I've the 603II and the YN560II with my D7100, the transmitter sits on the camera, the flash on a boom, it works perfect.I admit, it took a bit of fiddling to get everything to sync up, mostly due to the poorly explained release modes on the 603II. Mind you this flash does not support through the lens metering, so either you get to use a flash meter or you do the trial and error method.To summarize, Yes the Yongnuo RF-603NII will remotely fire any number of Yongnuo YN560III Flashs once the settings are correctly configured.

The RF-603NII units serve as both triggers and receivers so you will be able to accomplish an off camera flash setup with four of them, one for your camera and three for your flashes. The unit that is attached to your camera will need to be switched to the "TX" position to designate it as the triggering device and the others that are attached to your flashes will need to be set to the "TRX" position to designate them as the receivers. Be sure to double check that you are purchasing the set for Nikon when ordering, they are identifiable by the "N" in the model number.

Sorry, but I have the Yongnuo YN560-III which work off of the actual flash and not a radio signal. These only work of off the flash itself and must be somewhat in line of site with the master. These serve my purpose just fine.

Yes, I've read that sb600/900/910 function manually on the camera and using some wireless triggers, even cheap cowboy studio ones. I use a yongnuo st-e3-rt on my x-t1 and to fire a canon 600 EXRT flash and previously used it on the x-e2 so system is versatile though you might want to go to your camera shop with your flash to try it out first if you have other models of flash.

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.

One thing I would highly recommend if you are shooting with Canon is to use the YN-622C-TX (transmitter for the camera) and YN-622C (transceivers for each flash). Yongnuo has a version of this for Nikon, but I haven't ever used it or tested it. There are a lot of guides and comparisons on youtube for wireless flash triggers. One video I would check out is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajwPYxZE8Bs with Tony Northrup. He explains features of several different ones. Again, hope this helps! :-)

I use them on my A99. Both the transmitter and receiver have the old style shoe so I use an adapter on the camera and I have to use another adapter if I want to put the HVL60 flash on the transmitter or if I use it on the receiver. I can use the HVL58 just fine without any adapters.

The Yongnuo YN-E3-RT will NOT work with a Yongnuo 622c flash. The YN-E3-RT is designed to work with the Canon 600EX-RT flashes, or with the YN600EX-RT flash; it will only work with those two flashes. One thing to note, the YN-E3-RT will drain your AA batteries very quickly while not in use; I recommend taking the batteries out while not in use.

Works fine with all new Canons. Doesn't support the new radio system like the 600EX-RT, but can still be used as slave IR. Will also work fine on hot shoe of any new Canon (for ETTL and/or AF assist). I've had one 580EX (I) for years, and while it doesn't support some new features, is still a good primary or secondary flash (with IR...would have to get a newer Canon flash for RT slave).

This link explains it well... http://flashhavoc.com/yongnuo-yn-510ex-ttl-slave-flash-released/ It's more for a slave flash rather than a wirelessly controlled flash. I would personally go for the 500 and not the 510 but it depends on your flash set up and what would work better for you (and if you are a Cannon user or not haha) Hope this helps :)

I have used this flash also with a D90, D300, and D7100 as master in addition to an SB900.One thing to note is that TTL via wireless CLS only works when the 560EX is in set to A-1. I banged my head for a while with it set to B until I had a vague recollection of reading somewhere that only A-1 worked. When I switched it over, all was good. Any other group/channel combo seems to work with it set to manual on the master side (which is how we normally use it).

Invest in Yongnuo transceivers to triggers (available in Canon and Nikon flavors.). If you get one YN-622-N (N is for Nikon, which I assume you are shooting) for mounting to the speedlight, and then get the YN-622-N-TX for the camera, you will be able to control your flash output from the camera on any TTL capable flash (e.g., Sb600 or Sb700). When the speedlight is mounted inside the softbox it is a pain in the butt to change the settings when in Manual Mode. In TTL mode it is not as big an issue.

Hi, I have a 60D and the YN568exII. I ended up buying two yn622c triggers to make it work off camera. One in the hotshoe of the camera, the other under the yn586. I think there is a way to trigger the flash off camera using the 60d's built in flash but I have not done it. Hope this helps.

Reading the comments to this question, I'm a little confused. If my camera has built-in commander capability, will I still need to the transmitter and receiver? If this flash can receive the signal from my camera's commander system, am I all set in terms controlling the flash when it's off-camera?

I used it with my canon 60d and t4i with no problems. I work for Lifetouch national school studios with their Nikon d 200's with a large power light with no problems as well. On the transmitter that goes on the camera it only has one little pin in the middle that touches the flash mount receptor. I hope that's understandable. I don't know how to explain it. Anyways it works with my personal cameras and work cameras no problems.

Nope, the remote flashes are sync only - fire signal only. Whatever setting they are set to they will fire, must change them manually on flash. The transmitter on the camera is ETTL hotshoe, so that might work for that one (maybe), but not the others.

Double check your manual. I would expect the D5100 would work with both those flashes via the pop up flash. Either way, the Yongnuo RF-603s are great for simple triggering and will work with both those speedlights. Keep in mind that they simply fire the flash - they do not offer remote power changes or TTL capability.

I have Olympus gear so I can't answer completely. Notice that Marcela tried using one designed to work with Olympus on a Canon camera...that I'm sure would not work. Back in the film day you might buy a Vivitar 283 and use it on multiple brands of cameras, but these days there are many more features and the hotshoe itself has different configurations of contacts so that the camera communicates more info with the flash. Naturally they want to be proprietary about that. You might wander over into dpreview.com and check the Canon forum though because someone in there has surely bought a Nissin *for Canon* and used it with Canon....
