Top Rated Gear: Used Yongnuo YN560-IV Speedlite undefined

This speedlight from Yongnuo puts all the control and power you need right in front of you with a built-in wireless trigger system, allowing you to use it as both a flash unit and as a flash control transmitter for additional flash or strobe units. This functionality makes it a great addition to your gear lineup, whether you're a beginner who wants to explore the world of off-camera flash photography or a seasoned pro who needs the versatility and control that this speedlight can offer.  A push-button control interface makes it easy to operate the unit by feel, with fully-manual zoom and exposure control as well as the ability to set custom functions that save automatically for your next session. The base of the flash allows for -7 to +90-degree bounce angles and a 270-degree swivel range, and for all the full-frame flash you need at wide angles, you'll have 18-105mm coverage.  For connectivity, you can utilize a built-in PC Sync port or the standard hot-shoe mount, and optical triggering is supported up to 80 feet away indoors or 50 feet outdoors. This flash has an approximate recycle time of 3 seconds at full power and runs on four AA batteries (or an optional battery pack).

Used Yongnuo YN560-IV Speedlite undefined

I bought this for my Sony A7iii and it works great. I use it in manual and it works well as an affordable and good quality flash for all my events.

Great affordable flash

I'm a huge fan of these flashes! They really are the best bang for the buck! I use these mostly as my off-camera flashes on light stands at receptions. Since they're very affordable, I don't have any concerns about one getting broken at a wedding and replacing it! I love their optical slave option and love that I have have my second shooters also use the OCF that I have set up. Love these Yongnuos!

Love these little flashes!

Came quick and as ordered. Top light. Top service look forward to future business

Top notch business

Very reliable flash unit, easy to use and set up.

Inexpensive solid performance

Love using these. Great for real estate photography. Easy to set up and can be very bright. I will probably buy it again

Great Flash!

It’s a great tool for the price.

For some reason everyone has problems with theirs, but mine has been amazing. Surviving from falling out of ceiling and me landing on it, constantly getting beat up, and really it keeps going and going.
Slave function was VERY inconsistent, but if you need a cheap throw away flash, look no further.

Unusually Durable?

My first speedlite. Works great. Amazing performance for its cost

Amazing performance

These work exceptionally well.  I purchased three of them and have used them both in studio and outdoors without any problems.  The recycle time however is a bit too slow for continuous shooting sports, even with an external battery pack.  An average of 2-3 shots in between flashes when shooting in continuous/burst mode, except when at 1/128.

I got off about 500+ shots with new batteries before they needed to be recharged and over 2000 with the external battery pack.

The higher the MaH of your batteries, the faster the recycle time, and recycle time is less than half of normal when used with an external battery pack, which is probably the same or better with AC adapter which I plan to order.

I love the multimode, and being able to control all my off camera flash from my camera via the YN560 TX is wonderful.

Great product well worth the money

Very easy to use. straight forward functions even a toddler can operate.

Great inexpensive flash unit!

This functioned fine, but it wasn't capable of what I needed. I wanted to not only fire it, but also control the power level remotely with my Godox system. The power control was not compatible with my Godox trigger so I returned it.

Worked, but not what I needed

This is the second YN560-IV for me and I highly recommend this flash if the features suit your purposes.  I only down-rated this unit due to interference with some camera bodies.

Pros:
- Build is on par or better than other speedlites
- Price point
- Built-in wireless receiver compatible with Yongnuo TX.  This includes control by YN560-TX.
- Ease of use
- Hot shoe is "cold" when using RF or IR wireless. (Not all speedlites shut off the juice.)

Cons:
- Optical receiver "bump" at lower front of flash may physically contact the prism housing on some dSLR bodies, specifically the Pentax K-3.  The degree of stress on the camera shoe and flash body is small, but enough to suggest that on-camera use with some bodies may not be recommended.
- Yes, the provided instructions suck

Notes:
- As with many (most? all?) speedlites the hot shoe contact remains "hot" even when sync is via the PC fitting.  Care should be taken to avoid shorting the flash by mounting to a conductive cold shoe when using PC sync.

Performance + Value

Great

These are about the best third party speed light you can get. With a built in wireless receiver, they are a real value. Just get the adjustable transmitter and you have a great combination

Best third party flash

A lot of photogs like to have features like TTL  and high speed sync when they use ON CAMERA flash. This flash doesn't not have those features BUT makes a great OFF CAMERA flash.  I use 3 of these when I do on location headshots.  I set the main light at one half power; fill light half power (but farther away) and hair light at quarter power.

Great for use as an off camera flash

You can't beat the price.  I use this with 3 other Yongnuo's all w/ the remote trigger and it's extremely convenient and cost effective.  Be patient with the flashes and always take an extra  second or event third shot.  3-stars because power output can be inconsistent.  i've done shoots which required 50 headshots and across the shots you'll eventually see the inconsistencies.

can't beat the price

I'm a pro full natural light photographer, and recently realized that there are a couple situations that I shoot in that could use a flash. I wanted to find a quality flash that was not expensive because I would use it only rarely. I settled on this one after a good bit of research and I am very happy with my choice! Outside of the fact that it only operates manually (which I prefer, actually, and discovered it's very easy to learn!) it is a great flash for someone that has no experience with them. I'd definitely recommend this - it gets the job done!

Awesome Flash!

CANT BE BEAT FOR THE MONEY...  

Es rápido, buena duración y poco consumo de baterias

muy bueno

Great speed light for the price! I'll never buy brand name again! 

Amazing!

Excellent flash and very easy to setup and link to additional flashes. Easy adjustments and simple instructions.

Yongnuo YN560 IV Flash Speedlight

Very good bang for the buck!

Purchased 2 of these along with the transmitter. Works as advertised for a whole lot less then oem!

yongnuo yn560-iv

I replaced a Nikon speedlight that got damaged with battery leakage... I was looking for an inexpensive replacement that would work for the time i needed better flash than the built in unit... This flash was highly recommended by others so I took a chance and was happy I did, much bigger than the unit i replaced but more light and better features at a lot less than the Nikon model.. Happy camper!!!

Great Light/F;ash for the money

Works great, set up easily.  Love yongnuo products...hate instruction manuals.  Have to go to utube for instructions.  Really suck!!!

works great

The YN560 IV is a great value for photographers who want the flexibility of an off-camera flash. While you can use this flash on camera or as an optical slave, I would recommend picking up the YN560-TX as well. This will remote triggering of the flash(es). I will be ordering one soon.

Great value

Cheap (price), lots of flexibility to adjust the power, the built in trigger is great

Great flash

Among the best and hard to break.  I drop flashes a lot and the Yongnuo's keep working.  A real work horse.

Very reliable

Great speed light for portability. Not as fast recycle as major/original brands but worth the cost savings for a few extra seconds. 

Great cost saver

It doesn't have TTL or HSS but it has, just about, everything else. If you are shooting TTL on your main light you can put the Yongnuo YN560-IV Speedlites on S2 and they won't react to the initial TTL light. THey are inexpensive and built like little trucks. Plenty of power too. I use the very reasonably priced YN560-TX 2.4 gh trigger and have never had a misfire. I have Flashpoint 360s and a Rovelight 600 so if when the YN560-TX is off the camera so I can use TTL I just keep it in my pocket to quickly adjust however many 560-IVs that I'm using. I smile every time I set them up when I think of how much money they have saved me.
