Has anyone used Yongnuo YN-622C flash triggers?

They are much cheaper than the competition (Pocket Wizard, Phottix Odin, Pixel King) and seem to do pretty much everything.
HSS 1/8000s with Canon Speedlites
Super Sync for studio flash heads
Wireless E-TTL or full manual control
Ratio groups (A:B, A:B:C and A:B C grouping)
Hotshoe TTL-passthrough
Even the flash zoom functionality evidently works

They don't have an LCD screen to control the flashes since everything is controlled in the camera menus (where it should be IMO).
I can't find local suppliers but at less than R1000 for a set it seems like a real bargain compared to R4500+ for Odin's or Pocket Wizards.

I was going to purchase a 10m TTL cable because I want to place a 430EX II inside a softbox where Canon's IR control won't work and I can't physically access the Speedlite to change the power setting manually if I used a non-TTL trigger.

I hope they're available soon at SACamera - someone gave me a voucher for my birthday and I've been looking for something to spend it on. :D
 
I've got the Yongnuo ST-E2, and it is very reliable.

And those look pretty :) Nice price too.

I've emailed ORMS to see if they plan to stock them since they currently sell Yongnuo RF-603C triggers.
Looks like bidorbuy is the place to get them at the moment at around R1000 including shipping or R850 excluding shipping (per pair).
Would prefer to use a local supplier though in case of dud hardware needing to be returned.
 
I have YN-622C for Canon. works like charm with my nissin di622mk2 flash
 
I ordered a pair and it cost me a whole whopping R840 including shipping so that works out to R440 per transceiver. :D
Five times cheaper than a PocketWizard TT1 or TT5 transceiver (R2300 to R2500 each).
