My off-camera flash solution: Yongnuo

[Batis]

I came from Canon and was invested in Yongnuo products for off-camera flash. I put this quick YouTube video together to show how this is accomplished with the Sony a7's (and a6000).

Although technically well done, this 3+ minutes video is not worth watching as the message can be summarized in two short sentences:

 

A Yongnuo YN560TX Manual Flash Controller on a Sony A camera will release off-camera Yongnuo Speedlite YN560III.

 

Flash intensity is not automatically controlled but can be manually set via the Controller.

 

(Seems you enjoyed making the video, that's a good thing!)

The goal as I move through the videos is to make them as concise as possible. Yes, my 3 minutes was too long but I don't find it excessive. :-) Look for more as I put up three more Camera Remote videos last night. Thanks for your feedback!

I did look for more, but I did not watch as the first one that appeared was a de-boxing video.

I never watch 'em. I have probably missed a lot.

Thanks for posting the vid, been lingering , i'm gonna roll with the Yonguno controller +2x off, as i'm a bit flash averse, and it looks like subtle will be "tunable".

I wish you would have watched that u boxing video. I start it out by saying "I hate unblocking videos". ;-)

 

I only did that to show what USA residents can expect when ordering a lens from Hong Kong (Digital Rev). The warranty issue comes in to play as you don't get a standard USA warranty for your Loxia.

Oh, little did I know that it was an "unblocking video", I thought it was an unboxing one....

Unblocking sounds good. Thus not one of these beta blockers I presume, but a real Sony Alpha unblocker. ;-)
