De acorde a mi economía es un producto muy bueno a muy buen precio, fácil de usar, muy buena potencia, sincroniza con los radios de su misma marca a la perfección, aunque los radios no son recientes, en cuestión de entrega fue super rápido en solo 3 días me llegaron, estoy satisfecha en todos los aspectos lo recomiendo.

Je suis un utilisateur comblé des flash cobra Yongnuo. Qu'ils soient en e-ttl Canon ou en manuel comme e YN-560III. Construction équivalente à des flashs trois, quatre fois plus chers, et à l'usage, ils sont irréprochables. Je recommande à tous photographes sérieux de ne pas tomber dans le piège des marques de prestiges. Ces flashs Yongnuo, sont la preuve par la démonstration que les grandes marques nous enfument grave. Je ne vois pas en quoi mes autres cobra de marques sont meilleurs. L'interface lcd est limpide, claire et très "user friendly". A Recommander +++++++

Possedevo già due Yongnuo 560 markII, a novembre 2014 ho fatto l'upgrade al markIII. Ne ho acquistati 3 da Amazon per 200€ tondi.Li ho cambiati per sfruttare il ricevitore wireless integrato ed usarli in combo con il YN560TX preso su ebay per 35€.Questi flash hanno un rapporto qualità/funzionalità incredibile. Il corpo è un po' plasticoso ma tutto sommato ben fatto. L'elettronica è molto elaborata e completa ma allo stesso tempo intuitiva.Vorrei precisare, visto che viene chiesto spesso, che questo flash è COMPLETAMENTE MANUALE quindi bisogna dosare manualmente la potenza del lampo ma è compatibile con QUALSIASI FOTOCAMERA dotata di slitta hot-shoe.Non mi dilungo sulle caratteristiche che tanto è facile reperire, spendo qualche parola per elogiare il sistema wireless:Questo flash può essere "triggato" direttamente (senza altri accessori) dallo Yongnuo RF-602 e RF-603 ma da il meglio se usato con lo Yongnuo 560TX poiché è possibile gestire a distanza la potenza del lampo di 6 gruppi di flash. Non sono necessari altri accessori da collegare ai flash o alla macchina quindi meno batterie necessarie e tutte il formato AA (il TX usa due AA).Al momento è disponibile anche lo YN560 markIV che a differenza del III integra anche il TX.Gli unici difetti di questo sistema sono la mancanza del TLL (come detto sono dei flash manuali) e dell'HSS che ne consentirebbe l'utilizzo all'aperto. Per il resto li considero perfetti per l'utilizzo in studio (abbinati al 560TX).Piccola segnalazioneNel mese di aprile 2015 uno dei flash si è guastato, scattava solo a piena potenza. Ho contattato Amazon che l'ha sostituito con uno nuovo senza se e senza ma. In due giorni lavorativi hanno ritirato quello guasto e consegnato il nuovo. Come sempre servizio clienti impeccabile.

Amazing flash for a low price! I could get four of these (if not more!) for the price of one Canon flash... and it works! It just works, it does what it says it'll do. I'd need some Eneloop batteries or a power pack to make it work at its fullest, but it does the job perfectly even with the cheap batteries I've got right now. So far the flash did its job every single time even at higher powers.It beeps when it's done charging (you can deactivate it if it annoys you), which is awesome for me, since I work with the flash off-cam most of the time, often at an angle at which I can't see the little light that tells you if it's done charging or not. Then again, I haven't even needed to use it at full power considering how powerful it is, so I haven't had trouble with the recharging time.Since I never ever use TTL, this flash was perfect for me (I hate my flash making decisions in my place). It's easy to use, easy to understand, and you can jump right into using it even without reading the manual (which is written in quite poor English, but mine is no better because my first language is French and I've only learned English quite late in school, so I probably didn't notice it as much as people who have spoken English their entire life). There are a few functions that are hidden, but they're the customization ones such as the energy-saving time.The head can zoom, which is really nice to control its angle. Since I use it off-camera most of the time, it's only really useful to spread the light or make it a bit more focused on one spot instead.I haven't had the chance to use the Yongnuo triggers with it to test its radio capabilities, but I do plan on getting them when I'll have money to do so.Why you would WANT to buy this flash:1) Inexpensive2) Easy to use3) Can beep4) Has radio receiver inside it, though I haven't tried it yet5) Head zooms6) Fully manual (really helps understanding light when you start)7) Looks pretty damn solid for such an inexpensive flashWhy you would NOT want to buy this flash1) Fully manual (depends on what you shoot, I guess)2) Hidden custom functions3) Might be a bit tough to understand for beginners (then again, there are probably YouTube tutorials, so that's not really a reason)4) Uh... poor English in the manual? If you're a grammar nazi, it'll be tough on your eyes.So there you go, here's my review, and I plan on updating it the day I'll get Yongnuo triggers!

I'm a hobbyist with a Sony A6000, Panasonic GX1 and an RX100 (original model, no hotshoe). I bought this flash because it's much cheaper than the native auto flashes and gives the same or more light based on the published specs. Granted it's not automatic but that's a very small hurdle to overcome, especially if you're making use of an ILC. Since the multi-purpose hot shoe on the A6000 doesn't always work with standard hot shoe devices, I'm using the pop-up flash to trigger the Yongnuo and it works perfectly! Taking portraits indoors, I can stay low with the ISO and get well lit sharp pictures. It's powerful enough to bounce off the ceiling, so I can achieve little or no shadows. With the GX1, I can attach the Yongnuo to the hot shoe directly and it recognizes it perfectly fine. Just for kicks, I tried triggering the Yongnuo using the RX100 pop-up flash and that worked just as well.To get around the hot shoe problem, I purchased a couple of adapters to try and mount the flash on the camera. I ended up with two adapters, the Sony ADP-MAA and Pixel TF-325. I was then able to mount the Yongnuo on the adapters and the camera was able to trigger the flash directly. Only problem is it's quite top heavy though relatively sturdy. However, it does come with a stand and so you can place it on any flat surface or that stand can be mounted on a tripod if required.With 4 AA batteries I was able to get around 100 or so exposures at 1/8 power. Next purchase will be a battery pack and a wireless trigger to take things to the next level!Update:After a little research, it turns out that the Sony hot shoe has a thin layer of black paint on it that causes some devices, like this flash, to not be able to ground itself. Taking a nail file (sand paper would work too), I scraped off some of the paint on the undersurface of the left and right edges of the sony hot shoe being careful not to scrape anything else. And that worked perfectly. So now I can mount this flash directly on the a6000 and it triggers every time.For even more flexibility, I've added the YN560-TX to the mix. I now have the flash mounted off camera, but I can control all of its settings from the remote controller and of course trigger it.

I purchased two of these units along with the YONGNUO YN560-TX Flash Transmitter unit and have found that these items work well when used alone or as part of a multi-flash setup. They appear to be well built, but I did find one minor flaw in one of the two units I bought. I discovered that some symbols on the LCD display of one unit do not appear at any time. I'm not sure I would have figured this out if I didn't have the other unit to use as a reference, although I may have been confused by items that were shown in the user guide that didn't show up on the display. The missing symbols don't appear to affect the performance of the flash and now that I know how all the settings work, I don't even think about it anymore.I feel the flash unit has plenty of different adjustments and I found that it is capable of creating a very powerful flash at the highest setting. I wonder a bit at how long it will last at that power setting, but I usually use it at a far less powerful setting... I also bought two of the "White Flash Diffuser for YONGNUO YN 560, 565, YN560 I II II & YN565EX" available here on Amazon and found that they fit the flash just fine. The flash has a built in diffuser piece that slides out of the way when not in use and it has a white bounce panel that slides out for use when desired. These units ship with a nice case and a plastic foot that can be attached to allow the flash to stand up on a table or other flat surface.I should note that these flash units are "dumb" units in that the only information they understand from the camera is that the flash is required to fire. All of the settings on the flash are adjusted manually. I still believe this flash is an excellent value because a fully automatic flash is going to cost a lot more $'s.A note for those who are trying to get this flash to work with the YONGNUO YN560-TX Flash Transmitter: The important thing I needed to learn was that the transmitter has several different group settings and it broadcasts all of them, but it is the flash that chooses which group setting to use. You will need to pick the which group the flash will listen to using the settings on the flash unit itself.I have used these flashes in the mode where it is triggered by another flash and that works as expected.I have used both rechargeable batteries and standard Duracell AA batteries. I am quite happy with the number of flashes that were created with each set of batteries.
