This is powerful, well-done flash which is suitable for all cameras with hot shoes. The only disadvantage of the flash is that it's manual, without TTL. However, it has excellent price-to-quality ratio, so if you want TTL, you have to buy something more expensive. The flash perfoms good in case of serial shots - only with the maximum power it can miss 2 or 3 shots, but I don't think it's needed very often. Moreover, flash is perfect in slave mode - you can use it as independent flash triggered by built-in camera flash, even when the built-in one is covered by something (for example, your hand) in order not to influence the photo. By the way, I can say, that the diffusor is quite useless (so as small softbox, which I bought separately) - I guess, it is better try to use bigger studio softboxes or umbrellas. Flash stand can be mounted on tripod which is great for making simple studio lighting.Read full review

This is a manual flash. You have to focus the flash manually unless you want to use it as a slave when taking pictures indoors. In a studio. Definitely an advanced flash, You will manually have to adjust the distance and power for each shot.

recommend for beginners photographers, for very low price you get nice build flash that do his work very well and have built in radio trigger so you can use multiple flashes, its can be very handy. Because its don't have ETTL with special connection the flash can work on multiple cameras brand, I test it on Canon, Nikon and Fujifilm and the flash work without issues.

I have used the Y560 III series now for about 2 years with mixed results. 2 of the units have failed on receiving signals from the transmitter so are useless now. The others are hanging in there and work well when they work. I am hoping that the new version will hold up better. On the good side, they all seem to talk to each other well and produce a decent flash. I usually use up to 3 at a time for real estate photography and rely on them heavily. For the price are really hard to beat and can purchase several for the price of one OEM product. They are fairly easy to setup and use and the wireless capability is very good.

I was so impressed by the construction, performance, and price of my first YN 560 IV that I immediately ordered two more. Some of the built-in features the Yongnuo has that I like are the optical slave, radio slave, zooming flash head, variable angle flash head, and the variable power output. Since I shoot with a variety of cameras (e.g. small format, medium format, large format, film, digital, Canon, Nikon, Fuji, Pentax, Olympus, and a few others), I prefer not to use flash units that are dedicated to a specific camera brand. The Yongnuo YN 560 IV is not dedicated to a specific camera brand. One important feature that the Yongnuo 560 does not have is automatic exposure control. Most dedicated flash units have this feature. I, however, do not miss this feature because I do not need this feature. Since I tend to use my flash units with umbrellas and soft boxes under studio conditions and since my subjects are not constantly changing their distance from the flash, the automatic exposure control feature is of little value to me. For exposure control, I primarily shoot only at full power and use the flash guideline number and/or a handheld flash meter to determine the correct exposure.Read full review
