An update after two weeks:

  1. Capacitor in my lamp was dead
  2. Batteries in Yongnous were dead (whatta shame!)
  3. Batteries in the lamp were long dead (shame again!)
  4. My NX3000 firware is 1.02, and the samsung page says latest is 1.01...

I manage the set to be working fine... The YN 603 II Nikon version triggers trigger the lamp correctly, but it's critical to set those attached to lamps to TX and the camera one to TRX (or other way).

It DOESN'T work if you have all triggers set to the same setting: TRX or TX, even tho manual says it should work.

I wish to raise the ratting from 3,5 to 4,5 but it's not possible after two weeks?

Thanks for hints, guys.

P.S.: I love Konica 3.5/28 lens

Hi

I've just bought the NX3000 (and really love it) but I'm struggling to follow this discussion on flash triggers. I'm a bit out of my depth technically and I was wondering if there was a reason why you went for the Nikon version of the YN 603 II? The reason that I ask is because a previous post mentioned using a Canon version of the YN-560 TX.

I'm looking for the basic functionality, size and price of the 603 so I'm tempted to go with your proven solution and other posts I've read seem to point towards the Samsung being more compatible with the Canon hotshoe configuration.

The flash I'd like to use is a YN560 with a standard (?) mount which won't work in the shoe on the camera body (the software doesn't seem to recognise that there's a flash unit attached).

Cheers

Jon

My YN560 works fine on NX300 with latest firmware  (worked on NX200 when mine was functioning).  At various points, people have reported problems with firmware versions and with the pins making proper contact.  Make sure your shutter speed is below S=1/160.

I'm not sure about the YN603's but I use "el-cheapo" RF triggers.  I bought them under the "Cowboy Studios" brand, but they are available under other brand names.  My triggers work fine and fire the YN560 and my SEF20a (the latter at full power only with no metering).
