Yongnuo YN-622C Controller Trigger

The camera was set to CF-07 flash enabled; I had checked that. If I set CF-07 flash disabled, the 20D appears to turn off the hot shoe, because no on-top flash (3 different types of flashes) will work, nor any 622's.

That is a different setting. It is the one referred to on my page 11 -
First menu
· Flash Firing Enable or disable the 622 transmitter.

The one I meant is on page 12 -
· Master flash Enable, Disable. On-top flash will emit preflash and focus-assist, but not exposure flash

This was previously set on a Master flash (e.g. 550EX); there was no setting for it on the camera, AFAIK. I suspect that on a 20D or 30D there is no way to enable an on-top flash (Master flash) with the 622.

If this is confirmed, the Guide should record this limitation for type B cameras.

Not HSS, that is Canon proprietary. But the AB800 will play in the Super Sync game. It will take some testing to see how much benefit you get.

i tried to be careful with the semantics, but loos like i messed it up

I thought i read somewhere that it need to be hooked up via pc sync to do super sync, and the t2i doesnt have a pc sync port

You read right, but it is the PC-sync port on the YN-622C to which it refers.

so i have to connect the flash to the trigger via pc sync? Not the trigger to the camera?

A pair of 622s is needed.

T2i has 622 mounted. The 622 acts as master.
A second 622 has a PC-sync cable connecting it to the AB 800.

(A long PC-sync cable could be run from a sole on-camera 622, but long cables can be devils.)

The performance when using supersync depends on the AB800 characteristics. It will sync at 1st or 2nd curtain sync, or at fast shutter speeds it will sync at the HSS pre-shutter sync.

Read The Other Guide - see link in my signature.

That's the plan,
thanks

Thanks very much, i was sitting here with the answer staring me in the face and had nothing to worry about. i started digging and found my little 3 foot ettl cable, so now I don't have to worry about that problem, which is a huge relief. even if a bracket doesn't have an extra cold shoe i should still be able to just velcro the 622 to something or just let it dangle from the couled cord, which should stretch to keep it from putting too much pressure on the shoe.

I think i will buy a couple more of these ttl 3 foot cables, they are a great accessory to have with your 622's to get them out from under the flash using brackets or for other situations, and I remember finding this chinese one for like 11 dollars. definitely going to have one for each of my 622's just in case.

Yes it works as well with a TTL cord (I've used Canon, Pixel & Yongnuo - whichever is nearest, no preference) as it does straight onto the flash. This is the way I normally it use with my 24" Lastolite Ezybox-type softbox. This has the advantage that I can then poke the flash further into the softbox if I so desire. The alternative is to reverse the YN-622C and then swivel the 580EXII through 180° to (just) poke into the softbox. Trouble with YN-622C reversed is that the LCD screen on the flash is less easy to read then so I prefer to use the TTL cord. Should also work with YN-622C on camera then a TTL cable to flash on my CB Junior bracket (the flash would be in Group A - just as if the connection was direct) - but I haven't had cause to try this as yet.

I've also split so one YN-622C drives 2 Metz 45 hammerheads - one directly off the PC socket and one via a Pixel TD-321 (solely for the PC socket) on the hotshoe of the YN-622C. Only intended to give a vanilla 'Fire' signal cos that's all the Metzs will do (they're 45CL4 versions not 45CL4 Digital) but it works 100%.

I just ordered the 622C and a 568EX, looking forward to trying these out but I still need 1 more trigger for my 430. Anyone know where I can get a single 622 transceiver?

If not, is is acceptable to run a TTL cord from my 568 to my 430EX II and adjust the 430 manually? I know I can fire both with my 7D and no triggers but I'm afraid of line of sight issues and one or both flashes not firing. I'm quite new to this, so any help would be appreciated.

Should give you a selection of options

You can usually order a single from the same supplier. Try contacting them.

How are these over the 603's?

Only thing that keeping me from getting them is the cost I see it finally offers a locking foot and uses AA's for power.

ETTL with HS
I love these, ordering another set.

just got these

dumb question, how do you remove the film on the front of the triggers or should it stay.

You can peel it off if you like, it's just there to protect during shipping.

I finally got it off with a small file. It was just painfully difficult to get off...lol
