Rated 5 out of 5

Nearly the Perfect Speedlite

A clone of the Godox lithium speedlite within the canon speedlite ecosystem (and actually even better recycle time than the godox version, if you look up the youtube side-by-side)? It's truly an amazing flash, and as my canon 600's die out, I slowly replace with these. I'm honestly not sure why YongNuo doesn't market it more. The only small gripe I have, is that the hotshoe connector clamps down, but does not lock in place, which is a bit annoying. Truly the only flaw I can think of though. Awesome flash
