According provided by radio synchronizers Yongnuo YN-622N and YN-622N-TX for Nikon cameras huge thanks to Alexander Fetisov.
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.
Yongnuo Digital YN-622N-TX i-TTL Wireless Flash Controller
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.
Yongnuo Digital YN-622N-TX i-TTL Wireless Flash Controller
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.
Yongnuo Digital YN-622N
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.
Yongnuo Digital YN-622N-TX i-TTL Wireless Flash Controller
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.
Yongnuo Digital YN-622N-TX i-TTL Wireless Flash Controller
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.

Yes, the little thing is cool))) I do not use it! Now you don’t have to go into closed-type windows and correct something on the puff, and then go to another softbox and explain something to him))) but when the version of tx was not yet released, then with simple 622 you could only adjust the power as if + -1ev or + -1 / 3ev on a different channel, which at the very beginning is quite enough if you just need TTL with fp support.
Please do a comparative review of the simplest TTL syncs (for example, these) and what is more serious like a pocket wizard, it is very interesting to understand why we are overpaying or vice versa losing
In order for the power - 1/1 on TX to correspond to the full power on the flash, you need to enter a correction in the camera - 2 1/3.
It would be very relevant to see an overview of all (the most common) TTL synchronizers !!!
Also a sore subject ...
I use 1tx + 4slave - it's important at weddings, to light the hall in the corners and not run, plus light the software separately without removing anything. I took it exclusively because of the groups. TTL works strangely - always overexposed or underexposed. The correction is valid for certain shooting conditions, changing which requires re-entering everything. Therefore, I use it only in manual mode.
I forgot to add - another main bun for shooting clubs is the autofocus illumination. For, although it is in nikon, it mows with wide or long glasses. With a laser one - the cameraman catches the focus in 99% of cases accurately and lightning fast.
Thank you very much for the details! These are the details you want to hear in the review. Not just a product description ...
Sergey, does your flash support iTTL in slave flash mode? My opinion is that if the iTTL flash, but does not support it in the slave flash mode, then the iTTL does not work through synchronizers.
Arkady, could you please describe how Super Sunc works in just a few words?
I apologize for the clumsy question. but I understand correctly that a manual flash without FP support in conjunction with a radio synchronizer becomes a TTL flash and can burn up to 1/8000 ??
No it becomes neither TTL nor FP.
As I understand it, the SS mode - if the camera supports FP, but the flash is not, then you can still set shutter speeds shorter than 250. I tested it on my simple flash Nissin Di466 with Nikond7000 camera. The shutter speed can be set up to 1/8000, and the dark band can be removed by adjusting the puff time in the synchronizer settings.
Also, my opinion, which I wrote down a little higher: if the iTTL flash, but does not support it in the slave flash mode, then iTTL does not work through synchronizers. In the absence of a flash like sb900 I can not check. But on my iTTL it doesn’t work, it’s overexposure, it won’t do it, although when working on camera everything is fine. In manual mode, it works correctly through synchronizers. I ordered YN568 in China there and test it.
Regarding the trial puff in manual mode: I read somewhere that this is a feature of the Nikon flashes. Because It is impossible to control external flashes through the camera, but it is necessary to control the power in the radio synchronizer, then the engineers found a way out that the flash works in iTTL, but after the estimated puff, it is not the data from the camera that is transferred to the flash, but the data from the synchronizer, i.e. the power that the photographer put up.
Paragraph Amendment
1. The lower the flash power, the shorter it is and the black bar will still be. This mode (SS) is suitable, as TandemK correctly wrote below for studio flashes.
2. Began to doubt this very much. It seems that my nissin is just crookedly coordinated with this synchronizer. YN568 - Works great.
Another advantage of this device, in particular the receiver, is the ignition of studio flashes at shutter speeds longer than 1/250 without obtaining a “classic” dark band.
A very convenient feature, when in studio conditions by varying shutter speed, you can achieve a fully open aperture.
Don't ask “why”, I came to this by accident.
This is how the shutter speed in flash photography can be used to change the exposure ...? This can only be achieved by changing either aperture or ISO ...
Tell me, I am faced with a choice of what to buy: Yongnuo 622n-tx or Phottix Odin. There are a few questions:
1. I can’t understand if they have differences in functions? The difference in price is four times.
2. Will the SB-600 c 622n-tx work correctly?
3. Does the flash need to be set to slave when working with these synchronizers?
2. It is stated that it works.
3. No, just put the flash on the camera, just on the synchronizer. Slasve when you control the leading flash with light pulses, there’s something else.
Everything works, but you need to set the flash to 622n
I am surprised. This is called a review ??? It seems that the author had only photos of the device. With all due respect to the author and his other reviews. IMHO
Feel free to unsubscribe, which is not clear, or what information is missing in the review :)
Autofocus illumination does not work !!! what could be the problem?
wires are torn off
Dear User,
Thanks for contacting us!
According to your description, we kindly suggest you to restore the factory settings of the trigger and,
1.set the camera as auto focus;
2.set the focal point of the camera as central-point focus;
3.set the focus mode as single servo AF;
4.make sure the shooting environment is dark enough;
5.make sure the AF assist beam of the camera work normally without a YN622N-TX connected.
If the problem still exists with the above settings, it's quite possibly that YN622N-TX is defective.
Best Regards,
Yongnuo
Please tell me how to turn on / off the autofocus backlight?
Pressing the AF / SS button briefly turns AF on and off.
And I have 4 pieces. synchronizers, three stopped working correctly, or rather, everything works, only the laser grid for focusing the camera, disappeared somewhere, it just went out and then, not immediately, but after 2 months of operation, and without it the camera fails terribly at night time. I'm trying to return it to China (they gave a 24-month warranty, I bought it on ebey). You strained me so that I would record a video for them, demonstrate something like this in real life, if I connect them correctly :) I sent it, now they say RESET, do it, it doesn’t help, in short, these are the pies.
But wasn’t it easier to buy in Ukraine, albeit a bit overpaid, but then get in a day and communicate in Russian https://yongnuo.co.ua/yn-622-ii-canon.html
“A little” is about one and a half times. Here everyone decides for himself - to save money, actually purchasing the device without a guarantee (although some sellers still have a guarantee), or to overpay, but it seems like they have a guarantee (if there is a guarantee from the store, and for Chinese goods there is usually - and tomorrow your store may close ...)
It's me again, and you won't believe it, I tried to do RESET and everything worked out, in short, those who do not have laser illumination on YN-622N triggers, try this: Turn on the trigger (without a camera), and press both CH / AF + keys and GP / Mode, hold both buttons at the same time, the indicator will turn red, then after 3-5 seconds the channels will start to light up one by one, A - B - C - C1 - C2 - C3 when C3 is finished, hold it for a couple more seconds, turn it off , attach to the camera, turn on the trigger, then the camera, and oops, everything works. By the way, you need to shoot and put triggers on the camera only when the devices are off, that is, both the trigger and the camera and only then turn it on. Good luck to all!
Thanks for the review and comment! 31.12.15/602/622 I shot New Year's Eve in one restaurant, I put on synchronized bangs, but the backlight didn’t work on one, the program was running out of time to think there wasn’t much, there were a couple 2.01.16 with me, I put it on top of XNUMX (I used it purely as a backlight). I finished the shooting and then XNUMX decided to figure out what and how. And I got on this comment, made a similar reset and wu a la everything works !!! Thanks again for the time and money saved !!!
Two flashes - channel CH1, one flash in group A, the other in B, on the camera controller YN-622N-TX.
For each group I can set my own mode and power, but how can I turn off the flash, for example, in channel B, so that only A fires without changing and changing nothing on the flashes or synchronizers themselves?
Those. Is it possible to turn off the flash from the controller in one group?
It is necessary to remove M / iTTL / SS on YN-622N-TX in group “B” (should be empty).
In TTL mode, the overexposure is very strong, as if it is fully working, how to deal with it? Puff sb-800. Still for some reason the focus highlight jams, which is why I did not understand (
Gentlemen, who checked the operation of these synchronizers with the Meike MK-910 flash in TTL mode?
Do they work just as well as with Yongnou flashes?
Is it possible to change flash settings from the TX controller?
Checked with Meike 910 works fine
Please tell me, did you manage to control the Meike 622 flash parameters - zoom and power in M mode from the YN-910N-TX transceiver?
Good afternoon, is it possible to control the Yonguo 568EX flash directly from this device without a second synchronizer? The flash also has channels 1,2,3, you can register which group this flash belongs to in the I-TTL slave mode, but there is actually no synchronized puff!
Does your flash have a radio sync module?
Your flash can be slave with Nikon CLS (or a similar Canon system) light sync - in this case, there are also groups and channels.
Model YN-685 Canon has a built-in synchronizer
https://yongnuo.co.ua/yn-685-canon.html
And so you need: Canon YN-568 + 622 and YN-622C-TX on the camera
https://yongnuo.co.ua/yn-622c-tx-canon.html
Hello. Can someone explain how to update the firmware on it? Camera D 750, flashes native 900 and 910. When working in TTL, "under-light" is constantly obtained. Maybe an update will help.
Set the + to the flash and that's it.
I also have a shortage of about two stops ... I put a + 2 correction on the TX itself ... I tried it with different ISO and aperture values ... After such a correction, a stably normally illuminated frame at any ISO and aperture values ... Why is this the case ...? So the Chinese set up ...?
Maybe a non-D lens?
Tell me, when using the zoom glass, whether the change in the focal length of the transmitter should be reported to the receiver and, accordingly, to puff. And when turned on, does the transmitter detect the focal glass?
If the YN622N-TX has “AU” in the desired channel settings, it reports. The flash must support focal length changes.
Hello. I have a flash nikon sb 700. Tell me which is better - buy a pair of such synchronizers or take the second sat 700 (910)?
If the carcass supports the Nikon cls system, then the second sb700 is better, if you really need a second flash.
If you have a younger camera (d3100, d5200 and the like), then ... it's easier to use the light trap system and switch the flashes to manual mode
thank you
who can tell if I want to buy a synchronizer to work in clubs I have Nikon D 90 and Nikon SB 800 worth overpaying for 622 or can I buy 605 yong nau?
And so, and so you can work. I work with 602, and the norms, especially if you shoot in raw, then an under / o-exposure of 1-1,5 stops is easily compensated for when developing. Recently filmed a performance of a local circus studio with two studio lights on the sides of the stage + 602 synchronizers:
http://vk.com/album44381128_216200874
* mixed up: 603-synchronizers, still the first version.
Hurrah! TTL with a ceiling-mounted flash YN-568ex on the Nikon D5100 is working correctly. Only the flash correction I put + 1ev.
if the camera selects itself without an ISO synchronizer in TTL mode, then it uses the value set by me (without a synchronizer, the camera uses my ISO only in the M-flash mode, and auto in TTL).
"In the forehead" with a synchronizer, the correction + 1ev will also normally be, the histogram is obtained approximately in the middle.
I am an amateur, I take pictures of my family at home - I will use it, the package from the Chinese met expectations (at least it fixes the jambs)
I think that there is no quick synchronization with the Nikon D5100 and other younger cameras. the instructions say this specifically
if you need to enter an amendment, then TTL does not work.
As amended, TTL works ... Why shouldn't it work ...?
The younger Nikon cameras (and the D5100 as well) do not have 'fast sync' in principle, and no pribluda will fix it.
The only thing is if someone can rewrite the device's firmware ...
so I actually wrote about it because the review says
It is stated that the YN-622N-TX supports Super Sync (SS), which allows you to use fast shutter speeds (shorter than the sync speed) 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.
When the YN-622N-TX is installed / turned on on the Nikin D5200 camera, the shutter speed automatically switches from 1/4000… 1/320 to 1/200.
In general, the error in the review turns out. there will be no quick synchronization in younger carcasses)
now I have a D7100 instead of a D5100, and an SB-800 instead of a YN-568ex. and immediately and TTL always works correctly, and there is fast synchronization. extension cord from this review did not check, lies on a shelf
Friends, tell me who is in the know. Yongnuo does not yet have a flash, which has a built-in receiver compatible with the Yongnuo YN-622N-TX controller. Compatible with the transmitter YN-603 is already there, but with the YN-622?

Tell me. I have a pair of yn-622n synchronizers. And a pair of yn603n. Can I set them up so that they work all together. One sync. on the camera, and 3 others on flashes?
