14 DAY TRIAL // Chinese photographic equipment manufacturer Yongnuo has officially announced the availability of a new flash controller capable of triggering YN-622N i-TTL wireless flash transceivers, namely YN-622N-TX.
The transmitter allows you to make adjustments remotely or by using an extra master flash. Yongnuo YN-622N-TX comes with an AF assist lamp that can help you quickly focus on your subject and supports up to three different groups of flashes using i-TTL, manual, super sync flash mode, or any combination of them.
Moreover, the controller has an effective working distance of 100m (328 feet), supports 7 wireless channels, and also sets different focal lengths to any group of speedlights.
The YN-622N-TX has a high sync speed of up to 1/8000 of a second and supports exposure compensation, flash value lock function, modeling flash, red-eye reduction etc. Furthermore, Yongnuo's new transmitter allows you to adjust the Super Sync time of your flashes at a higher speed than the camera allows.
Another feature of the Yongnuo YN-622N-TX transmitter is that it supports future firmware updates via the included USB port. Yongnuo has already released a new firmware version, so when you purchase this transmitter you can immediately download YONGNUO YN-622N-TX i-TTL Wireless Flash Controller Firmware 1.03 and update it to the latest version.
Yongnuo YN-622N-TX is now available for purchase from the official Yongnuo Store at a price of $66.99 / €49.
Recently, the Chinese manufacturer announced the first third-party transmitter for Canon's RT technology (YN-E3-RT) that allows you to control 5 different flash groups and up to 15 units of different Speedlites at the same time.
The YN-E3-RT has an effective operating range of 100m and supports future firmware updates via a built-in USB port. For the moment, this model is only compatible with the Canon Speedlite 600EX-RT, but the company is planning to release its own YN600EX-RT flash that will also work with its new radio transmitter.
