[QUOTE="rocketman122, post: 557892, member: 14443"] I use 8 622n and I have my d3/s flopping off my belt pouch and have been using them for at least 70 weddings a year and they re built very well. they are very durable. I also had the SB700 which is toy in size/weight but ive used the SB900 and now use the shanny SN600n and its abig flash and has some bulk. the problem giving a feeling like it will break is the fact that the morons at yongnuo made the flash shoe on the 622n too high. the flash inside wiggles all the time. but depends what flash. the ones that have a manual turning knob can be turned down for friction and my shanny flashes have a rubber gasket that help make it sit tight but the Sb700/800/900 all have wiggle making it seem like the flash foot needs to be replaced. I sold all 4 of my nikon flshes and use solely yongnuo and shanny flashes for all weddings. the nikon flashes just dont deliver. all have shortcomings vs the shanny flashes. as far as using the 622tx, ive seen people connect the tx unit to the pc sync port of the flash and then velcro mount it to the flash on top. so they can remotely adjust the flashes but they can alsouse a flash on the camera. the sb700/500 doesnt have pc ports though. youll have to use some aftermarket part to add a pc port or connect it o the camera pc port. but the d750 doesnt have one. personally I dont see the bulk problem as you so. that setup looks really tiny to me. and from experience and use of cls in weddings and studio, it isnt reliable, consistent and repeatable. it doesnt work at all outside and inside the setup needs to be very close to one another. u would use this between your camera and on camera flash [url=http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=pixel+323+nikon&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xpixel+syncnikon.TRS0&_nkw=pixel+sync+nikon&_sacat=0]pixel sync nikon | eBay[/url] then u can connect the tx unit to it and fire that off. mount it on the side of the flash head with velcro or rubber band it and control it like that. the weight is no problem for the flash mount. ive had my flash hit so many times by guests at weddings who pass by and bump into it all the time.
