I'm trying to use the yongnuo RF-603c wireless triggers. They work fine with a NX100 body, but on the NX30 there is a strange delay with the exact same setup. It fires a fraction of a second too late, so it wont sync with the shutter speed, but does fire.

Does anyone know what causes this and perhaps even has a solution?

My setup:

NX30 (with samsung nx 60mm)

2 RF-603c yongnuo wireless triggers

tried a sef42a and sef15a samsung flash

Your thread covers a topic that is very important to me.

I did some web research and found this interesting web site with a review on your flash triggers.

The author writes :"The bad news: these "smart" transceivers are a little too smart for their own good. The unit relies on the Canon E-TTL "wake up" signal from the hot shoe on the camera to figure out it should be a transmitter, which means that if you want to trigger your flashes by simply hand-holding one transceiver (with the other one attached to a flash), you're out of luck. No amount of pushing the built-in "test" button will convince the unit in your hand that it's supposed to be the transmitter, and it just sits there doing nothing. It also won't turn itself into a trigger if it's in a non-Canon hot shoe -- such as the shoe in my older "Cactus" remotes. And with no PC-cord *input* to trigger from, it won't work as a trigger from sound or optical triggers for high-speed flash, either. This is a camera hot-shoe only setup, reducing flexibility considerably."

This may be the answer you are looking for ( not good news).
