I know I'm a visual learner and after getting my YN560-TX and twin YN560 IV to start using I was dreading going through reading manuals for the transmitter and flash units on how to do anything with their setup and sync. This video got me up and running in minutes and I thank you greatly for that! I've got them both synced to to the transmitter and each in their own group for individual configuration. Great video!
Just bought two Yongnuo 560III's with the TX myself so I can have an affordable Off-camera lighting setup. It is a fantastic option for photographers trying to avoid burning a hole in their pocket. This guide was extremely helpful and thorough. thank you very much!
Alberto Santos at $100aud ea, even if one breaks down after a year or so, its worth it. I have 3 also. had a 568ii fail after 12 months though, so I hope these do last a little longer.
Nice! Yeah they are super affordable. How are yours on battery life? I did a 3 hour shoot the other day, and noticed that one of them burned out half way through my shoot with fresh batteries. It was really hot outside though (about 90 degrees), so maybe the heat is a big factor in that?
Can't see what's so complicated. Really straight forward and clearly explained video on how to use these. Grouping always sounds difficult but once you've done it a couple of times, it's easy peezy. I'll be looking out for a set.
Thanks for this video. You have clearly defined how to activate the flash with the YN560-TX - I was having difficulty performing the activation. Thanks again
I just tested my YN 560 gear and flash controller today ! Wow worked great did a 2hr photo shoot used Good rechargeable batteries in the flash and regular batteries in the flash controller 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽 definitely buying another flash !!
For those of you that have 560 III and don't see a group icon on your flash. DO THIS: * Make sure both the TX and your strobe are turned on. (I would do each strobe one at a time if you have more than one) * Now on the TX, press the Zoom/CH and Hz/FN buttons simultaneously. * The 560III strobes screen should show a scrambled screen as shown in the instructions. Press the OK (center button on the multi-selector) on the strobe. * On the strobe you should now see a new Gr [ ] box under the Ch [ ] box showing the strobe assigned to group A. * To change the Group on the strobe, press the MODE and Flash/wireless buttons simultaneously (the two buttons with GRP between them. * Use the up/down multi-select buttons to cycle through the groups.
Bought a yongnuo yn560 III from you guys last week, it arrived today, along with the TX controller, it works like a dream; i have kaavie triggers which are terrible, they misfire so much, go out of range within mere feet, so practically useless in realworld shooting, but already this unit has impressed me, and until my rf603's arrive, i will be triggering my other yongnuo speedlight (yn460 II) optically, which also seems to work faultlessly. Personally i think calling these "disposable" is an injustice, most speedlights are made in china anyway, so all these "concerns" about quality are not really valid.
What if you want to have an on camera flash as well? Do you have to have the controller on the hot shoe in order for it to work? This would be convenient if I could keep the controller in my pocket and change the settings, without having to have it on camera.
Good video, you should have mentioned that there is no group 'All' function which separates firing all flashes from individual groups. For example if you had 4 flashes on separate groups, to test the value of each flash individually without the others interfering, you would have to turn off all other three flashes rather than just being able to fire the flash in the selected group.
Just purchased this and was struggling with the settings. After watching this video I'm more lost than I was before. I want to get started on using one flash light is there no other more basic videos that show you how to set up this speed light on your camera.
+Sasha Davis This video is aimed more toward the wireless remote control features of these lights. If you are using a single non-TTL yongnuo speedlight start with it in M mode and around 1/8 or 1/16 power. Take a couple test shots and go up or down from there.
These are great,you can get 7 of these for the price of a Nikon 900.Only thing some people might miss is TTL.Who really needs that.Get a YN560-TX controller take a shot then if you need more,or less power change it from the camera positionYou dont need TTL,if you know what your doing.
Thanks for your Video! Unfortunately my tx-ll can't control the flash(560-lll). It can receive the sign and flashes but i can't change the power or zoom. Don't kbow which one is wrong flash or transmitter 🤔
Can this combination of trigger and flashes(yn3 and yn4) used for any brand like nikon,canon etc?or the trigger is made only for a particular camera brand?
Thanks for the video , I originally gave up trying to connect the tx to the 560iii ! I didn't know the activation sequence! Ps I also had to reset the tx to default as I must have previously messed up all the settings. Also looking for a foot adapter to fit the tx to Sony A7... cameras , is there such a thing ?
Do you happen to know if I have 5 of these that I can set them up as follows: Camera set for 20 second exposure for dark night sky shooting where I want to also capture the lights spaced away from me to light up areas while my long exposure is in progress: Flash 1: mounted on my camera set to transmit and have the flash off so it does not emit any light, it just signals the others to fire when I fire my camera. Flash 2: set up 10 feet away on receive mode that will have a 15 second delay and then fire. Flash 3: set up 20 feet away with a 16 second delay Flashes 4 & 5: Set up 30 feet away and both fire after 17 second delay.
Can you also adjust the flash power on the flash unit when using the YN560-TX controller, or can you only set the power at the camera on the controller? Sometimes I'm triggering remotely using a CamRanger while I'm standing by the flash unit, away from the camera which is on a tripod and I'd like to be able to adjust the power at the flash.
Great video tutorial, thanks! For anyone who might be able to help... I'm trying to set up dual flash for macrophotography. I just purchased the YN 560-TX and corresponding YN 603 C II receivers for my EOS Rebel T1i. I have two Canon 90EX Speedlite units. I can successfully trigger the flash to fire with this Yangnuo setup, BUT as I proceed to manually adjust the flash output on the 560-TX transmitter, the resulting flash output from the speedlite units did not change. I tested and mounted my ring flash, MR-14EX on the YN 603 CII receiver to try, and again, I was not able to get the resulting flash output on the MR-14EX to change accordingly. I'd really appreciate your expertise and feedback. Thanks. Kevin
When i read comments here..looks like he never answers, so don't waste your time next time:) I just try to watch next youtuber because i don't see i get answer if i ask something!!!
So this system doesn't support TTL right? You need to get the certain flashes and a different transmitter/receiver set to use the TTL function correct?
hello. i have i Nikon d610. i booth one yn560 VI a year ago, and i just booth another VI and the transmiter TX.. for some reasons the old one doesn't Connect to the TX. any sugesttion? thanks :(
Hi I willing get the YN 560 TX My camera is Nikon D750, and the website tell me it is for canon Is it available for Nikon? Or it is work with both of them?
For some reason, pressing the zoom/ch + Hz/FN buttons together would not activate my flashes. I had to press the mode + zoom/ch buttons together on the TX in order to get my flashes to sync to it.
I have 2 yn560iv and the yn560tx. When I change the mode so the flash does not fire "--" the tx and the flash both show "--" but when I hit the test button, they both still fire. Also one of my flashes has the red front led that flashes and the other does not. Any ideas? Thanks
Hi. Im new to flash photography. I have two questions: 1. What is the difference of using "YN560 III 's and YN560-TX" kit with "YN560 IV 's and YN560-TX" kit. Is the later kit any better or can do any more things? I myself dont really see any difference between the two kits if using the same setup in this tutorial (all flashes are off-camera) 2. YN560IV = YN560III + YN560-TX, correct? If so, what's the benefit of using the YN 560-TX instead of using YN560 IV as a YN-560TX ? Thanks
+Emily T In my opinion the difference between 560 and 560 iii IV are minimal. the 560IV has a transmitter also included, along with the receiver among other little things. So if you're working with a 560III flash in the hot shoe of your camera, you will have to work with a shutter speed below of 1/200 or 1/250 depending on the camera and you can not use another flash remotely unless you have this other flash set to slave mode triggered by light. But if you have a 560 IV in your hot shoe you can work with other flashes using the radiotrasmisor in 560IV. Of course if radio frequencies are supported. then the 560IV synchronizes the manual settings you make in the other compatible flashes remotely. Remember that these flashes are manual and have only one pin on the hot shoe mount. The firing pin. and taking into account work under 1/200 on your shutter speed. This is why it does not matter if you use the TX with 560III or 560 IV. i hope this help you!
Pritam Bagchi It can trigger It but It can not control flash output and for getting It to work you Will need a rf603 to receive the signal from the 560 Tx
the gear i talk about in this post is: Nikon D300 Nikon Speedlight SB 600 YN 560 IV *for this set up, you will NOT need the YN 560-TX. first of all. kudos to YN for making lighting so affordable for photographers that don't have the big bucks. now, in addition to what RM Photography posted, you have a couple of options: 1 - buy the RF 603 II for your Nikon flash (it cost a couple dollars more than the rf 603, but you can use the other receiver as a Shutter release if you don't have one) 2 - Since the YN flashes are not as good as the Nikon, when we are talking about recycle time as well as "taking breaks" because they over heat during a shooting, i like to use my SB 600 as my key light and the YN just for filling the shadows. so if you don't have a wireless trigger for your Nikon flash the option is to use your Commander mode from your camera (built in flash triggers your Nikon flash off camera) and setup the YN on Slave mode S2, that way your camera triggers all 3 at the same time BUT you can only control the Nikon flash through your camera, the YN have to be done manually. It works great! again, the only problem is that the YN need more time to recycle and don't do High Speed Sync. if you want to save money, you have to think and work harder sometimes. LOL
Hi, I have YN560 IV speed light and YN560 TX controller, but i am having a small problem and I hope you could kindly help me. when I use the multi mode just on the YN560 IV it works, ie. 5x10 5 flashes in 10 hertz, but when I do the same from the YN560 TX in multi mode only one flash happens. I am using Channel 1 and Group A for both Manual and Multi. Can you help me to fix this problem please ?

this video was a life saver, I was panicing thinking my 560IV didn't work with the 560-TX II but I just didn't know I had to set my flash to RX mode
HEY! A video that gets straight to point without much filler crap. Good stuff man.
Simply the best video of this topic in youtube! Congrats and thanks a lot.
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO! I finally have all 3 of my units working together! 2 560 IV and 1 568 ex II
Billy Shelly Staley how do you like it I'm about to purchase some of those
Thanks for this video. You have clearly defined how to activate the flash with the YN560-TX - I was having difficulty performing the activation. Thanks again
I just tested my YN 560 gear and flash controller today ! Wow worked great did a 2hr photo shoot used Good rechargeable batteries in the flash and regular batteries in the flash controller 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽 definitely buying another flash !!

Cheers Chris, for two months i thought i broke it. Cool.. we're rollin'!! Kind regards to you.
@@philiphoskins7161 Right on! Took me a bit to get it as well. Cheers
Love this. A great product for very little money and a thoroughly helpful tutorial! Thanks!
So concise and thorough. Job well done sir!
Bought a yongnuo yn560 III from you guys last week, it arrived today, along with the TX controller, it works like a dream; i have kaavie triggers which are terrible, they misfire so much, go out of range within mere feet, so practically useless in realworld shooting, but already this unit has impressed me, and until my rf603's arrive, i will be triggering my other yongnuo speedlight (yn460 II) optically, which also seems to work faultlessly.
Personally i think calling these "disposable" is an injustice, most speedlights are made in china anyway, so all these "concerns" about quality are not really valid.
Thank you very much! You saved me from getting a migraine!
Yes I bought it and it looks so cool I can't wait antmore I want it right now...
works with Sony A7 and A6000?
Excellent Review. Lots of info and no waffle. I'll take a look at your store.
Thanks for tutorial.. looking to get the 560TX ... this will definitely help me out
What if you want to have an on camera flash as well? Do you have to have the controller on the hot shoe in order for it to work? This would be convenient if I could keep the controller in my pocket and change the settings, without having to have it on camera.
Thank you! So much better than the instructions that came with the units.
Great video - I got my two flashes synced up in minutes. Thanks!
Thanks for this video. Just got mine out of the box and needed it.
Good video, you should have mentioned that there is no group 'All' function which separates firing all flashes from individual groups. For example if you had 4 flashes on separate groups, to test the value of each flash individually without the others interfering, you would have to turn off all other three flashes rather than just being able to fire the flash in the selected group.
Can you do HSS with this setup?
Exactly what I needed
Maybe you could also make a video, how to setup the flashes, that is what is missing in this video.
nice...
i have ordered mine in Lazada for P8k plus which consist of 2 pcs YN560 IV flash unit and YN560TX LCD Wireless Flash Controller.
Thank you for the video, I have a Canon and Nikon compatible triggers, but both work with no problem in my Fujifilm, they can work in any camera?

Nice video.... I have a doubt!....is it possible to use 2 YONGNUO YN-560 III or IV simultaneously without the controller?
Excellent video, thanks for making it clear.
These are great,you can get 7 of these for the price of a Nikon 900.Only thing some people might miss is TTL.Who really needs that.Get a YN560-TX controller take a shot then if you need more,or less power change it from the camera positionYou dont need TTL,if you know what your doing.
Thanks, easy to follow, big help!
Brilliant, thank you! You just helped me decide which system to use.
Thank you! This information was very useful!
Thanks for your Video!
Unfortunately my tx-ll can't control the flash(560-lll). It can receive the sign and flashes but i can't change the power or zoom. Don't kbow which one is wrong flash or transmitter 🤔
Thanks for the high quality review
can i use any other transmitters(third party) for this flash apart from RF 603?
video for yn660 please ...
so you don't need the tranceiver for it to work then off camera?
Can this combination of trigger and flashes(yn3 and yn4) used for any brand like nikon,canon etc?or the trigger is made only for a particular camera brand?
Really helpful with setting up my flash.
Does the system support: ETTL ? 2nd Curtain Sync? Multi-Mode? (Strobed flash)
This was so helpful!! Thanks so much for posting.
Can this YN560-TX fire my YN 568ex ii ?
This triiger is also use in canon 580 flash ????
Does yn 560tx works with yn 586ex ?!
Thanks for the video , I originally gave up trying to connect the tx to the 560iii ! I didn't know the activation sequence! Ps I also had to reset the tx to default as I must have previously messed up all the settings. Also looking for a foot adapter to fit the tx to Sony A7... cameras , is there such a thing ?
Very useful, i was looking for it.
What is the range of this setup? Are they line of sight or radio?
Do you happen to know if I have 5 of these that I can set them up as follows:
Camera set for 20 second exposure for dark night sky shooting where I want to also capture the lights spaced away from me to light up areas while my long exposure is in progress:

Flash 3: set up 20 feet away with a 16 second delay
Flashes 4 & 5: Set up 30 feet away and both fire after 17 second delay.
Hi can we set flash on difference modes.. one on multi mode one on normal mode.. and can we adjust timing of fire..
Can you also adjust the flash power on the flash unit when using the YN560-TX controller, or can you only set the power at the camera on the controller? Sometimes I'm triggering remotely using a CamRanger while I'm standing by the flash unit, away from the camera which is on a tripod and I'd like to be able to adjust the power at the flash.
If I have say 8 YN560III’s on channel one will it fire them all or will it only fire 6 of them?
Is there a video on how to use HSS with this system
Thanks for the info. Love the Yongnuo flashes. Great value for money and they work really well. :)
The transmitter works on olympus omd's series? Thanks very much in advance
Hi
is this trigger for canon and nikon?
Does it work with a Panasonic?

Thank you. Very fast explanation. Super valuable. subed.
Great explanation man! Thanks a lot.
runs for Sony a7iii Yongnuo YN560-TX? with YN560 III ?
By using the YN 560 TX, would TTL be available on the YN 560 III flash or still remains a manual flash? Sorry if the question is silly.
Will the YN560-TX Wireless Controller fit a Canon 750D/ Canon EOS Rebel T6i ? To fire 2 YN 560IV ??
can I connect my 2000D (cold shoe) by wire with YN560-TX? would it works if I used hss?
I got it. Thanks Great information
Nicely done video

What if i dont want to use flash trigger? But i still want to use two flashes.can i do that?
Hi
I willing get the YN 560 TX
My camera is Nikon D750, and the website tell me it is for canon
Is it available for Nikon? Or it is work with both of them?
For some reason, pressing the zoom/ch + Hz/FN buttons together would not activate my flashes. I had to press the mode + zoom/ch buttons together on the TX in order to get my flashes to sync to it.

Blimey I’ve just bought this on recommendation from a friend..... seems like I’m going to be referring to this video a fair bit!!! #complicated
I have 2 yn560iv and the yn560tx. When I change the mode so the flash does not fire "--" the tx and the flash both show "--" but when I hit the test button, they both still fire. Also one of my flashes has the red front led that flashes and the other does not. Any ideas? Thanks

Can I use this transmitter with Yongnuo YN565EX for Nikon? If yes then do I need any additional transceiver?
Good question. I'd like to know that as well. :D
Pritam Bagchi It can trigger It but It can not control flash output and for getting It to work you Will need a rf603 to receive the signal from the 560 Tx
the gear i talk about in this post is:
Nikon D300
Nikon Speedlight SB 600
YN 560 IV
*for this set up, you will NOT need the YN 560-TX.
first of all. kudos to YN for making lighting so affordable for photographers that don't have the big bucks.
now, in addition to what RM Photography posted, you have a couple of options:
1 - buy the RF 603 II for your Nikon flash (it cost a couple dollars more than the rf 603, but you can use the other receiver as a Shutter release if you don't have one)
2 - Since the YN flashes are not as good as the Nikon, when we are talking about recycle time as well as "taking breaks" because they over heat during a shooting, i like to use my SB 600 as my key light and the YN just for filling the shadows. so if you don't have a wireless trigger for your Nikon flash the option is to use your Commander mode from your camera (built in flash triggers your Nikon flash off camera) and setup the YN on Slave mode S2, that way your camera triggers all 3 at the same time BUT you can only control the Nikon flash through your camera, the YN have to be done manually. It works great! again, the only problem is that the YN need more time to recycle and don't do High Speed Sync.
if you want to save money, you have to think and work harder sometimes. LOL
Hi, can I use the TX transmitter as a dumb one, and set the flash 560iv manually on the flash, so I don't have to go where the camera is? Thanks.
i have a Yongnuo 560 TX 560 III do they make a battery power pack for this flash
does YN560-TX have AF assist lamp ?
Hi, I have YN560 IV speed light and YN560 TX controller, but i am having a small problem and I hope you could kindly help me. when I use the multi mode just on the YN560 IV it works, ie. 5x10 5 flashes in 10 hertz, but when I do the same from the YN560 TX in multi mode only one flash happens. I am using Channel 1 and Group A for both Manual and Multi. Can you help me to fix this problem please ?
How to enable flash groups?
Hey how do i enable GR on my Yongnuo 560 iii speedlite.. ??
Thanks
You have to activate it.
Sorted the same day i posted this comment thanks anyways for your help
On the yn560 iv unit it is possible to set groups as a1 a2 b1 b2 etc... what is the use of it? on the tx i can't see this
