Questions & Answers

Sabreia V : Will this flash be compatible and sync with my Yongnuo 560-II? and will a cactus V6 transceiver work with this?RENNY L : Yes it will sync with your 560-ii. As for the transceiver, technically it should work but they are not the same brand so there is no guarantee. But any hotshoe trigger should fire this with ease.
VANESSA L : Yongnuo YN-568EX II 4-Channel TTL Flash. Does this flash has a remote control device, transmitter, transceiver? Which ones?Sreenivasula S : No, this flash does not have a remote control device/transmitterROBERT F : Hello. This device can function as a optical master or a slave depending on your shooting situation. For instance, I can mount the Yn568 on my camera as a master, and mount my canon 430 to a light stand (with the optical receiver facing me within clear line of sight of my 568). After a few simple settings changes When i take a photo the 568 (optically/visuall communicating with the 430, triggers the flash. Works really well with a clear view and no other cameras flashing. There are no additional transmitters, receivers etc needed, just a little bit of trial and error and it works great.NATALIA M : it does not come with a remote control. Just the flash and an instruction book and a bag that protects the flash... you can use a remote you just need to purchase it separately .... trying to decide which one to buy currentlyKEVIN K : Not sure I understand the question entirely, but in some cases you can use this flash as the trigger (transmitter) or use it in slave mode. Or use two flashes in master/slave modes. Or use 622 triggers for various combinations. Look on YouTube and I'll bet you can find the exact application and setup you seek. Good luck.
Shopper : What trigger will I need for OCF?Pierre M : Hi, I don't have use intensively since I get it. There is an user manual online that give that kind of explanation.RENNY L : almost any set of triggers will work for OCF with this. Do you want ocf as ettl? if not then yungnuo, godex, pocket wizards will all work with these.

Overheated within an hour of use.

I purchased this flash to take picture of my cousins wedding. Within 45 min of shooting the overheated warning light came on and never left. It is made in china and apparently when I looked online at other peoples issues, I guess this is not uncommon with this flash. I tried everything I could to correct the issue but to no avail. The wedding was inside so picture came out grainy and washed out as there was not wnough light from the pop up flash on the camera. It was a sickening feeling. I returned this flash and am saving my money for the real deal! Canon 600. It may cost 400.00 but at least it won't overheat as I have heard wonderful reviews about it.

Good flash for the price. I use it with my canon 6d and it does the job.

Very good flash!

I own three of these flashes for off camera flash. One flash is three years old and still works like new.

Good Flash at the Right Piice

I think this flash is an excellent value. I haven't owned mine long enough yet to comment on the durability and reliability issues mentioned by some of the negative reviewers, but I've had no complaints so far. All I can say is that I can buy 5 of these for the same price as the Canon Speedlight it emulates. I've been rather limited in my use of a general external flash. I do a lot of macro photography. For that I use a Yongnuo ring flash I purchased last year. The interface on it is very similar to the 568EX. My ring flash been a reliable performer for thousands of flashes, so I'm hoping for the same with my new one as well. Exposures have been fairly consistent in both ETTL and manual modes. Recycle time is under 3 seconds, usually even faster, if full power isn't used.. The benefit of being able to bounce and diffuse your flash can't be overstated. Bounce vs. direct flash is like night and day (pun intended). I only wish I'd figured this out long ago. I recommend it.

What else can I say...

BY the time I purchased the Yongnuo YN-568 EXII, it already had a stellar reputation as an alternative to a pricier Canon rig. I bought this as a supplement to the two Yongnuo 565EXs I already have. I purchased the YN-EXII because of the wireless capabilities as well as the fact that it retains the supplemental battery port.

Excellent Value, Compatibility, and Functionality

This is my second 568. I'm experimenting with off camera flash using the wireless (optical) capabilities and it works just great with my previous 568 (1 year old) and Canon 430EXII (slaved). It takes 4 each AA batteries and that does me for about 2-3 hours of pretty continuous ETTL shooting (proms/graduations between 170-250 exposures). It gets warm, but has yet to shutdown/overheat. I also use it with and ETTL extension cord and frame which has virtually eliminated subject red eye. It feels sturdy (as much as a flash possibly could) and has a nice case. You CAN control all the settings from the back of my 70D and 7DMKII. Why 5 for 5, because so, far, its hasn't let me down. I normally shoot between 4-20 feet.
