Exodies Posted August 11, 2014 Share #21 Posted August 11, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) The Yongnuo RF-603N requires a hardware mod before it will work on the M240 (each receiver is capable of being a transmitter but only if the hot shoe tells it that it is a camera, the M240 won't do this). I use an Xsource 16 channel wireless hot shoe flash trigger set. It came with 2 receivers and one transmitter for £18.54 from Amazon. The receiver has a hot shoe on top and a cold shoe plus 1/4 inch tripod thread hole underneath. As versatile as you want. Works on my M240, SF 58. Oh yes, manual mode only.

jto555 Posted August 11, 2014 Share #22 Posted August 11, 2014 For an M, except for the Nikon SC28 or equivalent cable, and using the SF24 or SF58, none of the other methods will support TTL. For an off camera electronic trigger, it will be manual only and a cheap electronic trigger like the Yongnuo (Nikon version) will work well for the occasional use. I bought mine off eBay and am very happy with it. Thanks a million, but I am not worried about TTL, I am looking for HSS wireless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herr Barnack Posted August 13, 2014 Share #24 Posted August 13, 2014 I use an ancient Nikon SB-25 flash and a set of these Amazon.com : Phottix Ares Set Wireless Trigger (Black) : Photographic Lighting Slave Remote Triggers : Electronics for wireless off camera flash with my M240. I don't have TTL flash, but I set the flash to "A" (auto) and this setup works pretty much perfectly. The Phottix Ares trigger set has a range of 600 feet and is under $50 USD. Given the ability of this setup, I can't see any reason to invest $630 USD in the SF-58 flash. YMMV. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echo63 Posted August 13, 2014 Share #25 Posted August 13, 2014 Thanks a million, but I am not worried about TTL, I am looking for HSS wireless. You will need the ability to use TTL to get HSS - the camera controls the flash as the shutter slit moves across the frame. The other option is "hypersync" pretriggering a flash slightly and using a long T1 time to expose the image - i know the pocketwizard control TL units can do this, but i havent played with it at all Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exodies Posted August 13, 2014 Share #26 Posted August 13, 2014 strange ...... mine work perfectly ..... just put the batteries in ..... stick them on the camera and off you go.... I hope I'm not spreading misinformation. There are several possibilities: The rf-603 comes with Canon or Nikon hot shoes. I tried the Nikon one. The rf-603 comes in two versions, original and rf-603 II. I tried the original. I believe the M9 works and the M240 doesn't. I tried M240. It's possible that both of my rf-603n are broken, neither will switch to transmit mode. If you can confirm you use the same three variations (Nikon, original and m240) then I'll stop banging on about it. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thighslapper Posted August 13, 2014 Share #27 Posted August 13, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) the RF 603n II works fine. flash fires whatever the camera setting. I use YN560-III flashes. no idea about the older versions ..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
