![]() So I use one RF603II for Canon on my X-Pro, and a RF603 (Mk1) attached to a Canon 430EXII Speedlite flash. The Yongnuo triggers are backwards compatible. The good news is that if you do own an older pair of the Mk1 RF603 wireless triggers, you only need to buy one of the RF603II for your X-Pro1. Based on my online research, the Yongnuo RF603s for Nikon don’t work on the X-Pro, and neither do the first model of the RF603 for Canon. It’s important to have the RF603II model of the 603 triggers, as they have a switch to force the triggers into transmitter mode when you attach them to the X-Pro’s hot shoe. My C3 cord version of the Yongnuo RF603II works perfectly as a wireless trigger on my X-Pro1 (obviously I don’t use the cord at all though). Yongnuo sell two models of cord for Canon DSLRs – the C1 and the C3. These triggers are designed to work with Canon DSLRs, and also come with a wired cord you can connect to the Canon’s shutter trigger socket for remote shooting. The Yongnuo wireless triggers I have are the RF603 II, specifically the model with the C3 cord for Canon. Wireless off-camera flash with the Fuji X-Pro1 Pair of Yongnuo RF603II Wireless Triggers for Canon (C3 Cable Model) + Flashįor my personal off-camera flash setup for the X-Pro1 I use a pair of Yongnuo wireless flash triggers which are really cheap! I used these triggers on my Canon DSLR, but I had to buy a newer model of them to get them to work with my Fuji. General Advice: Make sure Silent Mode on the X-Pro1 is set to ‘Off’ as this will ensure the hotshoe is active and the flash will fire. Note: My X-Pro1 is running firmware 3.40.

So now that I own an X-Pro1 myself and have had the opportunity to test it with a couple of off-camera flash accessories, I thought I’d share with you 4 off-camera flash setups I’ve found that seem to work well on the X-Pro1. Reports on the forums were conflicting about what worked and what didn’t. By contrast, what I’ve read online suggests the X-Pro1 is a little bit more fussy about its flash accessories, and as a slightly more niche product, it was a bit of a minefield knowing what flash accessories I could get to work with the camera. ![]() As Canon are such a mainstream brand with huge DSLR sales, I had a huge wealth of information and research by real users online to draw on. With my Canon 6D I had a huge range of accessories to choose from for off-camera flash, and the knowledge that what worked for one Canon DSLR was bound to work for another. When I was first looking at buying my Fuji X-Pro1 I felt very limited by the flash photography options offered by this camera system, especially as I wanted to practice off-camera flash street photography with it. By contrast mirrorless cameras as a professional and prosumer tool are newer arrivals on the block, and the flash accessories for these cameras are still developing and being refined. DSLR technology has well and truly matured now, and the fact that DSLRs have been widely used in the professional sphere for well over a decade means that supported accessories for these cameras (and most importantly a flash system) are easy to come by. One of the huge benefits to using DSLR cameras for photographers – and particularly DSLRs manufactured by the ‘big hitters’ Canon and Nikon – is the massive ecosystem of supported accessories available for these cameras. ![]() As you may or not know, I recently made the decision to swap my DSLR for a mirrorless camera for street photography. ![]()
