Canon Speedlite 600EX-RT (EOS flash unit with integrated radio trigger, guide number 60) (accessory)

Customer Review

The ambiguous title I let even so are .....

Long have I considered whether I should replace my 580EX II, provided for remote triggering with Pocket Wizards TT1 and TT5, or not.
Coming soon: it was a good decision. Switching on, get going. Reliable.

The long version: I've unpacked and rightly found me right.
Aha, that's the radio mode; hm, ahja, encryption is advisable wenns several photographers are also straight forward.
The menu has succeeded in a little education I had through the net, much easier despite more options than its predecessor.

So if you should opt for the 600 RT: those who want to flash unleashed.
Settings are made on the master flash on the camera or ST E3 RT, and it works.
No back and forth Gelaufe for the flashes, everything under control.
(Yes, the "old" lightning can also be used in conjunction with this model, just stop in the optical mode. No, not mixed goes ....)

A few words about the cameras produced before 2012:
I got the 1D Mk4.
This offers the usual sync speed of 1 / 300s, HSS work to 1 / 8000s.
(Both are possible, according to instructions can not but prove my experience and many others in the network to the contrary)
Only the control of E- TTL is at the 1 unlike the 5D MK3:
at the 1 applies the old relationship to each other set, A: B; C again to A and B; for models from 2012 I put each group to plus or minus, and so I gave up to 5 groups.

Practical example softbox: I plug the flash into, turn on the control unit to the camera, it beeps 2x within seconds; Here we go.
with cable (E- TTL): the cable makes the shoe higher, which can be problematic in some boxes, likewise with an underlying PocketWizard.

Anyone who "just" a flash for the camera on top of it needs for the 580 or 550 I can recommend to the guide number is only marginally lower.

Oh yes: the CP E4 battery packs also fit yet.
