Yongnuo YN560-TX Wireless Flash Controller and Commander ( Item#: D1276 )

Wow. It works great with my Nikon D750, D7100 and D5000. Paired with my yongnuo speedlight, it's an unbeatable pair, at an unbelievable price. Way exceeded my expectations yongnuo!

I own 4 of these. They're so amazing! I shoot weddings and I go through assistants like crazy. I don't have time to teach them lighting so I set up my 4 yonguo lights in the ceremony or reception room and I give one or two of these remotes to my assistant. Bam! It's like there are two of my shooting. I went from giving clients 300/400 photos a wedding to 600 easy. I just love being able to change the power in less than a second so I can get the effect I am going for wherever I am in the room.

I want to give some specific information on the Yongnuo YN560-TX for Canon or the Yongnuo YN560-TX for Nikon with the Yongnuo YN560 IV manual flash for first time users of off camera flash. I use these two flash controllers/triggers with the Yongnuo YN560 IV manual flash. It’s a great combination. The main reason for getting these flash controller/triggers is so you don’t have to walk back and forth to each flash to change the flash settings. I also had an incident when the person I was working with (who was shorter in height than me), could not change the settings on the back of the flash because the flash was too high on the stand and couldn’t see the LCD display! This controller/trigger eliminates this problem. Also, this controller/trigger uses two AA batteries which are easy to find and replace. I use the Eneloop batteries. I only need to carry one type of battery with me. If you check on the Interent, many people are rewiring their Yongnuo triggers (Canon version) to work with Panasonic and Olympus cameras. For those of you who use Panasonic cameras, the Yongnuo YN560-TX for Nikon WILL WORK WITHOUT ANY MODIFICATIONS. I have used it with a Panasonic GH4. The Canon version must be rewired and is very difficult to slide on to the hot shoe. If you’re not careful, the Canon version can get stuck in the Panasonic hot shoe! So just use the Yongnuo YN560-TX for Nikon controller/trigger instead. I use this flash setup for any lighting situation where flash fill is needed. A quick way to determine this is to look at the subjects eye sockets. If the sockets are dark, which I call “Raccoon Eyes”, you need to fill it with flash. If you are outside, the main light is from the sun and the Yongnuo flash will provide the fill. I usually put the Yongnuo YN560 IV flash on a light stand, 10 feet away, set at the widest flash setting 24mm. A good starting point is to have the flash contribute 30% of the total light to the picture. The other 70% would be from the sun. You can do this by “chimping”, that is, change settings-shoot-view LCD until the picture looks correct. Or you can use a light meter that can calculate the flash plus main light ratio for you and give you the camera settings. I use a light meter since I can usually lock in the correct settings with two test shots. Some of the Sekonic light meters have the ability to calculate flash fill percentages. Examples are the Sekonic L-358 and Sekonic L478D. NOT ALL METERS CAN DO THIS. If the light meter is too expensive, just rent one for a week until you get the feel of calculating the settings yourself. However, I really recommend using a meter since you can lock in the settings quickly and spend more time shooting and less time fiddling with camera settings. You’ll actually save money if you’re shooting a paid model. One last comment regarding the Yongnuo YN560 IV manual flash. I purchased this one because it can accept an external battery pack such as the Canon CP-E3 and CPE4. But, I do not recommend the Canon packs since the clips that hold the batteries in place always break. You can buy a cheaper 3rd party external pack instead. This will dramatically cut down the recycle time of the flash, especially when using the flash at full power. Although the Yongnuo flash has a beep tone to let you know when the flash is fully recycled, you may not be able to hear it unless you are in a quiet place. If you are a fast shooter, the flash might not be recycled on the next shot resulting in underexposure.

Good, no problems with that

Absolutely perfect. Meet all my expectations. Highly recommended.

Awesome for the price.all 3 items was easy to install and program

This is a must have, definitely makes adjustment of flashes so much easier. No more running back and fro

It takes a while to dial-in the settings, but works great after that. Nice product.

Love the ability to control my flash from my camera.

Thanks to the seller, I like it

Great product... I've been using it for 2 or 3 months... still working great...

I'm very glad to have it. It works perfect. It is what I want and what I need it...

Works as expected right out of the box. Very intuitive, pretty easy to figure out without needing the manual.. Tried it with 4 YN 560IVs.

I love this trigger; I use it with a Yongnuo 3 and 4 external flash and my sony a6000. It works perfectly once you figure out how to set the channels on the flashes. If you're looking for off camera light, you could do a heck of a lot worse than this setup. It's made a world of difference in my photography.

I love this. Works well so far.

reliable and Works every time!!

Great way to switch settings quickly.

Very easy to setup. Perfect for entry level professional or enthusiast. Someone who is just starting out and does not want to spend a whole lot on expensive equivalent triggers. The flash does not have to be exactly in line of sight, As long as the receiver is not completely covered, the IR works well.

I bought this to use with the new Yongnuo YN660 Flashes and it does a very good job. If you don't use it for a while you do have to take a shot to reactivate the transmitter and receivers (Flashes) but generally this unit works flawlessly. The unit is easy to change the settings on single or groups of flashes and is much lighter than having a flash on the camera.

Works well for my D7000 with the Yungnuo 560III. Kind of confusing to pair but there are youtube videos that help (the instructions that come with this and the flash unit are very complicated and confusing).
