[QUOTE="spb_stan, post: 617363, member: 43545"] As a point of confusion enhancement, another popular and very functional HSS capable flash controller system I have become fond of is the Yongnuo YN-622 transceivers and YN-622n Tx transmitter(actually is a transceiver also). I built what was likely the first CLS compatible RF controllers into my D90 when it was new, several years before PW was out with an RF controller for use with CLS. I had retired that system long ago because my GF uses the D90 and has no interest in flash or strobes. I built two strobes for studio use at that same time which I hardly turn no nowadays. I found a couple new surplus aircraft strobe flash tubes so built the whole circuit, got it working and later made a copy. I had moved to a newer lower ceiling apartment so there was not much space for big modifiers and shifted to speed lights. My shooting changed, studio time was so cheap per hour it made no sense to build one up at home. I got into speed lights, and their lower power fit what I was doing, using 3 SB900's I added the low cost Yongnuo controllers and was so favorably impressed I added one of their YN-568 ex $99 flash unit. After a week of sharing duty with the 7 times more expensive Nikon speedlights I added two more YN-568. The YN-622 controllers are about $49 each and seem very rugged, and resistant to my dropping them several times on hard surfaces. So far, none of them have failed to trigger in the system, controlling power, groups and modes remotely is a snap on the Tx with easy to read LCD display. Still impressed with the price, construction and functionality. HSS works great. [/QUOTE]
