So to help any others that maybe curious in the future and find your handy artwork...

in set 1:

with no flash you basically have a wireless shutter trigger
with flash you have wireless shutter and flash...


in set 2:
flash in 603 unit into hotshoe stand for off camera setup and unit on camera.
This will give you off camera flash

in your pic you also say you can add a flash ontop of the camera into the hotshoe of the 603.. I tried that.. (only having one flash so only setup one) but the flash did not fire.. maybe i did something wrong..

in set 3:
tricky setup it looks
1 603 for handheld use (say channel 1)
1 603 for just shutter trigger (also on same channel)

1 flash in 603 unit into stand for off camera flash (channel 2)
1 603 in camera hotshoe to trigger external flash
optional: 1 flash in 603 on camera hotshoe for on camera flash (channel 2)

set 3 can use 2 flashes and 6 rf-603's... ($335)

I appreciate the "thanks" from everyone... feel free to pass it around as needed! I'd be happy to see it pop up in every RF thread :)

Oh yeah... if it pops up in a YN manual, I'd love to get a set for free! ;)

Not really.. I've been using the 602s for over 12 months.. I really like them..

Just to add,, they have worked absolutely faultlessly,, I've never had a misfire..

Allow me to recommend Eneloop AAA in the receivers..

Looking forward to picking up a pair, awesome that they decided to go with AAAs for both trigger and receiver.

MinnGreenGT,

Thanks a lot. I was completely confused about wireless triggers. Now, it's clear.

I have a T2i with a 430EX II and Nissin Di466. I've been using the Di466 as an optical slave and it's been working fine, but I want to get the 430EX II off my camera. These would do the trick. I thought I read somewhere that the Di466 wasn't compatible with some triggers. Does anyone know if this is true?


All right, then, I'll go to hell. -- Mark Twain

I believe The RF603s (like the 602s and most other triggers) have a 1/4-20 thread on the bottom so they can be attached to light and/or umbrella stands securely.

CORRECTION:

Sorry for the misinformation there ~ I just assumed they did, as most other triggers I've seen or worked with DID have the threads.

Pictures & Trailboy below do tell otherwise! http://www.flickr.com …s/9641754@N04/5​472910807/ (external link)

No they dont, they have a hotshoe underneath with all the ttl pins intact.

You need a pinching cold shoe on your umbrella adapter now.
