I am trying unsuccessfully to use a pair of Yongnuo RF-603N to trigger my Alien Bees 800 and need help finding out if I am just wasting my time. When I hook up the receiver using an auxiliary synch cord it fires the unit when I press the transmitter button as long as it is not mounted on my camera. I tried mounting the transmitter unit on both my D600 and D5000 and when I press the shutter button the Alien Bees does not fire. I can remove the transmitter from the camera, press the transmitter button and the light fires just fine. Once I mount it back on the camera nothing happens. Am I wasting my time or is there just some setting or adapter I am missing? Please don't bother recommending other radio units or other light units, etc. I know there are other combinations that will work. I am just trying to see if the RF-603N will fire the Alien Bees 800. |

does the test button work when mounted to the hotshoe? Are you mounting the transmitter correctly into the hotshoe? Or,can you get the combo to work with another flash? |

This should work fine, I am using the RF-603C which is the same, just comes with a Canon cord instead of Nikon. I do remember something like if you try to shoot from live view it wont fire the flash or some other mode. Its a camera setting that needs to be changed. |
