Has anyone used these Yongnuos with a Mark II?

It says it's compatible with a 5D, but there's no mention of 5D Mark II so I'm unsure if i should pull the trigger.

Thanks!

Oh btw, my purpose for these is only to use as a wireless remote release which will in turn trigger my radiopoppers... hopefully :)

I think all they are trying to imply is that you get the camera trigger cord for that series of camera. All it is doing is shorting a couple of contacts to focus and then release the shutter so if you buy the one with the correct cord you should be okay. There is no difference between the remote cord for the 5d and the 5dII.

Thanks!

I have the same from amazon and it works flawlessly on Canon 5D MKII. Even the remote shutter release works well.

Great, because that's what I was worried about.

Perfect! Have you tried using it in continuous or bulb mode, btw?

Nope I haven't tried it in continous mode. I guess it should work if it triggers shutter.

Yes. All the time. I even bought an extra one so I can fire both my 580EXIIs.
