Review on Enhanced Yongnuo YN-560 IV Flash Speedlite for Canon Nikon Pentax Olympus DSLR Cameras, Including EACHSHOT Diffuser by Doug Mancilla

Revainrating 5 out of 5

My session saved! No hesitation

I was a little hesitant about buying this flash because I looked at a million reviews and they all said that the quality was great at first but over time subsides. I mostly shoot in the studio, but sometimes I do weddings too. I received this unit as well as two YN560 III. I decided to take the plunge and buy this YN560 IV because it can act as a master for the YN560 IIIs I've bought. When they arrived earlier this week I just left them in the boxes because I didn't need them for a while, but there was a situation in the studio where my flash wouldn't fire because my trigger stopped working. I couldn't transfer the session so I immediately put it on a Canon 6D hot shoe and installed another YN560 III. They worked well together and I couldn't be happier. This situation strengthened my trust in this light. The quality and functionality are perfect for what I need. I can't wait to have this device for my upcoming weddings. The glowing screen, buttons and easy setup are the perfect touches for this device. When you turn on the device for the first time, you will hear the noise the device makes at the default volume. You can just turn it off, which is amazing. I've had devices that required me to google how to turn them off, which was very annoying. The diffuser makes it even better because it softens the light a bit. My shadows were less harsh when I placed them on the device. The package comes with a diffuser already attached. I took it off to check the light and was able to put it back on with no problem. I read that some people had problems with the diffuser, but I had NO problem with the diffuser! I am very happy with my purchase!

Works great. Batteries feel like lava.
