📸 YONGNUO YN-568EX II High-Performance TTL Flash Speedlite Compatible with Canon E-TTL/E-TTL II Cameras Review

Edited: 08/02/2018 The flash on the camera fires, but this cannot be seen in the pictures. It can't control other flashes like it used to (I used 2 Canon 430 EXii and 1 Yongnuo YN560 IV which still work fine). I can use it as an optical slave, but the power management doesn't work. It runs at full capacity regardless of the settings I make. When I set the flash to 1/1 or 1/128, the light is very strong (full power), the batteries heat up very quickly, the recharge time is very slow, obviously…

I bought it in 2017 and as a newbie I decided to save some money by buying a Yongnuo. But I never managed to get it to work properly with automatic settings. So I used the manual, which was annoying, and eventually gave up trying to learn how to use flash. A few years later I know what I'm doing and it seems like that flash actually broke. walk. In ETTL mode, it flashes but doesn't sync to the shutter speed, so the flash fires too early or too late, making it useless for ETTL. This issue has…

I have 4 other YN flashes (560 III @ 560 IV) that I shoot in manual mode with the YN 560 TX and they work well enough for outdoor portraits or if the object flashes constantly. Over time I've learned to set up my frame in a shot or two, but when I use it for bounce flash it's a little problematic. YN 568 EX II is the only TTL flash I own. I bought it mainly for indoor bounce flash photography when my subjects are moving and for that purpose this flash works great. Set it to TTL to take a shot…

If you have a DSLR, you really need an external flash. Even with the built-in pop-up flash, the number of uses is quite limited. This is a TTL measurement with an infrared sensor. Among the features that got me going were the price (compared to Canon's OEM with similar features), the pan/tilt head, the zoom function, the built-in flash card and diffuser, and the ability to operate in manual or auto mode work. a flash of this size, it's pretty light. It is powered by 4 AA batteries. It can act…

I haven't used flash for a long time so time will tell how it fares; but for a hundred dollars this thing does 98 percent of what the $400 version from Canon does. I can buy three of these AND three yn 622 c flash triggers for a little more than a Canon 560. A few things to note though: 1) It doesn't have a weather protection like Canon, so if you're shooting indoors the rain flash (don't know why you should) is probably not a good idea. 2) You can't connect an external battery to it like…

Seems like a great alternative to the Cannon Speedlight. I've found it to not be able to recycle super fast with the high output power of high-end professional flashes, but for me it works very well at this price point. I can see other pros really set on taking 5+ flash burst shots while I only get a few. You know people who carry around a large power supply. The plastic diffuser on top scared me a bit and I couldn't adjust the zoom. Finally found a solution to the problem in the instructions…

I can see other pros really set on taking 5+ flash burst shots while I only get a few. You know the guys who lug around a big PSU in the trash. I got a little scared when the plastic diffuser at the top was a bit extended and I couldn't adjust the zoom. Finally found a solution to the problem…

I have a YN560 III that I love. I had it for about a year and it worked very well. I decided to try YN568 EX II to use high speed sync. I received this flash last week and it worked great initially. I put it on my camera and tested the high-speed sync feature, which worked well. I then had fun using ETTL around the house (I used to only use manual flash), took lots of shots and tried to get it off camera with the YN622c remotes. That worked great and I was very happy with it. Then I set up an…

I'll start by saying that I'm primarily a wedding photographer. I LOVE flashlight. When I'm using studio lighting, all these features mean nothing to me, but in the field, when you don't have time to use light meters and take a billion test shots, you need these features. The ETTL on this thing was flawless and the HSS is way more capable than I thought it would be. I have a Canon 430EXII along with other flashes, but I don't even use my (overpriced) Canon flash unless I need to use multiple…
