Review on 📸 YONGNUO YN685: High-Speed Wireless Flash Speedlite for Nikon DSLR Cameras by Todd Mamat

Fragile design even compared to previous YONGNUO flashes. The flash is not put together as well as the previous version I own (568EXII). The LCD screen isn't that clear and the LCD backlight wasn't working properly when I first used it, I had to smack it lightly with my right hand to get the backlight to work now. When the flash fires at full power, I hear a metallic ringing in the flash. This ringing is also present on the previous model, but now louder. It doesn't come with a diffuser dome like the other versions sold on Amazon. A drop in build quality is expected as the Flash shares the same specs as previous versions and adds a slave radio feature for the same price. The rest of the flash works. as expected and the slave radio works fine with the Y22N controller. I still recommend this product for an external flash ONLY when working with YONGNUO triggers and controllers. If you use triggers from other brands, I strongly recommend buying an older version.
