Alternative to Yongnuo RF-603?

Hi guys!

My friend uses the Yongnuo RF-602 trigger, I have been quite impressed with it, the only thing I don't like is there is no way to fix it on the camera.
In case I would like to use both the trigger AND a Flash on the Camera.

I have been looking at the pocket Wizard but it is much more expensive.

So are there any good alternatives to the Yongnuo RF-603?!

I use Pixel Kings...

Thank you Kronie, that seems like what I was looking for

Two question:
Can you use it to trigger a second camera remotely too?!
Can it be used with more then 2 pieces (Example if I need to trigger 3 flashes)

I dont think you can trigger a second camera with them but you can trigger three receivers. I have three receivers. I dont know how many you trigger at once. They update firmware semi regularly which is nice.

The new Pixel King Pro will actually trigger a remote camera -

But that's just triggering the camera. If you want to trigger remote cameras and flashes at the same time it can get very involved fast (because there is always a delay between the cameras firing). PocketWizard Multimax are designed with delay timing for this.


Disregarding the second camera remote triggering, Phottix Strato II are a great option for flash on camera and manual flashes off camera -

if you just want manual flashes, you can use a rubber O ring to secure the Rf-603 trigger to the camera. Mine is extremely tight when I use it now. See this:

Nice idea. Altough would still prefer to have it built in

im using commlite comtrig t320. very good and cheap.

They used to make metal spacers for hotshoe mounts. a little metal clip that clipped into the hotshoe making your flash snug.

I use an o-ring as well. Cheap and it's never come off the camera inadvertently.

Having a locking ring built in isn't a guarantee of staying on any better. My 602 with (or without for that matter) an o-ring stays on my hotshoe better than my Cactus V5s did, regardless of how much I tried to tighten the locking ring.

I think you guys are missing the point that he wants to mount a flash on camera as well. An o-ring is not going to hold a trigger and flash in place safely.

That is the point, I (sometimes) would like to mount a 580EX II on the trigger.
Now, I don't care if the trigger falls of, but the flash is a bit expensive.

I got the point. What I was trying to say is that not all locking rings do such a great job at locking, which is really important when adding the weight of the flash.

I do mount my flash on the trigger which is in the hot shoe. But that is when I use manual flashes (i.e. YN-560). Are you shooting manual or ETTL?
