Overview of the Yongnuo Digital YN-622N Radio Synchronizer

Yongnuo manufactured the Yongnuo YN-622N synchronizer, which consisted of two modules. Each Yongnuo YN-622N module was a transceiver, i.e. at the same time could be both a receiver and a transmitter. Actually, everything would be fine, but the synchronizer had few options and configuration options, because the additional Yongnuo YN-622N- module was releasedTX, which can interact with the old YN-622N module, has many settings and can be quickly accessed using a large convenient display with backlight. However, at the same time, it performs the functions of only a transmitter (controller).

First of all, I want to clarify that for working with the Yongnuo Digital YN-622N-TX i-TTL Wireless Flash Controller You must use at least one Yongnuo Digital YN-622N i-TTL Wireless Flash Module Trigger transceiver.

YN-622N-TX is well-made, powered, like YN-622N, from 2 AA batteries, has a leg with fasteners, a PC connector for synchronization (input), a USB port for updating software and a connector for a special sync cable.

Of course, the main advantage of the YN-622N-TX is the remote control of external flashes with the automatic i-TTL mode, while the high-speed sync mode is supported and you can shoot at shutter speeds up to 1/8000 s. To do this, just install the Nikon SpeedLight on the YN-622N and select the TTL (or TTL + FP) mode.

It is stated that the YN-622N-TX supports Super Sync (SS), which allows the use of short excerpts (shorter excerpts sync) with cameras that do not have Nikon FP mode. I do not have a similar camera and I could not verify this function. If you have experience using YN-622N-TX on younger Nikon cameras, feel free to unsubscribe in the comments.

As befits a good radio synchronizer, using the YN-622N-TX and YN-622N, you can remotely release the shutter, the main thing is to find the right cable for your camera.

YN-622N-TX supports operation with three groups of flashes; for each group, you can set the operation mode: TTL, M (with the choice of manual pulse power) and SS. In TTL mode, an additional power correction of + - 3 ev can be made in increments of 1/3 ev, separately for each group. Everything else supports as many as 7 communication channels. The flash zoom position can be individually adjusted for each group of flashes. The zoom can be automatically adjusted depending on the focal length of the lens, and can be set manually from 24 to 200 mm. You can also turn on the auxiliary focus illumination, and when turned off, the radio synchronizer saves all settings.

In addition, the YN-622N-TX transmits ISO and aperture values ​​and has a battery indicator.

When I installed the YN-622N-TX on a Canon camera, I was able to set the Nikon external flash on fire. SB-900True, for this you need the flash itself, installed on the YN-622N transceiver, to switch to manual mode. Also, unlike the YN-622N, the YN-622N-TX does not have a hot shoe for installing another flash on it.

When working in automatic modes, everything works very well, it is a pity, I did not have the opportunity to check the YN-622N-TX when working with several groups of flashes, as this requires another receiver of the YN-622N type. It was a little surprising that when working with a manual power level, the flash gives a test pulse, most likely this is due to the fact that the flash installed on the YN-622N is in TTL mode. Personally, I really liked the YN-622N-TX in conjunction with the YN-622N :)

The cheapest is to buy Yongnuo synchronizers on aliexpress.

Results

Yongnuo Digital YN-622N-TX is an excellent flash sync device for Nikon, fully compatible with Yongnuo YN-622N transceiver.

    Guys, there is somewhere more detailed instructions. The cable is connected, but nothing comes out. What should be the settings on the camera and synchronizers?

  • Sergio

    The yn622n-tx synchronizer paired with yn622nii ​​and yn568ex periodically gives omissions, how to minimize them?

  • Sergei

    I can’t find anywhere how these little things connect with Nikon sb800. Maybe someone has experience?

    • Eugene

      Simply insert a flash into the trigger shoe and set it to TTL mode, as if it were on the camera, regardless of TTL or manual mode on the camera itself. On the synchronizer with a flash, the engine on the side is for reception. On the synchronizer, set the group and channel, as on the transmitter.

  • Nazar

    Hello. Tell me, is it possible to use YN-622N-TX to control yn 565ex and yn568ex flashes, without using YN-622N? I read somewhere that they have a built-in receiver, I don’t know how true it is

  • Maksim

    Hello! Maybe someone here can give me an answer. Nikon D780 camera, SB 600 and SB 800 flashes, YN622N-TX in conjunction with YN-622N, TTL mode does not work, remote power control does not work, only in manual mode on the flash itself. I tried everything I could, updated the firmware, but nothing helped. What could be the reason? Thank you in advance!

    • Arkady Shapoval

      incompatibility

      • Maksim

        on the Nikon D600 the same thing. It's embarrassing (like
        I bought it for the sake of TTL, but in fact, apart from high-speed synchronization, they are no different from the simplest synchronizers.
