Review on Wireless Flash Speedlite with Radio Slave for Canon - YONGNUO YN685 - GN60 2.4G System with ETTL and HSS Capabilities by Olajuwon Achille

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Stops working after 5-10 uses.

I had other Yongnuo flashes that were workhorses. I have this for TTL capabilities. It worked fine for the first few months, but I've probably only used it 5-10 times. It was a great flash for off-camera use with the 622 transmitter, and the high-speed sync worked great. I shouldn't say that the controls aren't very easy to understand, especially on the fly. Bad news: I got a "hot" error while filming a party and it hasn't worked since. After some research I found that this is a very common occurrence with this flash model. Super screwed up. I think I'll go to Godox like so many others as Yongnuo is notorious for their poor customer service so why even try?

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something
