Can we make the YN568EX fire in HighSpeedSync while off camera? I need to freeze frame water dropplets, while standing 8 feet away.

You would need wireless triggers that are capable of HSS to make it work. They are typically more expensive than your basic triggers.

If you mean can you do them both at the same time I don,t believe so. You can take stills and then video on the same memory. Hope this helps!

These flashes do not natively support hi-speed sync. Depending on your camera, 1/200th or 1/250th will be your max "normal" shooting speed. I have accidentally forced these into a hi-speed flash mode using an external trigger, at a loss of brightness.

I am using the YN560-II speedlite in slave mode. If you send your email address I will send a picture of my speedlite mounted with the DMKFoto softbox.

I got a 16GB Class 6 Sandisk card before our vacation to Europe. On a bicycle ride around a lake the camera would stop midstream in a video shoot and said something like "the data stream is too fast for the card". I was shooting in the highest HD mode. It happened several times so high speed action (a lot of data) is too fast for a Class 6. Buy a faster card. I wish I had.

NO, do NOT get a MAC. Overpriced and WAY over-hyped. I can edit 60p with ZERO chop on one of my meager core-duo laptops at 1.8ghz, with effects and PIP's, etc. no problem. You probably are not optimally configured both in hardware and software. What kind of hard drive do you have? This is a very likely culprit. I typically only edit on RAID0 configs because of their awesome speed, and this is where the bottle-neck is really. Also, get some real editing software. I've been using Edius for 10+ years now, and it is simply THE BEST NLE software I have ever used bar none (Vegas, Avid, Premiere Pro through CS4, and yes (sigh) Final Crap Pro). It is incredibly fast, stable, and supports mixed formats and more on a single timeline. Best wishes in any case.

With Nikon I use a pair of YN-622N triggers and trigger one (and up to three with a three-way mount with one input) of these flashes up to 1/8000 as long as the body has FP sync it works GREAT once you put the flash(es) into H mode.

I am certain that your SD card is the culprit. I use a San Disk Extreme lll card and although it is most likely overkill, have no problem with dropped frames. With the slower cards the card cannot write fast enough to keep up with the input of the camera, so you get frames that are dropped. What kind of card are you using? I have also used the San Disk standard format card to shoot about 60-90 second HS clips that have worked as well. I would use no less that 4 GB cards with the HS shooting.

I can't recall but if you buy a short synch cable (you can buy them here on amazon for about $5 each) then the question is moot. Because you can hang the flash trigger where ever you want or need to so its not in the way. I have several soft boxes and use that solution all the time to get my flash to fit and function properly

I haven't tried it, but I expect it to be one long scene. Though I don't see why that'd be a problem as you'll be using iMovie to start and stop the recording - so you have control, just not from the camera.

I will suggest you use MK 908, it has quad core. Much easier to handle the video out put. Thanks, have a great weekend!

Simultaneous shooting, up to 5 fps, is also possible in P/A/S/M modes at 5.8MP resolution, without interrupting the movie recording

You can set the synch speed at 1/125 and you should be fine. Also check your curtain on the camera. Sometimes people have the curtain set to the beginning of the flash and some at the end. Experiment tithe that if the 1/125 is problematic. A fast shutter isn't really necessary.

yes, but you will not be using your full frame sensor (only a portion of your sensor would be used).

Camera hot shoes (where the flash goes) and cold shoes (same thing as a hot shoe, but off camera) are designed with a standard, they are all the same size. This is meant to be used universally with any flash. Although I do not own a YN-560II, I own several brands of speedlights and they all fit fine.Hope this helps!

Hi Glad to Help. Yes you can use it Off Camera. I use mine Off Camera alla the time with RadioTriggers but you can can shoot it with Optical firing (with your on CAmera Flash). It is a very powerful and easy to use Flash. You will not be Dissapointed if you buy it....Aaron

I recently used it while shooting a marathon. I was shooting often 11 frames per second and never noticed it heating up. Worked brilliantly.
