Got my wireless flash transceivers!

Receive a parcel during Saturday, and yes, my YongNuo RF-603 Wireless Flash Transceivers has arrived. It’s a sweet thing that I will have so much fun with it in the future.

After tons of comparing, I decided not to spend my money to purchase any shutter remote although it’s cheap, and I also don’t purchase any wireless flash (speedlite) transmitter and receiver.

Unboxing……

YongNuo’s packaging never let me worry. As you can see, the two transceiver units are securely wrapped with bubble wrap, and all the items are put inside a box before it’s placed in the main packaging box.

The shutter connecting cable is included in this item, as well as a user manual.

Here I will give you reasons why I choose Yong Nuo RF-603 Wireless Flash Transceiver instead of getting shutter remote and wireless flash triggers separately. You’d me amazed, hopefully.

You might wonder, what is transceiver and why it’s called wireless transceiver. It’s simply because each transceiver unit can be either a flash transmitter or a receiver. Convenient enough.

Before when I was searching for flash triggers, I often saw that some flash triggers are powered by some batteries that I’ve never seen before, and I asked around, no one knows where to buy.  

Look at the YongNuo RF-603 Wireless Flash Transceivers.

Each transceiver unit is powered by 2 pieces of AAA batteries. You can grab them easily. If you’ve the budget, you can even go for rechargeable batteries. No hassles.

The fun part of YongNuo RF-603 Wireless Flash Transceiver is……

It’s a combination of wireless flash transceiver and also a GOOD shutter remote.

Why I say GOOD? Because of two reasons.
Firstly, unlike other shutter remote, often the camera cannot detect the signal of the remote (or the remote fails to send the signal to the camera???). YongNuo RF-603 Wireless Flash Transceivers solve this problem. I tried many times, and it doesn’t even fail for a single time, even when I am pressing the shutter remote in another room.

Secondly, you can perform autofocus with the transceivers! You don’t see it wrongly. The button on the transceiver unit is just like the camera shutter button, half-way press to focus and full-way press to shutter.

So imagine I’m taking portraits of myself and I am facing my camera mounted on a tripod. Do some funny actions, press the shutter remote button and perform a sweet autofocus, then *shoot*

One thing I’ve forgotten to try is to shoot using bulb mode. From the spec sheet, it’s mentioned, and since the shutter button is just like the camera’s shutter button, bulb mode should work extremely fine

I highly recommend this gear to every photographer who has started to play with speedlite. You can get so much fun and convenience from it!

Using YongNuo RF-603 Wireless Flash Transceivers as shutter remote. The shutter connecting cable is needed in order to use the transceivers as shutter remote.

Mount your speedlite on it? Tested and it works. No problem

Pure flash triggers setup. Without the shutter connecting cable, it’ll just work as flash triggers.

With the shutter connecting cable, flash triggers and shutter remote (radio triggering) can work simultaneously with no worries.

You can also press the button of the transceiver mounted with the speedlite to take photos. Cool, right?

Have more than one speedlite? No slave mode? No problem, you can always get a single transceiver unit after that.

What makes it more interesting is its 100m transmission distance (from the spec sheet). I don’t have the chance to try out the actual transmission distance, but practically I suppose it’ll work fine within 100m provided nothing is blocking the radio signal. I put a transceiver in my room and try to trigger it in another room, and, it works pretty fine!

If your speedlites are in sleep mode, don’t worry, because the transceiver will “wake” your speedlites.

Having studio strobes? Don’t worry, the transceivers can be used on them too with a Yongnuo studio light trigger sync PC connecting cable (Not included, sold separately).

Just to show how it looks like on studio strobes, that isn’t mine

If you wish to get a set of flash triggers for yourself, don’t forget the YongNuo RF-603 Wireless Flash Transceiver.

Trust me, you won’t regret getting it.
