I think the new Yngnuo 685 flashes have the 6ssC built in so you might just need the 622C Tx and a single 622C for the 430EXII5DIII, 5DII with Grips| 24-70 f2.8L MkII | 24-105 f4L IS | 70-200 f2.8L IS MkII | 50 f/1.4 | 85 f1.8 | 100 f2.8 | 1.4x MkII | Tamron 17-35 f2.8-4 | 580EX II | 600EX RT | Stofen Diffuser | Manfroto 190 CF Tripod w/490RC2 | Epson R3000 | Lexmark CS 510 DE | Nova 5 AW | Mini Trekker AW | Lowepro x300AW | Lastolite Gear (inc HiLite 6x7) | Elinchrom Studio Gear & Quadras

Re: Flash combination
I bought a Canon Speedilte 90ex to do the samething with my 580 ex and 430exii. Would like a champ and it is inexpensive.

It obviously depends where you use them - but at an event or in bright sunshine an optical slave is not a particularly good thing.
Radio triggers are much more secure, and work over longer distances too and round corners and the sun won't affect the way they work but like I say it does depend how you use them5DIII, 5DII with Grips| 24-70 f2.8L MkII | 24-105 f4L IS | 70-200 f2.8L IS MkII | 50 f/1.4 | 85 f1.8 | 100 f2.8 | 1.4x MkII | Tamron 17-35 f2.8-4 | 580EX II | 600EX RT | Stofen Diffuser | Manfroto 190 CF Tripod w/490RC2 | Epson R3000 | Lexmark CS 510 DE | Nova 5 AW | Mini Trekker AW | Lowepro x300AW | Lastolite Gear (inc HiLite 6x7) | Elinchrom Studio Gear & Quadras

Re: Flash combination
[QUOTE=EOS_Jim;323142]The YN622C for your flashes and the YN622C Tx on top of your camera to trigger them will work.
This is the combo that I have and it works a treat.

So if you plan on doing a lot of weddings or seeking to make a living doing portrait work, then I highly Agee with you about a radio system. Or if you have a lot of cash and money doesn't matter, radio is the way to go. However if your on a budget and want to play with High Speed Sync, then this is a viable alternative verses the $300 optical unit that Canon also sells

There's lots of very cheap real triggers and flashes cheaper than canon flashes. You can save lots looking at the yongnuo units5DIII, 5DII with Grips| 24-70 f2.8L MkII | 24-105 f4L IS | 70-200 f2.8L IS MkII | 50 f/1.4 | 85 f1.8 | 100 f2.8 | 1.4x MkII | Tamron 17-35 f2.8-4 | 580EX II | 600EX RT | Stofen Diffuser | Manfroto 190 CF Tripod w/490RC2 | Epson R3000 | Lexmark CS 510 DE | Nova 5 AW | Mini Trekker AW | Lowepro x300AW | Lastolite Gear (inc HiLite 6x7) | Elinchrom Studio Gear & Quadras

Re: Flash combination
I just bought a used set of 4 622c with a 622c TX from ebay for £85. They are like new, with the plastic film still attached. Great set. The TX controls the TTL from the camera, but the tranceivers will work on their own, without TTL control. I have YN 568EX and 560ii speedlights. Unfortunately, the TX doesn't work with the 560, but that isn't a huge problem for me.

It's not really a great solution as you can buy a couple of Yn 622 triggers/receivers for about the same money and they will work better5DIII, 5DII with Grips| 24-70 f2.8L MkII | 24-105 f4L IS | 70-200 f2.8L IS MkII | 50 f/1.4 | 85 f1.8 | 100 f2.8 | 1.4x MkII | Tamron 17-35 f2.8-4 | 580EX II | 600EX RT | Stofen Diffuser | Manfroto 190 CF Tripod w/490RC2 | Epson R3000 | Lexmark CS 510 DE | Nova 5 AW | Mini Trekker AW | Lowepro x300AW | Lastolite Gear (inc HiLite 6x7) | Elinchrom Studio Gear & Quadras

The 622C should work with the 560 as well although not in TTL because it's a manual only speedlight
Hope that helps ;)5DIII, 5DII with Grips| 24-70 f2.8L MkII | 24-105 f4L IS | 70-200 f2.8L IS MkII | 50 f/1.4 | 85 f1.8 | 100 f2.8 | 1.4x MkII | Tamron 17-35 f2.8-4 | 580EX II | 600EX RT | Stofen Diffuser | Manfroto 190 CF Tripod w/490RC2 | Epson R3000 | Lexmark CS 510 DE | Nova 5 AW | Mini Trekker AW | Lowepro x300AW | Lastolite Gear (inc HiLite 6x7) | Elinchrom Studio Gear & Quadras

As far as TTL control from the camera, I am pretty sure that that isn't possible with the 1dsii. That capability was added from the 1dsiii, as far as I can tell. I may well be wrong on that though
Thanks,

Yes the 1D2 is a bit long in the tooth now as far as tech goes but still an amazing camera5DIII, 5DII with Grips| 24-70 f2.8L MkII | 24-105 f4L IS | 70-200 f2.8L IS MkII | 50 f/1.4 | 85 f1.8 | 100 f2.8 | 1.4x MkII | Tamron 17-35 f2.8-4 | 580EX II | 600EX RT | Stofen Diffuser | Manfroto 190 CF Tripod w/490RC2 | Epson R3000 | Lexmark CS 510 DE | Nova 5 AW | Mini Trekker AW | Lowepro x300AW | Lastolite Gear (inc HiLite 6x7) | Elinchrom Studio Gear & Quadras

Re: Flash combination
I have the YN622c TX and 2 YN622c transceivers. Also have a YN685c flash which has the built in 622 receiver. With the tx on all three flashes are controlled through the camera external flash menu.
