How many flash units will it trigger? I realize only two with this configuration, but if I buy additional receivers can I set up 3 or 4 flashes?

Yes, you can add as many triggers as you want but can be in no more than 3 groups. I have had these for over a year and they have worked just great. I also have one of the cheaper odin triggers that I use just for triggering a flash for background that I set manually

It will trigger (practically) as many flashes as you can afford, one RF trigger for each flash. Or, you can simply use the optical flash to trigger your other flashes if you don't want to buy extra RF triggers. But, if you are shooting anywhere where there are lights popping even from cell phones, or if the flashes are non-line-of-sight, you will want each of your flashes to have its own FR trigger. You can set up several arrays with multiple flashes, such as in two different areas, and trigger them using the different channels on the trigger (be sure the receivers' channels are set the same). I love this unit and it has performed flawlessly. I use it a lot to shoot roller derby which is fast and unpredictable.

On the back of the receiver there are four switches. If you have two cameras two of those switches are on while the other two are off. If you want to add up to four cameras, just flip the other two switches on.

I do not own any Yongnuo flashes, however I have a Canon 580 EX flash which has a built in radio that can trigger other flashes and yet I have two sets of the RF-602's which works fine with it. I mix and match triggers all the time between strobes and flashes and never had any issues.

You can do that ! You will need 3 units total. One for the camera as a transmitter and two as receivers. You can do what I did and order 2 sets of 2 giving you four. The three that you need and one backup !Good luck with your off camera flash !Alan

Two transceivers are needed. One residing on the camera "hotshoe" to transmit the signal, and one attached to the remote flash to receive the signal to fire flash.

All of the Coyboystudio 4-channel units work together. That being they only trigger flash units. They do not vary the output of dedicated speed lights. I use mine to fire studio strobes and they do a great job. They will fire speedlights just as well but in manual mode.Oh, and despite that James said, mine are very reliable and work incredibly well for such an inexpensive system.

Just one if the flash has the matching receiver (the III), or two if you need to either fire one by radio and the second by flash, or two if you want to use one as a remote, or three if you need to directly fire the other two if they are II's and not in optical range. I have three III's and I have a second so I use it as a back-up/remote. PS I'm a Jonathan too.

I don't have that particular flash, but if recievers and transmitters are on the same channel the flash should fire. If you have a simple transceiver the flashes will not recieve any of Auto (TTL, HSS, etc) functions from the camera. They will have to be set manually. Another option is to use the built in optic trigger. There is some control from the camera but is limited to line of sight.

Yes! We use 2 flashes , off camera and with on camera flashes too.. each of us can fire off all flashes, or just one flash, etc.. up to 4 flashes can see used. And if you are camera flash shopping, I recommend buying the Phottix flash. It comes with a built in transmitter.

Hey, I think you would be trying to exceed the limits of your flash, maybe the smaller softlighter would be good for portraits with the flash you have. Or double up on flashes, I use 3-4 yongnuo flashes with this item. Depending on what camera you have you may need something to trigger the flash, you can search for flash triggers, you need receivers and transmitters, the cheap ones work fine if you don't need e/ttl, or you can use a TTL cord. Hope this helps

HiI own this flash Trigger. They are both recievers and control units. I have 4 and it doesn't matter which one I use for sending or recieving. They work great. Hope this helps. Chris

You can chose channels for your flashes " you have 4 channels on the triggers A.B.C.D " and you can switch off any channels you can . But i think you can`t control the power on the lights from triggers

No, you can only fire one flash per device. However, if you have slave capabilities on your flash you can use that instead of using a trigger.

You can program it to do 3 fast flashes then steady on. Make sure to follow the instructions...they're a little confusing for someone with out tech experience.

It should work either with the transmitter/receiver that comes with it, or any flash that has an IR emitter. I use a Canon Speedflash, that triggers both of the studio lights with no problem.

Yes, you can use it with 2 strobes. You will need to use 3 of the triggers; 1 as a transmitter connected to the hot shoe on your camera and 1 for each of the strobe units. So you will need to buy 2 sets. You can use the 4th to trigger your camera remotely.
