2
Meaning you must have a Nikon SB that can do Master IR TTL on a Nikon camera.
I have 4- 560 iv's for off camera use. I thought i heard you say the 560 could be triggered by the 600ex, is that correct? I would like to have an ettl flash on camera and the 560s to pop in some background fill on manual power. Can you tell me if that is possible? Thanks.
Hi I tried it and it did work putting the on camera 600exrtii into master and setting the 560 to S2. However, its optical and I really didn't like the way it worked compared to using the 560 tx and the 560s off camera. Plus you lose the HSS in the 600exrtii when doing this. Once you have control over your flashes its tough to go back. In a studio with controlled lighting I'd say its ok but for an event I wouldn't use the combo. Thats my opinion. I sold my 560 iiis and the 560tx and bought another 600exrtii. So far I'm happy with them. I definitely like the E-ttl for quick shooting. It's not great in all situations but for an event it is perfect especially if you have limited set-up time. I hope this helps. Thank you for the comment.
Probably sorted for you by now, but there is another way for the good old 560's: YNE3-RX, to go with the YN E3 RT ;) Not cheap but still beats buying another flash or selling one that can be more than just a backup in your backpack.
Thank you! I found those after some more searching. However, I decided to sell my 560s and get another yn600. Thank you for the suggestion.
Hello mekiteu w! I would like to ask you, if I want to use YN E3 RT in my canon 7D and YNE3-RX to control YN560 iv, can I control the power of YN560(manual of course) from YN E3 RT or I can only trigger it but I will have to go to the flash(YN560 iv) to change the power outpout? Thank you!
Hi, Please, I need to know if I can manually control YN600EX-RT II with yn560TX..thanks
From what I've read no. I no longer have my 560tx to test it but I'm pretty sure it won't fire it.
Thank you very much
No. It can't be manually control.
Yes. It can only do ATG's wireless IR Slave S1 or ATG's wireless IR Slave S2.
The major benefits on this ATG/Yongnuo over Canon 600EX II-RT and Nikon SB-910/SB-5000 are from ATG's specs:
* Better bang for the money
* ATG's ETTL II (radio in Master & Slave), ETTL II (IR slave), ITTL (IR slave)
ATG's S1 (slave), ATG's S2 (slave), Multi and Manual
* PC Sync Socket
* HV Port for ATG/Quantum/Godox Battery Pack
* It will support ATG/Canon ETTL radio transmitter has a radio ETTL II slave.
* Canon and Nikon systems DO NOT have ATG's S1 and ATG's S2
What the major lacking on all the ATG/Yongnuo, ATG/Godox and most ATG/Nissin are that they DO NOT have ATG Auto2 mode.
i bought this trigger Yongnuo yn-e3-rt ii with two 600 ex-rt ii and in the manual they say that i may trigger Canon 580 ex ii and i tried and négative result , do you know how to do it ? tk you and nice video my friend ! ;))
@blanchon, since the 580EX II doesn't have ATG 2.4GHz built-in, it will not work in radio.
But if you set it into wireless IR ETTL II Slave & YN600EX-RT II into Master IR ETTL, then yes by IR.
Which one is better yonguo 600ex rt ii or Godox tt685c?
I have canon 80d
I heard a lot of things about overheating in younguo 600ex rt ii??
I've never used the Godox thought they look pretty nice. I can say I've never had my yn600's overheat. That being said I don't use them for a lot of high speed sun shooting. I mostly use them for portraits indoors and back lit conditions. I've never had them fail as studio lights. I added external battery packs to up the recycle times. They still need time to recycle but time does vary depending on your flash output. I love using the yn600's with my 80D. You can use the Canon touch menu to adjust everything. It really speeds things up. The Godox may work that way too but I'm not sure.
@@NoProJoe thanks a lot my dear but in this flash 600ex rt ii can I put the settings to the flash by the screen of the camera of canon 80d and how many time I need to take pictures before getting overheated without pack battery?
@@Sky34158 I've never overheated them so I can't say. However, if you flash at full power continuously they will overheat. If the batteries are low they will overheat. Always keep a fresh set of batteries in them. The best part of using these flashes for me was operating them from the flash setting screen on the 80D. When either the a flash is on the hotshoe or the yn-e3-rt controller is installed all you do is push the flash button on the side of the camera and the flash menu comes up. You can set your groups, manual, ETTL, comp, output, etc. It is an awesome feature especially with the touch screen. It is much quicker than using the controller. My 6D has it also but it is buried in the menus. Much more accessible on the 80D.
@Addulrahman Hussien, many speedlites will overheat & shutdown if you use HSS a lots.
Unless you are willing buy ATG, ATG/Nissin, ATG/Godox, ATG/Metz pro flash lines.
ATG's:
* ATG Gold
* Nissin MG8000 Extreme
* Nissin MG10
* Nissin MG80 Pro
* Quantum QFlash T2 to Trio
* Metz 76MZ-5
* Godox AD180 & AD360
Once you attached the ATG Gold, Quantum Turbo or Godox Battery Pack with those mentioned, then you will know why the price is around $1,000.00.
Profoto A1
Those above speedlites can exceed over $1,000.00.
And the ATG 2.4GHz TTL transmitters can go beyond $1,200.00.
NoPro Joe, is showing a good flash for the buck.
But if you are a beginner and expecting it to act like a pro flash then this is not it.
Even the Canon 600EX RT-II & Nikon SB-5000 overheat and shutdown.
Thanks for that info... I did not know the 560's had a built in optical trigger..that would not work for a wedding dance, uncle Bob with the dsl would keep triggering my flashes in s2 mode. The 600's are so cheap i think i will get 3 of them and maybe sell my 560's.
Nels Norquist that's the way I went. I really liked my 560s but I had to let them go 😊
Joe, Can I bother you with one more question? Can you have 3- 600's running with the one on the camera shooting ETTL and the 2 off camera on manual power? Also, can the on camera flash be turned off (no flash) and just transmit the radio signal to the off camera 600's? May sound like a strange question. I like to shoot some wedding dance photos with just my off camera flashes popping and then turn my on-camera back on and use all 3.. If you have time, I appreciate your help. It is tough to find answers to some of these obscure questions..
Ok, I hope I explain this correctly. It's kind of convoluted. With the flash as a master you can fire all flashes ETTL as a radio transmission and with a few clicks of the control button go to on camera ETTL flash alone. If you want manual external flashes I believe you will have to use optical wireless transmission and then click back to ETTL on camera flash. When using the on camera flash as a radio trigger you can wirelessly adjust flash compensation between the units and flash ratio. Optical will be adjusted by walking up to the unit and adjusting it manually. I don't use the flashes that way so this is just from the testing I've done. I use the radio trigger on camera and fire the off camera flashes. If I'm running around I use the flash as an on camera ETTL flash which works very well I might add. I hope this makes sense. One note after using the flashes a little while. Make sure your batteries are fully charged. I've noticed some misfires when the batteries get below ¾ charge. This is not scientific it is just what I have noticed. Your results may vary. :)
NoPro Joe , I finally got smart and found the PDF instruction manual online. It looks like you can use Gr mode to set different groups to different flash modes. So I think I could have the on camera flash on ettl and 2 off camera 600's popping in fill at 1/16 manual power..my standard wedding dance setup..with the broken English of the translated manual the only thing I am not sure about is if this is still using radio transmission. If it is optical or infared it would not work for me. This is such a non typical question I don't think B&H or Amazon customer service would have a clue..if you had a spare minute and could see if this setup is possible I would owe you one! Thanks for all your help.
Yes!! It definitely works the way you want it to with radio transmission. You have to go into the menu a bit but it works. I set B to M at 1/6 and on camera master ETTL flash and it works great. Then you just shut off the off camera flashes with a click of a button. The best part is that all can be controlled through the Canon flash menu. If you want a set-up video let me know. :)
Can the canon internal wireless communicate with this flash when off camera?
Honestly Ive never tried it. I have always used the controller. I'll have to give it a shot.
@@NoProJoe I have the rebel T8i and it has wireless flash control but I can't seem to find anyone using it direct with any flash without a transmitter so I'm very confused. Thanks.
@@CybekCusal I'm going to try it right now on a T6i so it should be similar to the T8i.
@@CybekCusal I just made a video on how to do it. Ill edit it and upload it as soon as possible.
@@NoProJoe awesome!
Hi, do the lamps have a receiver?
Can you activate them with a radio trigger?
yes they are can be controlled with a transmitter.
@@NoProJoe May I have one more question?
I have a Speedlite YN-600EX-RT II and YN 622C II.
I have the lamp outside and the transmitter on the camera. How do I set it up to flash?
@@necu90 The easiest way to control the YN-600EX-RT II is with the YN E3-RT II. The transmitter just mounts to the camera and talks to the flash. You can use the YN 622C II if you mount one of the transceivers to the camera and the other to the bottom of the flash and fire the flash that way. If your camera supports wireless flash firing you can fire the YN 600EX-RT II with your cameras flash system as the trigger. The YN E3 RT II is still the easiest way because the flash is completely controllable from you transmitter. I hope this helps.
@@NoProJoe So 600EX RT II on a tripod + body with YN 622C II will not work? It won't flash? Would you have to have another YN 622C II under the lamp?
And the YN E3-RT II controller would only be enough on the camera to trigger the lamp? I don't know if we understand each other well. I have only one YN 622C II and only one lamp and I'm afraid that this configuration will not work from a distance.
@@necu90 you need the two yn622CII one on the camera and one on the sppedlight. YN E3 RT II is designed to work with the YN600EX RTII as a radio trigger and also can be used to adjust the flash right from the camera.
Do you know how I can do AEB with the flash?
There is a function on the speed light know as FEB (flash exposure bracketing). It works just like your cameras bracketing system. It allows you to take 3 exposures at different exposure values. Its the 3rd top button on the flash. In custom settings you can set it to auto cancel after 3 exposures. By default it will stay on. I've not used the feature but I can see how it would be handy in certain shooting conditions. I hope this helps. Thank you for commenting.
Will these fire without the trigger?
Yes, you can fire it in slave or on applicable Canons ETTL.
Sir....
i m a new youngnou 600EX-RT 2 user...
last 2 wedding used 600EX-RT 2...
and i have faced overheating problems...
PLZZ solve my problem
You need to stop shooting in HSS modes.
Make sure your camera is not set in HSS.
Make sure you shoot on or below F2.8.
Make sure you do not shoot in rapid firing.
Make sure you do not use white dome or bounce.
angelisone.... Thanks a lot sir...
i Follow your instructions...
Prakash Kuber, if you have two of more supported radio TTL, place it very close to your subject when shooting HSS.
We used 25 speedlites for small projects or 15 600ws to 2,000ws TTL strobes when we need HSS.
Remember, its more important with flash to subject than lens to subject when shooting with flash /or strobe.
So say you have flash to subject is 0.5 meter and then you moved subject to exactly 1.0 meter, how much light have you lost in percentage?
If you can do the math, then you are on your way to light up and be making money. So what is the answer?
Go get yourself a battery pack. I use a battery pack when doing a lot of flash photography. The battery pack gives consistent power for the four batteries inside the flash without making the batteries in the flash get overworked which causes them to overheat. Overheating is normal to all flash unit that only uses just the batteries that are installed inside the flash unit.
@@beerborn Or just give it a rest. Any flash can overheat when pushed hard enough.
So, what's the update? Still like the strobes?
Yes I do. They have been great. External batteries were a good addition. It really helps with heating up and recycle times. I definitely like them a lot. Thank you for asking.
NoPro Joe
External batteries? Do you mean a battery pack with an adapter to the strobe? Do you have a link to it? I have a Canon 600 and have looked for one. Thanks for the responce
I used these. amzn.to/2vH2EUw
The ratings aren't great but I thought for the price how could I go wrong. They work pretty good.
do you know it would work well with 5dmk4?
They should work just fine on a 5D MKIV.
works fine as one would expect, with the remote trigger or directly on the camera
You are meant to use lithium batteries.
I believe I miss spoke. I meant Ni-MH. Thank you for pointing that out.
@@NoProJoe Or alkaline.
Can you use this flash as a Slave?
Definitely. You can use it in commander/slave mode. Most Canons support it.
Boş muhabbet.
Does this flash work with the Canon 80D?
Definitely. Here is a link to some shots taken with the combo www.flickr.com/photos/132573089@N02/albums/72157672435832048/with/41229361601/
It works just fine with my old Canon film camera.
Does this flash work in a Canon t6? Thanks
Yes it will work on a T6. I tried it on one and the TTL worked great.
