YONGNUO YN-E3-RT Wireless Speedlight Transmitter wireless flash shooting for Canon as ST-E3-RT

For starters, this arrived earlier than expected, so a big thank you to Andoer for great service.I have now used the YN-E3-RT with my 5D MkIII, 1D MkIV and my wife's 70D along with a 600EX-RT and 580EX MkII (with YNE3-RX). the first thing to do is to check and update the firmware, where necessary, on both TX and RX. This can prove a little awkward as there is no OS X support, so it must be one via a Windows machine.The build quality, whilst not in the same league as Canon, is more than acceptable-especially given the price point! It is not 'weather sealed' as per the Canon ST-E3-RT, but at a little more than 1/5 of the price of the Canon product (in UK), I would not expect it too be. I certainly am not going to mark it down for that!!! A couple of important (to me) features, over the ST-E3-RT, are the focus assist light and the second curtain sync.The interface is the same as that on my 600EX-RT so is very easy to use, I don't have to learn another system and it integrates perfectly. The buttons, switches and dials all work fine and it pairs quickly with both the 600EX-RT and YN-E3-RT.I would recommend this item to anyone wanting to expand their system and creativity whilst saving over canon prices.

I am not normally a fan of cheap copies but when this transmitter is nearly a quarter of the price of the Canon equivalent it seemed silly not to give it a try. I am very glad I did. Since buying it the unit has worked faultlessly. Simple and quite intuitive to use (although that is presumably down to Canons design) and works well with two Canon 430EX speedlites. The set up is certainly far simpler than my previous Pocket Wizard triggers and also more reliable. I cannot yet comment on the longevity of the unit as I haven't had it that long but considering the Canon unit is nearly 4 times as expensive it seems to me to be a very worthwhile substitute.In fact, I am so impressed I'm beginning to wonder if it may be worth trying their replacement for the Canon 600EX speedlite.

Wish I'd known about this item earlier. I'd have saved cash. It's very similar to a more expensive proprietary item and appears to work just as effectively. A nice extra touch were the included remote wires to facilitate linked shooting with pre 2012 Canon DSLR models!

I am impressed. Had my doubts but I am glad I bought this.Let me start with the delivery. Ordered 31st August-2016.Initially the forecast delivery date was Wednesday 7 September. Lo and behold, the item was delivered on Sunday (yes, that's right, Sunday) 4th September.I took my time in testing it. But I checked the box contents immediately I received it just to ensure all items were included.On Monday I proceeded to setup and test (when family had gone about their daily tasks so I had enough time and space).First thing I did was to ensure firmware was up to date. I realised that the coiled cable included in the box actually had micro USB at both ends: one to plug into the Yongnuo YN-E3-RT, the other end to plug into the USB port of the computer. Hmm. Scratched my head. Fortunately I remembered that the Canon 5D Mark III had a micro-to-proper-USB end so I used it instead.Connected successfully and updated the device with no problems. You have to look around on google for a link to the landing page for firmware because Yongnuo home page is all in Japanese.Anyway, ready to configure and test.Yongnuo YN-E3-RT (+2 batteries)Canon 5D Mark IIICanon Speedlite 600EX III-RT (+4 batteries)Canon Speedlite 430EX III-RT (+4 batteries)Config setup was easy. Why? Loads of YouTube clips showing step by stepOne of these: https://youtu.be/e14UhoCOloATesting was successful and I'm happy with this purchase.If I need more Speedlite strobes / flash I will definitely consider buying a Yongnuo one (reasonably cheaper than top branded version).

I have used this transmitter in conjunction with two Yongnuo 600 RT flashguns to create an ETTL home studio. The transmitter works brilliantly. Really easy to see that it is paired to the flashguns and to adjust the flash output and ratios, either directly on the unit itself or via the flash menu on my Canon 7D Mark 2. This unit has excellent build quality and looks as if it should last a long time.In terms of flash control, it has replaced an optical transmitter set-up using the built in flashgun on my 7D Mark 2 that was frustrating unreliable with an up to date radio transmitter system that is a pleasure to use.Most importantly, it retains full TTL control, so flash exposure control was perfect from the first photograph to the last

Ok, so I decided to finally take the plunge with this little gem of a device after what seems like nearly a year of procrastination. After a mix of birthday vouchers and the like, I took the plunge!In essence, this is a 1/3 of the price of a brand new Canon device. The question was: would it be as good as the Canon? Answer: I don't care as it does what the Canon does and more (so, in a side by side test, I guess the answer would be yes). It's worth noting that I've used the Canon one too, and can vouch for the extremely similar operations and layout.Whereas there are plenty of technical reviews out there, I will simply put that: if you want to do off camera flash work, but don't want to spend over 200 pounds on a Canon version, then this little gem will work for you. I think I'm right in saying that this actually out performs the Canon device in some areas.Would I recommend? Almost certainly! And will probably look at flashes that they do too, instead of spending a small fortune on another Canon flash.

It works perfectly, can control a group of flash and change the power of every single one.4 stars becouse of the battery door, it broke up after 5 uses, i had to use superglue to keep it together.

Llegó puntual

Cumple perfectamente su misión. Relación calidad precio inmejorable. Material adecuado para el precio que se paga. Alternativa razonable para los que no quieren invertir en el original de Canon.

Quite impressed with this unit. Has worked flawlessly with the Yongnuo flashes I also purchased. Bought these when my faithful 580EX took an unexpected fall and quit working. The build of the wireless controller is great and it was very easy to get up and running. Also have some other Yongnuo wireless triggers and while they work well, it seems the buttons to switch channels get bumped often and you have to change them back to the correct channel frequently. The YN-E3-RT doesn't have this issue at all. It just works. I use this mainly for portraits on location triggering multiple flashes on light stands with soft boxes.

Funciona bien y lo tengo hace algún tiempo ya. Uso con el Speedlite YN968EX-RT compatible con canon. Funcionan bien ambos. Buenos resultados.

The best Speedlite Transmitter I am using for YONGNUO 600 EX RT and it works absolutely stunning.You just need to fix this on your DSLR and You can control Flash Wirelessly. (Which support wireless function like the one I have mentioned or Canon 600 EX RT.)
