The shipping was free. Mine arrived in twelve days. I'm not saying that's typical because of holidays, strikes and a host of other issues that might come up.

I've got this set-up working with a second transmitter. So the first transmitter triggers the camera and the second transmitter (in the camera's hot-shoe) triggers the flashes. No matter which remote trigger you are using, you will need two transmitters on different channels if you wish to remotely trigger the camera and external flashes at the same time.

I've been meaning to try this myself for a while. I guess I have a good excuse now.

Has this happened to anyone else? I wrote about the problem in more detail here http://www.andrewwraggphotography.co.uk/2010/08/yongnuo-rf-602-wireless-flash-triggers/ Hi all,

I also like to always have at least one spare. I still have not found anything better in this price range.

Turn on the receiver and the flash. Set your camera to manual mode and a shutter speed of 1/200th second. Set the aperature at f/8 to start with and take a test shot. Adjust the aperature to control the light from the flash. If your flash has manual adjustment you can also change the power output on the flash to control exposure and vary the distance from the flash to the subject.

By simply shorting that other pin to ground, my flash now stays awake and can be woken if needed. I don;t know if every flash has this, or what pin would be used. Also you short pins on your flash at your own risk!

The only trouble is that without removing the TX from the receiver hotshoe, I cannot stop it! Nick If I attach the Tx to the Rx hotshoe, then activate, it says on without holdung the button down.
