Good but could include extra cable
Good when used on its own but you need another cable to use it with a Godox trigger. It would have been nice if this had been included.

Yongnuo RF-603NII-N3 Flash triggers; great for Pentax users and don't be fooled by the price.
These are pretty impressive and perform as well as some triggers costing several times as much. When I received the package I was eager to test them, and they passed every test I threw at them. I got a friend to hold my flashgun in my bedroom while I triggered from the living room, to see what the signal penetration was like. The flash fired reliably even through the supporting wall that separates the two rooms. It also fired at a range of more than fifty yards when we tried it outside. Very nice.They are very lightweight, so at first I though they might be fragile, but when you get hold of them they don't flex noticeably, so in spite of the low weight they seem quite solid. They are also easy to set up and use, and channel selection is easy in case of a clash with another user in the same area. With sixteen channels to choose from avoiding conflicts should always be possible.I'm using the Nikon dedicated set, which is what you should use if, like me, you have a Pentax camera. You will need to set the flash using manual control modes, but it will work just fine. Apparently the Canon version of the product doesn't work well with a Pentax DSLR, and with some Pentax cameras won't work at all. There are only three versions of the product and in most countries you can only get two of those easily. Canon dedicated, Nikon dedicated sets are easy to get. There's also a non-dedicated version apparently, but those are hard to obtain and the manufacturer may have ceased production.Still the Nikon version works well with my Pentax DSLR and I'm very happy at the performance so far. I used two pairs of these recently in a shoot, one mounted on the camera as the transmitter and the other three acting as receivers triggering the flashguns I was using. There were no trigger failures through the entire shoot except a couple that were my fault (not waiting long enough for the flashguns to recharge). The shoot took much longer than expected because it's a long time since I did a portrait shoot, and the batteries lasted through it all though they were cheap AAA old-fashioned Zinc-Carbon batteries - yes, you can still get them! So rock solid performers in my tests and on a proper shoot, these turned out to be money well spent!

I have a Nikon D7100 and Nikon SB28 flash Gun plus Nikon SB910 and Canon 540EZ Speedlight and the Yongnuo RF 603Nii-N3 work with
This item Yongnuo RF-603NII-N3 Wireless Flash Trigger Kit for Nikon Nikon D90 / D7000 / D7100 / D5000 / D5100 / D5200 / D3100 / D3200 / D600.I have a Nikon D7100 and Nikon SB28 flash Gun plus Nikon SB910 and Canon 540EZ Speedlight and the Yongnuo RF 603Nii-N3 work with all three speed lights plus I'm able to fire the shutter wirelessly all at the same time I am quite amazed how fast and cost effective these triggers are. I purchased on Amazon Sunday 12th July 2015 at 19:00 and did not expect them to arrive until mid week around 3 to 4 days but to my surprise next day Monday 13th July at 19:00 my order had arrived, and it was free delivery. Highly recommended to all I have tested the items and did not even open the instructions as the setup is very simple and straightforward no complications what so ever. I have read a review one buyer saying that they are useless as he is getting a black bar at bottom of photos taken that's not the fault of the triggers but the shutter speed set on camera is too fast therefore the triggers cannot sync. Set your camera shutter max to 250 and you will find that these triggers will fire every time and the sync between camera and triggers will match problem with black bars at bottom of pictures taken rectified. Overall build quility very good, value for money and very easy to setup and use no degree needed.

Opens up a new world of flash photography!
I read the reviews for the older version (complete with negative comments about fiddly on/off switch and no hotshoe lock) and was feeling uncertain, then noticed this new version. Looks like Yongnuo learned from their mistakes and came up with the goods.If you want a basic flash trigger, then for the price, look no further. You have to use the flash in manual mode, but with digital cameras, that's no big deal as you can review your pics instantly and make any necessary adjustments. Bonus feature is the ability to use the trigger (with or without flash) as a wireless remote. This is great with flash as well; you can set you camera up, then move to where you want the flash and press the button on the trigger to fire the camera (and flash). Lots of fun!For the price, I don't see how you can go wrong.A couple of things; there is no automatic metering (you have to pay a lot more for triggers that do that) and for some reason, EXIF data attached to photos will say that the flash didn't fire. At least that's the case with my Nikon. Not deal breakers by any means, but just so you know.

Can't fault it at the price.
Does the job efficiently and at much lower cost than the "official" versions. Of course it doesn't do all the stuff the expensive Nikon radio control does, but if you just want something that will fire your flash units wirelessly, or, like me, just want to trigger the shutter remotely, this is an ideal inexpensive solution. In shutter release mode, it supports the half-press of the button which triggers focus and metering, as well as the full press which releases the shutter. I've checked it over about 50m and it has no problem with that range. One minor hitch sometimes is the pairing which seems to take place when the units are first turned on, which doesn't always take. Before use with the camera ensure the units are talking to each other by pressing the button on one and watching the reaction on the other's monitor LED. If not, just turn off and on again. This may save you a long walk back to the camera!The units are light but seem robust enough and are well finished. Make sure you get the kit with the correct lead and connector for your particular brand of camera.
