[QUOTE="cwgrizz, post: 719322, member: 27017"] OK a little update. Here is what I am working with right now. A YN 622 TX, a YN 622 Receiver (Transciever), the Flashpoint Pro TX and two AD200 flashpoint equivalents. I have not had a lot of time to experiment, but this is what I have tried so far. First I put the YN-622 Transceiver, because it had two hot shoe connections, on the camera and then the Flashpoint Pro transmitter on top of that. It fired the YN 685 and the AD200 one time. Then the YN 622 lights started going crazy. Turn it off and back on and it would fire one time. That's not something that will work. Then I realized that the YN 685n doesn't have the optical trigger function. I guess I never noticed it as I always used radio trigger to fire it with it's built in receiver. The YN 622 TX only has the one hot shoe connector for putting on top of the camera so it cannot be piggy backed with the Flashpoint TX. I have the YN 586 and it has optical trigger, so I can use it with the limitations of line of sight and it works but it has to be set manually. No problem for my use for now. I'm not sure if this will work, but I do have the cord for connecting the YN 622 TX to the camera. I think it is for remote camera triggering, but maybe it can be used to fire that TX from the camera. Then I could use the Flashpoint TX on the hot shoe and the YN622 TX hanging from the cord. Does that sound like an option. Trying to get by without spending more money for now. Ha! I know the last option is to sell the Yongnu stuff and buy a Flashpoint hotshoe flash. [/QUOTE]
