YONGNUO YN685 GN60 2.4G System ITTL HSS Wireless Flash Speedlite with Radio Slave for Nikon DSLR Cameras

Flimsy construction even when compared to previous YONGNUO speedlights. The flash is not well built as the previous version that I own (568EXII). The LCD screen is not that clear and the LCD backlight did not work properly on first use, I had to give it a slight bump from my right hand for the backlight to work and its working now. When firing the flash at full power, I hear a metallic ding sound inside the flash. That ding sound is also found in the previous model but it is now louder. It doesnt come with diffuser dome as other version on sale on amazon. The decrease in build quality is expected since the flash holds the same specs as the previous versions and adds a radio slave feature with the same price tag. Otherwise the flash works as expected and the radio slave is working fine with the Y22N controller. I still recommend this product for external off camera flash ONLY if you are working with YONGNUO triggers and controllers. If using other trigger brands I highly recommend purchasing the older version

I wouldnt recommend this one. The build quality is cheap, esp the flash bounce card...it broke upon opening gently. I have at last 7 flash lights and even some are 14+ yrs old and this is the first time it happened to me. Initially I thought may be I got a defective one so I returned and ordered another one, even the second is also same, very very flimsy. Im going to return the second one too. I have YN560 and it very good. This one worked fine on full power till 90 shorts then I noticed burnt smell, continued till 114 and then took 4-5 seconds to recycle and finally around 130 or so it became very hot. Overall I do not recommend this flimsy product. I used fully charged Xtech AA Ultra High-Capacity 3100 batteries to test.
