If you want to shoot self portraits with a flash you need two transmitters set to different channels (one for shutter, one for flashes). Finally they arrive. Works very well!

However, I still cannot figure out how to trigger the shutter. So, I have a receiver for each Speedlite. And then a transmitter on the camera. Then what can I do with the second transmitter (set to a different channel) in order to release the shutter? Just handhold it and press the button? What makes the camera "gets" the signal from the second transmitter? You need a separate transmitter and receiver for your flash and a separate transmitter and receiver for your camera.. Be sure you choose different transmission channels for your flash and camera.. Jurgen

Oops, then I need one more receiver.

Can they trigger with the Lumopro flashes via the hot-shoe, or only with a cable? 5DMk2 | 5D Classic /w BG-E4 | EF 35 f1.4L (main) | Sigma 85 f/1.4 (main) | 430EX | LP160| LP120 | AB800 | Armatar 100

I have had them only about a week and they worked fine yesterday. When I got set up today with a light stand/flash/umbrella, the flash would not fire and I still have not been able to get the 602s functioning again. Someone in another thread said to take the batteries out and put them back in. That didn't work, and neither did changing channels. The red lights on the receivers flash and the green light lights up on the transmitter, but there is apparently no communication between them. Anyone had this problem or are my 602s just busted?

All cables are supplied... Thanks! From what I can tell, each 'set' only includes ONE sync cable, and you'll have to buy additional sync cables from YongNuo's ebay store. 5DMk2 | 5D Classic /w BG-E4 | EF 35 f1.4L (main) | Sigma 85 f/1.4 (main) | 430EX | LP160| LP120 | AB800 | Armatar 100
