Yongnuo YN600EX-RTII Speedlite Flash for Canon Cameras

These are great. I have two of them. They are so similar to the much more expensive canon version and are almost just as good. It’s tiny differences for so much less money.

I was only able to use my YN600EX-RT for one wedding before it quit working. I would save for a cannon RT flash. Don’t waste 100 bucks on it.

I love the similarities to the Canon. It’s a great flash and does what it’s supposed to. The only drawback back is the build, but then again for $ bucks it’s what you would expect.

I just got 3 of these, more or less to try them out before deciding to officially jump to the higher price Canon "equivalents", or vastly superior products in all actuality, upon trying these out. I had owned 3 of the original Canon 600 EX-RT's and have had them for about 5 years. They have taken a beating and survived, they are solid and still living, but are at the point to where they themselves are starting to burn out and require maintenance. Now, come the Yongnuo's... What can I say? They worked ok, for about half of the first event I took them out to shoot with, the day I got them. Thankfully not a wedding. At about that time, one of them, the one on camera to be precise, decided it didn't want to let me turn it on in the group functions anymore. It had a prompt choice to be turned on, but it wouldn't go no matter what I did. I did everything I could think of to get it to turn back on. I found a workaround, but nothing that fully remedied it's initial problem. This is enough to make the reliability of this product a break for me. If within one shoot a single flash's functionality fails, it's not even worth the price put on it. I'm not going to risk the failure of the others in a short period if I decide to keep them. Plus, they aren't very quick and radio connection is more spotty than the first Canon 600ex-rt's. These things need a lot more work before they're taken seriously. Yongnuo is just a money suck company with products that shouldn't have even been put on the market to begin with. The IR beam is also a joke, just like all other models of hot shoe flashes. It's a small circle, barely big enough for the center 9 AF points. I'm returning these right away to eat another 1100 for the Canon upgrade. I'm both sad and glad that these disappointed so quickly. Canon here I come!

Haven't really had a chance to use it other than just short spurts of taking pictures so far so good haven't had any problems I'm looking at buying another unit plus the trigger

For someone that goes through flashes like candy, this is a great replacement for the main brand name speedlight. Does the same job, but you can buy several synced usints for the price of one brand name. Especially great for us who work with high-speed flash photography (freezing water drop collisions etc) that requires synced units preferably out of the same batch.

Great flash and a great value. My only thing is I wish the display was a bit brighter. Can't beat the price!

These are great strobes and I would have 5 of them if I would stop dropping them. It's a good reason to have extras. I also have the yongnuo wireless transmitter. Never had a single problem.

Don't let the price deceive you. This flash is pretty much an exact replica of the canon version, which is like 4 times the price. I'm a wedding photographer and rely heavily on my lighting equipment, yongnuo products are awesome and get the job done.

It’s my 3d Yongnuo YN600EX RTll Soeedlight flash I brought from Adorama this year. Performance is comfortable with Expensive Canon Flash and one can appreciate great price point. One can build whole studio with these versatile flashes

I had been reluctant to replace my old Canon 430 EZ to a model that was designed to work with my Canon 80D due to cost. The 430 EZ was for an older film camera. I mostly use available light, or continuous light sources when I do studio work. I rarely use flash, but do like to have it available when needed. I have only had this a few weeks and not used it much, but it seems to do all that is advertised. It recycles very fast and so far I have not had the overheating problem others described. A good value.

Met all my expectations and more. Can't beat the price

Cost-effective alternative to the Canon's 600EX speedlight. Using it with a Canon 5D MKII. This is my second Yongnuo Speedlight, I’m happy with the product and quality.

This unit is NOT compatible with Flashpoint R-2,triggers for canon. The device worked well outside that one parameter.

Nice build quality and performance. Way better than expected for a reasonable price!

This flash is a really good flash and comparable to what Canon provides. The only thing that I do not care for is the focus beam, but you can easily turn that off. Other than that, it is user friendly and easy to use.

Don’t buy these flashes, they overheat. When you take the batteries out to cool it down you can’t even hold the batteries.

This flash is used along with another one just like it. It works great for indoor and outdoor lighting when natural light is not available. The price is excellent for the product.

I use this as my 4th speedlite along with 3 Canon 600EX-RT speedlites. It was fully compatible. I had no problems at all. The build quality is not as good as Canon, but at the price, it's a very good value.

Purchased this as an alternative to Canon due to the high cost of the Canon version. It works flawlessly and is very well made. Very pleasantly surprised with this product. Better than I expected. Highly recommend, I will be purchasing more of them.

Everything seems to be in great working order! Recharge is super fast and does exactly what I need it to.

I've used this brand for a few years now and they work great! And with them being so affordable I have many of them. Great buy!

Flash works good thus far but instructions are hard to follow.

Excellent product, especially for the price. They work good and the build is really solid.

These are good, BUT they get hot. I had to watch Canon 600RTII tutorials to learn how to use them. I shoot many Weddings and Events. They work well, just make sure you take 2 or 3 and switch them out. They are much less expensive than the Canon, but if shooting a lot at one time is critical to you. Skip these. I'd go with Flashpoints, and combine them with the Evolve System, etc.

I am very new to Photography, Initially bought something(Alutra) else in Amazon for a cheaper price but it had problems right out of the box. But this one is looks very strongly build. So far not used much but looks fine in whatever I used.

I do not own the the Canon version so I can't compare the power output, but, I can say all the Canon features work as advertised with my 6D. I can say I am very happy with the money I saved!
