I would use the yn-622n and yn-622n-tx series radio transceivers with the yn565ex or yn-568ex flash units.

If I was starting over today, I would go straight to the 568 flash units and the 622 trigger/receivers.

Edit: I just checked the price on the yn568ex Nikon version and found it to be under $125 through Amazon. "

I totally agree with Rick.

I have 3-565EXs, plus the 622trigger/receivers and the 622N-TX controller. The whole setup works flawlessly with my D7100. Prices on the the 568 have dropped considerably from when they were first introduced. So, if you want/need HSS then go with the 568s.

The price/quality/performance -- the "bang-for-the-buck" -- and cost savings on these units is significant. The above whole package costs less than one SB-910.

I have the YN 560 III and it works great. Love it! Great price. I can't afford the nikons.

I have four of them. I integrate them with my SB800 to make a 5-unit "go anywhere" studio lighting setup. I have had zero problems with them. Mine are the 560s, so they are used in manual mode. The more advanced ones will work in iTTL or eTTL(Canon), but I am happy in manual.

I have the YN467 and YN565 and both work great on my D7100 or D800

IF you're interested in Yongnuo flashes, lighting, and other products, go to "Flashhavoc.com". There you will find reviews of many of the Chinese photographic equipment, including Yongnuo. Plus, there is a sister site for purchasing the equipment, called "eachshot.com. I bought two of the Yn 565 EX II flashes, they have TTL, Auto adjustment, and are great knock off of the Canon flashes. The products are well made, have a warranty, and do exactly what they say it will do. The enclosed manual is a little hard to follow, since it is interpreted from Chinese. But, the products are sound, and a good investment.

I've used YN460s for years--they're totally manual--and I love them. The new 460s have a warm up and recycle time of 5 seconds on full power! I use YN flash triggers and they work flawlessly.

I have no problem recommending YN products.

All that I've ever heard about them has been very positive, but I don't have any personal experience with them. The new 600 RT looks very intriguing, even have the ST -E 3 and that combo sells for under $300!

Ok.
YN560II.

$65.00 and they are a steal.

Shoot manually with wireless triggers or trigger them optically with another flash.

Lots of power, very flexible, and reliable.

My question. I want to be able to use more than two flashes in open sun to be strong enough to shoot with the sun behind my subject and to keep the clouds beautiful. I currently have a Nikon sb 600,700, and 800. I also recently bought a yo gnus yn560ii. I have yongnuo Nikon triggers rf603n. Is it possible to set off more than two flashes? How? Thanks. I also have nikon800 Nikon 90 and Nikon d7000

To meet you requirements, you'll need to be able to do HSS (High Speed Sync). For that you'll need the Yongnuo 568EX currently available at Amazon @ $126. Plus you'll want to use the YN-622N-TX triggers along with the YN622N-TX controller. (4 triggers =$178, plus controller $49.) A total of $479 -- less than the cost of one SB 910. Such a deal!

Does anyone know if Better Beamer has a size to fit the Yongnuo 568?
