Opinion:After 2 years I can say that Yongnuo's weak point is reliability. It worked smoothly for 6 months, now when I turn it on it remains 15 minutes with half screen lcd without information, then "magically recover - and when it goes well - but it is not constant. I should send it for assistance but then I think "who makes me do it?..... Bought for 150 euros does not deserve them. Flunked.
Pros:Economical and as long as it works it does quite well his duty
Cons:Unreliable in time, a toy, is worth what it costs, indeed, the long perhaps less, since it is to be thrown.
Opinion:Bought and used very little unfortunately, because if I had used more probably would have spoiled before and I would have time to return it and make me change. Documenting me on the net, it seems that almost more than 50% of the Yongnuo flash go against several problems and in particular the problem that is no longer modifiable power. Whatever setting you set he shoots always at maximum power. I found several discussions there many forums and it seems that the solution is the substitution of an IGBT transistor that regulates the power. I will try because I am quite knowledgeable in the field of electronics, welding etc. But I strongly advise against buying this flash as well as anything else from Yongnuo brand. I tried the famous 50mm and of course resold in record time, they are toys suitable for those who want to do some testing without fazing, but if you have have to take pictures even just a minimum seriously, not necessarily professionally, I highly recommend to leave it alone.
Opinion:I got used to the sturdiness and reliability of YN560 III and IV, but it turned out to be a half-bin. The flash itself works, in the sense that it snaps, it has an AF illuminator and the TTL calculates by itself the power and the parabola, the problem is that it does everything in a very rough way as classic for the Chinese devices by the bombastic specifications: the TTL always needs to Some power retouching (or corrections in post), the Af illuminator is not always quick and accurate and the construction is plasticosa (even compared to the YN560), especially the hot shoe attack not by great confidence and after a while I broke the diffuser for the 20mm (with the risk that The zoom of the parabola remains planted at the focal length). I took it used almost new to 70 euros I think, I used it sometimes for work purposes and luckily I rarely use it for those, I should go back I probably would not buy it, Sconsigliatissimo take it again, at the prices at which it is a theft.
Pros:Price, HSS, functions quite the same as the home competitor, compact, softness of light, balance, measurement, power dosage, construction, coverage from 20 to 200mm, charging time
Cons:the materials are certainly not the same as the Canon, but it has quality plastics, the laser focus could be better, a little pesantuccio but you get used to it...
Opinion:bought very recently, I was immediately amazed at the charging time, the softness of the light and the balance followed by a good measurement, constant and precise, the price then for the functions and overall is really a bargain... obviously it's not an original Canon but in this case this competing house did a really good job... I recommend it!
Pros:Price, presence of advanced features, value for money, tilt and 360 ° wheel, wide panel and wide reflection board.
Cons:Constructive quality, inexplicable malfunctions (see review below), is not for professional use (a concept that is questionable as I use it in my work).
Opinion:I bought this flash for my Canon 1200D having read so many negative reviews and knew what I was up against. I use it to document clinical cases and occasionally in specific photographic projects. The design quality leaves to be desired, it is a "plastic" already after very few exits rubber plugs (brackets, PCs and external power supplies never used) are forced by forcing me to put on the black insulating tape. After pausing moments it is slow to awaken, then it happens to take a few flashes without the flash, I use it only with dedicated ENELOOP PRO batteries and it happens often that the battery indicator is not true to the residual energy, in practice you even half charged And then the flash goes off because the batteries are empty. Concluding I can recommend it to those who use flash me on a few occasions and want a powerful flash (I used it in a gym on karate athletes 6-7 meters and did its worthy work) and cheap (little more Of 100 euro% 29, All in all, the advanced commands are valuable and accurate, enabling you to get acquainted with the flash. However, I do not mind the ones who would like to do professional use (especially portraiture / sports) and who need a fast and reliable flash. RnrnP.S. The white balance is always corrected in PPrnrnSalutirnMarco Luciano
Opinion:PROBLEMS ON CONTACT SLITTArnMi happened that the flash mounted on the camera, in the ETTL, stop shooting. Was turned on (gave no sign of major problems, overheating type), it worked with the "PILOT", but rather by pressing the shutter button of the machine was wrong. In addition, pressing the shutter button halfway, he not even projected the grid for the AF, so I thought it would be a contact issue between flash and camera. Theory that was then simply confirmed by the fact that, by moving the flash unit on the sled and holding it in a certain position, resumed funzionare.rnrnPROBLEMI OF SYNCHrnHo also had sync problems between the machine and flash. In particular, it happened to have only one third (in the photo "enlightened" horizontally, the lower one) from the flash while the rest was as if the flash had not been there. Probably it is a synchronization problem between the flash and the curtain of the camera. It does not always happen but certainly you can not work in they hopeza not accada.rnrnDopo the firmware upgrade (the Canon 70D is that the flash) the problem reliably persiste.rnrnPoco ...
Pros:Price, quality and pro functions, Firmware upgradeable via USB, up to 200mm focal
Cons:Attack the slide improvable, missing the Italian manual white balance (read review)
Opinion:Well it built even if the attack on the sled tends to have a slight clearance (rotating) while being blocked. This rotation deflects the focus IR beam flash fire wrong, well, alignment with the field of view (just rotate during focusing to restore the alignment). impeccable exposure E-TTL and very uniform light on the entire screen. In close-ups there is a slight under-exposure of the lower horizontal zone (the light beam is raised because of the height of the parabola from the axis lens) and also using the included white panel, the "defect" is not totally resolved (but I think is a problem with all the flash). My individual (and many others as I read on the net) should be used with the white balance set to AWB because, using the flash mode, sporadically gives me picture with green or red dominant (mainly shooting in RAW) without a precise logic or condition. The beauty is that, in Camera RAW, known foto perfectly restorable in the original colors. The manual is in Chinese and English, although the latter is not perfectly translated, you can see the original of Canon 600. A note: I do not like that the SEL / SET button, the center of the wheel, is free to rotate .
Pros:Price, value for money, quality construction, power
Cons:Nobody
Opinion:I state that I am neither an expert nor a professional, so I never used intensively, making the most of a hundred shots at every opportunity, I use 6/7 months now and I have never had problems, autonomy it seems more than acceptable, definitely recommend it to all those who need to make a home use.
Opinion:I have two copies of this flash and I was excited from the start, I admit that I have never had confrontations with other flash, I went immediately to this and I have no direct relation with the original, but from the beginning I was fine both with 600ex that with the transmitter yn st3. The structure seems sturdy and well made, a slight note of is the charging time at full power and that some time during a shoot, I happened to see one go out, do not know why, I thought the batteries, but is enough to turn off the switch and turn it on again to restart it.
Opinion:I state to leave an opinion biased, so as to also see the other side of the coin of these prodotti.rnDopo purchasing the first copy of the abovementioned flash (coupled with the radio transmitter), the text in a disco. Excellent results, the flash works so well in ttl, I'm really happy with my acquisto.rnLa following week, the other night at the club, after 4 hours of pictures (approximately 400 shots taken), the indicator lamp overheating. I turn off the flash and let it stand for 30 minutes, when the power back is still transmission overheating, therefore finish my lavoro.rnA distance of a couple of days, I try to turn on the flash, but the problem persists, it became unusable since the signal of overheating does not disappear, even after trying several times to restore the settings and change the pile.rnReso made and timely repayment of Amazon (highly recommended), purchase a new copy which I received ieri.rnIl flash it is perfect, new and with theprotective films, there are signs of shock in the package, but trying to shoot, the flash does not emit the flash, nor radio, nor on camera. Tomorrow I will carry out a re-made, and I will try one last time to order a third specimen, hoping that does not cause problems. In essence, not all that glitters is gold, but encountering an exemplary successful, certainly does not feel the lack of the twin canon
Pros:Price / performance ratio, Af assistant, radio system wifi
Cons:For now, no.
Opinion:Well, it is not the canon, I know, but the quality is there. I have two that control with the controller yn st3 and I had a 568ex and 560exIi. The quality of the 600ex is far superior, the best plastic, the attack on the slide and the battery cover that on older models was fragile (on 568exII I changed) .rnIn Ettl is fine and control it from the car or from ' st3 is a pleasure. Straconsigliato, for me it is the only alternative to the canon.
Pros:Purchase price much lower than the original Canon - rnbuona overall build quality
Cons:coupling system to slide the camera a little bit balance, missing manual instructions in Italian
Opinion:I arrived today and I immediately made some test shots: definitely a very good flash, I tried it in slave mode and gives results really egregious, I do not regret the money (few compared to the quality of the product) spent on buying .rnmi intend to try it in more depth in the prox days. Too bad that the manual is only in Chinese and English. I hope someone show me where to find it in Italian (I would avoid a long copy / paste from the various translation sites online).
Cons:Battery consumption is not comparable to the twin brother of Canon.
Opinion:Maybe not is weather sealed but at a price so low you can not have everything. Taken recently but I already like functions and velocità.Strutturalmente maybe it's not as Canon but I think that's okay stesso.rnLo council also professionals as the second flash to be coupled to Canon.
Cons:Selective ring not really very accurate .. Sometimes jumps stop some care must be taken.
Opinion:Great flash for that price also view the radio, to be reviewed (in accuracy) the ring selective. Great for the rest. (Missing tropicalization but at that price ..) Combined with a yn e3 RT (100 EUR) allows you to build a system with 1.4 flash money than canon.rnOvviamente recommended for amateurs, professionals who turn to the build quality and reliability of the original (though he never missed a shot) .rnAGGIORNAMENTO: after 6 months I have noticed a slight shift of radius af, zooming to 70mm you notice that it is slightly to the upper right. Asked for replacement. No problem with amazon, replaced .. Appearance new one.
