Review on πŸ“Έ Yongnuo YN560 IV Speedlite Flash: Master Wireless Function Support for Enhanced Photography by Lance Harrison

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works well when tried but then stops working even if not used much

I'll start by saying I already have a few of these flashes and they've turned out pretty good, although this one hasn't was So! When I got it I tried a few times with no more than 4 shots and it went fine. I didn't use it after that because, as I said, it will be a backup piece of equipment in my work. Yesterday when I had to use the flash at work a strong burning smell came out after 10 frames and when I turned it off I noticed it was smoke coming out of the battery compartment. Upon inspection, I saw that the outer part of the flash had even melted a bit. Despite the time that has passed since purchasing the product, I am writing to you as the flash obviously had a factory defect which caused it to heat up internally. The flash was like new, it hasn't been used just to prove it and on the day it showed an error with less than 10 shots. I'm really very familiar with using photographic equipment and I don't know why this happened. with new factory equipment.

Pros
  • Hands free operation
Cons
  • Very expensive
