Since the YN-622N-TX has no pass through ttl hotshoe, how do I mount an on camera flash? I have a flash bracket.

You don't mount a flash on this unit. This unit mounts on the camera hotshoe and becomes a trigger for a YN-622N iTTL unit that is used off camera. Hope that answers your question.

You'd mount your flash to your bracket with it's own transceiver. Or perhaps your camera and flash have a control port to link together by a cable?

I don't know. I returned the units I bought because Yongnuo doesn't have a Macintosh based firmware updater. I've asked Amazon to stop sending me these referrals.

Yes that combo should work. I haven't tried the ttl so I can't comment on that. The triggers work great with my yongnuo flashes. For the price to performance ratio they are good.

works great with D7000, wireless receiver has hot foot stand, but no connect to camera through hotshoe, just a mount to hold. You can try to get another hotshoe to mount to tripod. I would not let it hang, will loosen GPS port on side. Yes flash will fire when wired with remote timer to camera. timer has worked great for me.

The unit is packaged with a stand that can be used to mount the flash off camera. You have two options that you can use to remotely trigger the flash. You can either set it to S1 (Optical slave mode) & trigger it with the built in pop-up flash on your Canon DSLR or purchase a set of Yongnuo wireless flash triggers/wireless shutter release triggers (http://www.amazon.com/Yongnuo-RF-603-C1-Wireless-Transceiver/dp/B0050E7OSM/ref=pd_sim_p_7). I personally prefer using the triggers. The downside to either method is that you'll lose E-TTL capability using the flash off camera.

I have a D800 and Sb 900 and Yongnuo YN568EX flash , and they work al the time the SB9oo control the other flash, I had problem with the SB 800, it will not communicate in TTL and was not able to adjust.

If you havan't already done so, try swapping the two 622c units you have. Perhaps the one you are using for flash works better with the camera? It should work but as MW said, the unit could be defective.

They shouldn't be interchangeable. For TTL to work properly the flashes have to be engineered for each brand. I'd send it back and get the right one. It's a bargain of a flash for the money though. You'll be happy.

Tom, fantastic information on flash brackets, thank you. I want to get the flash off of the top of my camera, with my 35mm I had far better results using a bracket and I expect the same with my Canon.

You have a number of options. You can use the optical slave and trigger it with the flash from the 6D, just don't use the preflash. You could use any of the generic Chinese 4 or 16 channel wireless triggers with the transmitter on the hot shoe since it doesn't know the difference between Nikon, Canon or any other flash other than Sony (who had to re-invent the hot shoe). If you already have a 622 transceiver/transmitter system, you can use that too. Take one of the transceivers and plug the PC end of the sync cable that comes with the strobe into the PC port on the 622 transceiver. Take the 1/4" phone end and plug that into the strobe. I'd run a loop of heavy nylon thread through the opening on the 622 and hang it on the strobe somewhere. I'd also find a short version of that sync cable too. It may be easier to find a PC to 3.5mm and then just use a 3.5mm (mono) to 1/4" (mono) adapter

If you are using a third party external speedlight, it will not fire in live view mode. I am not sure if it works with ttl speedlights but it definately doesnt work with manual speedlights.

I used on Nikon D610 & D90 both working very well, also I used for off camera flash nikon sb 28, sunpak 433af and 433d, but not for TTL just manual setting. Now old flashes are very cheap if you know how to use it will come out great pictures.

Yes, but only if you use the flash directly connected to the on camera mounted YN622C. To me it makes little sense to have a single YN622C as you cannot move the flash off camera without a wired connection. You really need at least a pair of the YN622C's to use them in a meaningful way. Once you have a pair you can purchase a single if you want to add another TTL flash to the mix. One thin to clarify, you access the camera flash menu, not the speedlight's menu. Not too critical, but just to claritiy.

Sony uses a proprietary hot shoe so they can milk you for more money. You will need their overpriced adapter to mount a standard manual flash or triggers.

You can sync it with a cable, with a remote trigger or using the slave function meaning the yongnuo will flash if it detects another flash firing, for example your built in flash. Hope this helps

I looked up your camera. I don't think it has a hot shoe mount for an external flash. If it does (is there a "flap" that hides it?), then you can put this on it. Even if it doesn't, this flash has a slave function that lets you fire it off when you fire off your built-in flash. So you could still get really flash results just using this flash in slave mode.

You cannot use TTL when using the included remotes (it says so in the instructions). With this setup you can only use manual mode (on the camera and the speedlights.) Set the shutter speed on the remote speedlights to match the shutter speed on the camera. And don't forget to connect the shutter release cable from the remote to the camera. Also, use the shutter release button on the remote, not the one on the camera. (If you use the built-in shutter release on the camera, it will try to fire the built-in flash and neither remote flash will work.) If you really want to use TTL, the only way to do it is without the included remotes. Use one of the speedlights connected to the hot-shoe mount on your camera (or connected with a flash cord, not included) set for TTL and the other speedlight off-camera and set to S1 (slave mode). The on-camera flash will trigger the off-camera flash with this setup but you must have line-of-sight between speedlights. I hope this helps.

It does not work for TTL with my Nikon D5100 and Sunpak PZ42X Flash. It will work when the flash and camera are set to manual. The Sunpak right on the D5100's hotshoe works fine, but adding this flash code results in extreme overexposure. I'm puzzled, because all the pins look right, and continuity checks out.
