Yongnuo YN-560 IV Flash Speedlite for Canon Nikon Pentax Olympus DSLR Cameras With EACHSHOT Diffuser

Comment

I bought two of these flashes recently. It was the week before a big wedding gig and my canon flash took a dump. I borrowed two more of the exact flash from a fellow photographer friend. The venue we were shooting was extremely low light, even during the day (eek!). But I had these lights mounted in three corners, with the 4th on my camera. My FAVORITE thing about these flashes is that one flash can be used to control the others. Its not only a money saver, but its VERY convenient. I shot for 10 hours with the flash mounted on my camera, and for at least 4 with the remaining lights. I only had to change the batteries once or twice throughout the event. My ONLY complaint about these flashes is that one of them got REALLY hot. Im talking, depths-of-hell, melt-the-batteries (literally) hot. The indicator light warned me of the heat and the flash shut itself off. When I went to remove the batteries, they burned the ever-loving hell out of my hand. Obviously, that flash got put in time-out to cool off. Once it cooled, I replaced the batteries and it was fine for the remainder of the shoot. It hasnt happened since then, but Ive not put it through the rigors of another 10 hour day either. I probably should have returned that particular flash but its a little too late. Of the four I had going, only one became a Hades-level inferno. The remaining 3 worked like a charm and kept their cool. I definitely recommend this flash, even above the Canon speedlite that I have. It seems much more straightforward, easier to use and the trigger function is FABULOUS; just watch your hands if the flash gets hot. ;)

Being the amateur photographer that I am, I couldnt get myself to spend hundreds of dollars on a flash, especially knowing that flash is something I will use only once in awhile. So I looked around and finally settled on YN-560 IV and I was more than pleased with it. This flash with its diffuser worked perfectly for my Sony A7s and the recharge time was quick enough for me. Even though its manual and doesnt have TTL, I like the fact that it has all sorts of different functions that will make this the must-have flash for your photography gears. A few downside that knocked off one star for me were: - Ive had the hardest time on taking out the build-in diffuser. Thank goodness for the other diffuser that comes with it... - When the diffuser is attached to the flash, it wont fit into the nice case that comes with it -- itll slightly be taller so you wont be able to close the top. I would think that if Yongnuo is selling the two in a package, it would have enough space for it but sadly it doesnt. Overall, Id highly suggest this flash to any amateur AND professional photographers!

Install Flash Player I was a little hesitant to buy this speedlight unit because I watched a million reviews and they all said the quality was great at first, but over time it does break. I photograph mainly in studio, but on the occasion I do weddings. I got this unit as well as two YN560 IIIs. I chose to make the jump and purchase this YN560 IV because it can act as a Master for the YN560 IIIs I purchased. When they came in earlier this week I left them in the boxes just because I didnt need them for a while, but had a situation in studio where my strobe wouldnt fire due to my trigger going dead. I couldnt reschedule the session so I immediately put this on my Canon 6D hotshoe and set up one more YN560 III. They worked seamlessly together and I couldnt have been happier. This situation assured my trust in this light. The quality and functionality is perfect for what I needed. I cant wait to this unit at my upcoming weddings. The light up screen, buttons and easy set up were all perfect touches for this unit. When you first turn on the unit you will hear the noise the unit makes as far as the standard sound. You can turn it off easily which is amazing. I have had units where I had to google how to turn it off which is super annoying. The diffuser makes it even better because it does soften the light a bit more. My shadows were less punchy when I place it over the unit. It comes out the packaging with the diffuser already on it. I took it off to check the light out and was able to put it back on very easily. I did read that some people have had problems with the diffuser, but I had NO ISSUES WITH THE DIFFUSER! Im beyond satisfied with my purchase!

Love Yonguos line of Flashes. Every bit as powerful as Canon flashes at a fraction of the price. Have had a few for several years now. The build doesnt *feel* as solid as a Canon flash, but dont be fooled. Mine have fallen over more than once and didnt break. Only complaint is the mounting feature; I like Canons snap connector better than the Yongnuo screw down type. But overall a great flash and long lasting.

Ive been using these for a while in multiple configurations, as slaves, masters etc. And they have yet to fail me. The only thing they could improve a little bit is with a decent instructions booklet to set them up for the various configurations they can be used. I mean, they come with instructions, but they are very basic and you may have a hard time trying to figure how to configure them in a specific way. Other than that, they are beautiful and reliable. I have some rechargeable batteries that I use with these, and I have never run out of juice in the middle of a session. I can absolutely recommend them over the crazy expensive branded ones.

took some time getting used to this flash but it works well after you learn it. The flash is more along the cool side on the kelvin scale so you may want to gel your flash if youre using this in a venue with warmer lighting or even outside so your flash doesnt throw off natural light color. On 1/1 its strong and on its lowest 1/128 its really not that strong (this is a given but depending on what youre going for its really not pumping much light even as a fill) in my opinion and ive done tests in my house at night. I would get another flash from them if Im on a budget but after renting a nikon brand (SB-910) and seeing the value of the flash and quality Im eventually going to try and move to brand flashes

These are AMAZING. I am normally incredibly weary about using third party products for professional work, but I am sure glad I tried these out! They are exactly as advertised and have a surprisingly high quality feel to them. I use a set of three for photographing weddings and have not had a single worry of them letting me down. I have noticed one problem with radio trigger mode when using one of these on camera as the transmitter; The power of the on camera flash is severely reduced from the shown settings when transmitting the radio, while the flash receiving the trigger gives the proper output.

If your looking for TTL then this flash is not for you. This flash Is all manual settings witch is what most the pros use when doing protriat or modeling. Works great for catalog photography and other things. I am using it for off camera flash and found out one is not enough so ended up getting a second one. A bit of a learning curve to get the lighting correct. With all that the flash works great so far. Recycling time depends on the power output setting. Zoom works and has a pull out lens to spread the ligh. Basically gives you full control of your lighting and ability to create. For less that a 100 bucks it is worth it

I own three of these including the transmitter and its worked great so far. I use it professionally for a mobile studio for headshots and portraits. Fairly reliable and my rechargeable Eneloops tend to last an entire session. Bit of a learning curve to use these flashes but theres a number of YouTube videos explaining and detailing all of its functions. Great speedlights and a good value.
