Buy: Yongnuo YN-568EX I 4-Channel TTL Flash Speedlite for Nikon i-TTL Cameras

Got a couple of these to pair with a SB-800 as the power is roughly equal. They are compatible fully with that set up as off camera flashes. Don't always go off, but they are feature rich enough to get the job done for me.I'd say they are a better value than Nikon's flashes for the money for sure. Don't have the latest tech in the SB5000, but that is to be expected. I'd suggest them honestly, just be sure that they are positioned in a way that if you use them off camera that they actually trigger.

Good Value

Fantastic product for the money. Adding to my other speedlites and a yongnuo speedlite that is about 12 years old and still works perfectly. Using specifically for TTL at events. Looking forward to many years of service from YN568EX

Brilliant Speedlite at an Economical Price

It was shipped very quickly and works just fine. I can recommend it!

Very good item

I am a Professional Photographer . Do not use this Flash. It is JUNK. Buy a Metz. You will not go wrong.

Yongnuo YN 568EX 1 Flash

This flash unit is extremely well-built, and rivals the expensive Nikon flashes. Highly recommended.

Great alternative to high-priced Nikon flashes

Great for the money but not durable. My hotshoe mount came off while taking pictures for an event

I got the flash speedlite as promised and only used it one time. It work just fine and had no problems of using it. Good flash to have.

Hobbyist

I would easily give this flash 5 stars.  However, 1 - I don't know how it is going to hold up ( how durable it is) and 2 - it does not work in TTL mode on my Nikon D2x.  I have to use it in manual mode, which is not a problem.  It just isn't what I thought I was getting.
I use 2 of these as slaves and they do very well.  I will buy them again and I would recommend them, just with an explanation that you need to be sure it will TTL on your specific Nikon camera.

Love It - But

After a lot of research, I chose this flash because of i-ttl compatability, flash power and price. It worksgreat, either as a slave or on top of my old D80. Amazing how the price has decreased and the power/quality has increased.

Does its job as should when an increase in shutter speed is needed. I am able to shoot al speeds of up to 1/8000 of a second using the flash, for birding and portraits.
Not giving a complete 5 due to the lack of light power needed for a perfect exposure. Yongnu must upgrade to a higher amount of light coming from the flash; if they do this would be a total winner for its price.

Does its job as should

It's exactly what I was looking for. A low cost flash with high speed sync.

Great Little Flash

This external flash is amazing!! Highly recommended!

Absolutely love it

Used it last weekend. I had bought 2. Their functionality is slightly inconsistent seeing that I have the same exact ones, but one wouldn't go to a menu that the other would. Other than that, recycle time is as expected. Instructions are horrible, so don't expect too much help there. 

Overall a good cheap alternative to the brand ones.

568 is an excellent little flash.  I have used it several times for indoor functions and have never had a failure.  Using it fast and furious can warm up the batteries, but the flash just keeps going.  I have also combined it with the YN622N trigger.  Works perfectly in that environment too.

Bought 2 of these speed lights.  Been using them for a couple weeks and have been pleased so far.  Good tool for the money!

Does the job

Yongnuo offers unmatched value.  This is my eighth Yongnuo flash and all have worked perfectly.
Similar in output to their manual YN 560 IV and ttl Yn 565 but with HSS added.  There is enough output to work with the Neewer 32 inch or 47 inch octoboxes.  However, to utilize HSS off camera, as in an octobox/softbox their YN 622 trigger/receiver units are required.  Highly recommended way to achieve the wide aperture look outdoors without spending much more on B2's or Flashpoint 600.

GREAT FLASH WITH TTL & HSS

New product so I have not had the opportunity to use - to date 
Expect to get a good work out in 2017 with my Nikon D5500 camera - shooting with a 24-140mm lens.

New Product Haven't used...

This one is really a good buy in that price range.
Other lenses compare to this are more expensive.

It's a good lens in that price range

If you have never used an iTT flash then this could be a challenge.  The instructions LACKED.  Very poorly written.  The flash seems to work ok.  Haven't had the opportunity to use it very much yet.

The flash seems to work ok. Haven't had the opportunity to use it very much yet

needed a flash with ports, otherwise this is sufficient

Great buy for the price

I have been using this flash for the past few weeks and have been pleased. It isn't a high end flash but for what its worth, it gets the job done! 
An easy flash to use and trouble shooting isn't hard as there are a lot of individuals out there that you can ask help with. 

Im not sure if it was just me and user error or if the compatibility was off but I was unable to use this flash with certain transmitters and//or sync cords. 

Overall I am happy.

Solid Flash

This unit works perfectly on mu Nikon D610  I use it both on ans off-camera with D610 in control.

Great Flash

good working flash ,Will recommend to all.

yery good product works great.

bought my first yongnuo from and it kind off stopped working mid wedding shoot, i was so embarrassed because it kept flashing in full power but it didn't synchronize with my d750 again. i had to get my assistant to hold up a continuous light till i finished the wedding.
and yet again i was dumb to buy another from this store and same thing happened while shooting another wedding.
i am so done with this flash.
my advice, it is not good for event or wedding photography . you will be embarrassed.

dissapointed

This is my second YN-568 and I love them both.  They do what their supposed to do.  They also work great as manual flashes on or off camera.  Combined with TN-622N RX and TX their even better.  For the price you can' beat them.

Great TTL flash

I have not bought a camera flash since back in the days of my old Nikon N2020 film camera, but boy has this come a long way since then!  I am very impressed with all the features on this flash gun and it looks to be very solidly made.  I have used this for a month or so, and it really does well on my D7100.
Very happy.

Very impressed!

I would recommend this product to anyone wanting quality workmanship in a flash.  This unit was recommended on a photo website.  I took the plunge and am very happy with it.  The features meet and match the more expensive units.  Showed it to a friend who used to work for a studio and she was impressed too.  I will replace my other more expensive units with this model when needed.

You won't be sorry.

I have 4 yongnuo flash units they all work great.  I also use their ttl triggers which work good on several Nikon Models... check for your model though... some are not compatible withthe triggers.  Use the YN622N Controller with the triggers and it works good.  Anyway the quality and reliability of these flash units are great.  Only down side to this model here (YN-568EX) is no Nikon CLS commander function as the master flash... and no external battery connection.  Other than these two shortcomings... this flash is golden.

Great ttl flash

Excellent service, worked really fast everything I need I get quickly without any problems. Great store full recommendation .

Great

Was blowing through batteries in less than 30 shots not sure why but know it was not correct
