Wireless TTL flash with Fuji X-T1

[pez]

Extra to my last contrribution with my Xpro/Xt1 and Catus V6 I use Nikon SB600 and SB800 flash units plus my Fujifilm EF42 - but but don't forget it is all in manual mode. For exposure I use Sekonic Flashmate L-308S.  However, why not just start with a guess multi braketed exposure and you very quickly not need a flash meter.

John Poremba (Roboshoot) is a delegate at my workshop in Santa Barbara. So those who take part at this event will have the opportunity to personally ask him about his Fuji-compatible wireless TTL products. I assume he'll also bring a demo unit.

Elinchrom EL-Skyport Transmitter SPEED is a universal trigger for studio flashes.

Unfortunately, the new EL-Skyport transmitter Plus HS is available for Canon or Nikon DSLRs only. Too bad that most lighting equipment manufacturers still neglect Fujifilm.

I started using the YN622N-TX with two YN622N II on SB-800 and SB-600.  It works but completely manual.  You can't even change the setting from the transmitter to increase flash exposure, you have to do it on the flash itself. I think it is a bit of an overkill for $200.  There must be something simpler as the YN622N-TX has so many functions that you cannot use. The various channels are useless as you have to change the setting on each flash anyway.

How about the Fuji EF-X500?

It seems like the Yungnow YN622C-TX works better than the YN622N-TX.  And I think it is because the Cannon version has the legacy option.  If you have Nikon gear u might as well opt for the Yongnuo RF-602 Wireless Flash Trigger Kit & Shutter Release since you cannot control the flash output wirelessly on the YN622N-TX (Why I don't know, mine does not work).
