Review on YONGNUO YN24EX E-TTL Macro Flash Speedlite 5600K for Canon EOS 1Dx 5D3 6D 7D 70D 80D Cameras by Stanisaw Pirkowski ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best thing I've ever used, a great item for everyone!

This flash is useful when shooting at a scale of 1:1 - insects, moss, various elements of flowers and plants (petals, pistils, stamens, leaves), etc. If you shoot at high magnification (Canon MP-E 65), use macro rings, or macro bellows, then it is simply necessary. I shoot with diffusers (to soften the light). Made from ordinary diffusers for a standard flash (size 60 x 40 mm). They fit perfectly, you just need to slightly modify it with a clerical knife (the issue price is 190). The diffusers themselves and examples of photos taken using this flash can be viewed here: Good luck to all those who are fond of macro photography, as well as dentists. )))

Pros
  • 1. Good quality at an affordable price (you can buy 6 of these flashes for the price of a fellow from Canon, the choice is yours). 2. Each flash head is configured separately for both TTL and manual mode (if desired, one can be turned off). The tilt angles of the heads and their position on the attachment ring also change (everything is fixed, although the ring itself rotates freely, with effort). 3. LED focusing light (as a rule, when there is not enough light, autofocus starts to dull, the backlight completely eliminates this problem). 4. Convenient fastening-latch to the hot shoe (all contacts are closed with a rubberized side). 5. A set of adapter rings in the kit (52, 58, 67 and 72 mm). 6. Convenient bag for storage and carrying.
Cons
  • (light quibbles) 1. Weight. Approximately 900 g (including batteries, adapter ring and mount). As a result, the camera, lens and flash weigh approximately 2.5 kg. 2. No high-speed sync (do not jump above 1/180s).
