Path-Tech reviews this new speed light from Yongnuo and also offers advice on purchasing direct from a Chinese website (thephotogadget.com). This new speed light is a terrific value for strobist work and offers more than enough lighting power and features to get the job done.

Happy to help, it really is a great speed light! Enjoy!

@PTPhotoGearReviews 11 лет назад

Hey, many thanks for connecting in. Will be buying another one myself. Cheers.

@PTPhotoGearReviews 11 лет назад

Yes, the AF assist beam was one of the functions that did work perfectly on these units from day one! Cheers.

@kthessen 11 лет назад

Great review. Will defiantly buy this when I get the money.

@PTPhotoGearReviews 11 лет назад

Happy to help! Cheers.

@derronedmond4175 9 лет назад

I'm using a nikon d3300 do i need the transmitters for it to work??. Because it's not the on camera flash keeps trying to pop up

@PTPhotoGearReviews 11 лет назад

Hi Jay, not that I know of but when you set the speedlight to your 603's just take notice to see if the dip switch settings match the settings on your triggers. On mine the 560 picked up the dip switch settings automatically.

@DrPinball 11 лет назад

Thank you for the information! I don't think TTL is always reliable and I always like to set my flashes to Manual, so this Yongnuo is perfect! Thanks again!

@finddavid7 11 лет назад

Hi do u know if this flash has a assist beam to focus on a subject in pitch black thank u

@kcanded 8 лет назад

I was looking for a tutorial that would show me how to use the light, not a tutorial that uses half the video talking about delivery, boxes, how the thing twists, and a lady named Grace. Please, a little more conciseness, get right to the info.

@aziz4777 11 лет назад

thank u for video plz optical control sensor yongnuo yn-560 ii doesnt working with me i use canon mark II any solution ?

@javad.hashemi 11 лет назад

Thanks for your help. In off-camera slave mode: 1) shouldn't I be able to set the flash settings from the camera menu? 2) Shouldn't the camera set the flash output automatically based on readings from the light meter ?

@PTPhotoGearReviews 11 лет назад

Are you referring to Canon or Nikon and if Nikon what settings. On my D200's in manual shooting mode and manual on the lcd my 560 III won't fire but does fire using the 603s. Many thanks for connecting.

@syaoran101 8 лет назад

im planning to buy one of this and i'm wondering if this flash would work on any wireless triggers or just the yongnuo rf 603/602 ???

@chrisjohansonphotography2629 10 лет назад

My left ear loved this video.

@jermaineparker1959 10 лет назад

LOL... I always have to pull the ear piece out just a tad to get the audio in both ears. Not sure the reason, but some videos are like that.

@javad.hashemi 11 лет назад

I thought so and I got the 560 EX. But I do not know how to check if the TTL works! when I put the flash on my 7D, none of the camera flash settings work. When I try to go to flash settings I receive the error not compatible flash connected or something like this. I was able to fire it manually both on and off camera tho. Do you know how I can test the TTL functionality?

@ChoicesHabitsAttitudeLuck 11 лет назад

can i control the output of the flash from my nikon d7100?

@auquai 7 лет назад

I recently bought the Canon 6D and the and the Yongnu 560 iii speedlite the one with "grp" written between "fn" and "ch" but the thing is, when i take a picture it doesn't flash. batteries are ok, when i press the "pilot" button, it flashes. what do i do wrong? maybe you can tell me? Thanks in advance, Philip Sajet

@maxster7750 11 лет назад

with this flash, can i mount it on my canon t2i and use it like a regular flash or it has to be used wirelessly and synced??

@gemlenz 10 лет назад

I have a Canon 430 ex ii and the Yongnuo 560 iii. I put the 430 in ETTL mode and the Yongnuo on S1 to get both to fire. They do not fire on S2 as the video says. Am I doing something wrong?

@jaymack9442 11 лет назад

I received mine. I can't get it to sing with my yongnuo 603 triggers. is there anything special I have to do other than making sure it's set to 603 and not 602

@arthursafarov1603 11 лет назад

Thanks man. I'm really appreciated for information.

@saiki001 10 лет назад

hi, today i got a new 560 III but my rf603 is not able to fire it yet. i'm using same channels,selected rf 603 in the flash and rx mode....but no result....except this it is firing in all other modes even with receivers......any idea..thanks in advance....

@DennisdeJong 11 лет назад

hello I have a friend with a canon 650d and this flash, so is it possible to put this flash on the camera in auto mode? or is this flash mainly build to be a manual slave?

@kippahkiller 11 лет назад

Is it hard to wirelessly connect the yn560 to the 603 wireless flash trigger?

@TheGoodContent37 11 лет назад

Thank you for the info! I thought because this YN flashes came with integrated radio transmitters they could be triggered by the 580 EX II. I'll check with the company, thank you again! :)

@elbanbu 9 лет назад

can you help me with my problem with this flash. I got it stocked for almost two months and when i opened it. its already unresponsive. only the "FN" and "CH" button are responsive but you can't modify it.

@vrizwan 11 лет назад

Im getting this for my pentax k30 , awsome reveiw

@adamconlan01 11 лет назад

Will it work as a mounted flash on a canon t3i/600d? Can't find info saying it will work from the camera wireless.

@gurudeclan 11 лет назад

Can the power output on the YN560-III be controlled from the camera, when using a 622c as transmitter?

@user-oy3ql4nr7z 5 месяцев назад

good morning. My Yongnuo YN560IV flash is charging up well but not firing when shutter release fired. what could be the problem.

@DhasseLOL 11 лет назад

Is there any big difference between v1, v2 and v3 of this flash? Is it worth spending the extra money for the newest one? I am new to studio photography so I don't have a clue about flashes...

@Responder-9 10 лет назад

doesn't need to attached the flash to pocket wizard plus X..? since it does have RF built in?

@PTPhotoGearReviews 11 лет назад

Hi Bruno, the 560III works for both Nikon and Canon but to trigger the 560III we use Yongnuo RF-603 transceivers. So you mount one transceiver on the hotshoe and then the 560III's built in transceiver will pickup the signal fire. You can check out the video we did on this. The video shows firing sb600's but they'll fire the 560III for sure. Good Luck!

@TheGoodContent37 11 лет назад

Hi! Great video! One question, could the SPEEDLITE 580 EX II trigger this YN 560 III? 580 EX II been master and YN 560 III slave. Thanks!

@solo99o 11 лет назад

im a newbie at prof photog. does having a ttl flash really matter? thanx!

@skrotov 11 лет назад

Hello, thank you for review. Will it works with Yongnuo YN-622C YN 622C ? thank you

@PTPhotoGearReviews 11 лет назад

Hi Johannes, that's exactly right. The YN-560 III has the reciever built in so you only need one 603 on camera. Cheers.

@javad.hashemi 11 лет назад

Could you please help me choose between 560 III and 560 EX. They are in the same price range (70-90). Thanks

@DrigitaRygen 10 лет назад

can you do a review or comparison between this YongNuo 560 EX III and YongNuo 568EX (Canon mount)? thanks.

@PTPhotoGearReviews 11 лет назад

That's great. They really are great value when you compare the prices of OEM speedlites. Cheers

@mark_takbong_pogi 11 лет назад

Hi, can i ask, will this works on on-camera also or it's only for off camera use.

@arthursafarov1603 11 лет назад

Thanks for your video sir. Does it work with CowboyStudio NPT-04 4 Channel Wireless?

@JohannesTeichert 11 лет назад

it needs just one YN-602 or YN-603 on the camera, am i right? Because it says on amazon, that it has a wireless trigger built in, right?

@zsombee11 11 лет назад

Hi! Thanks for the info. I just ordered 3 of these babies from the site you mentioned. I'd like to use them ON camera casually, and I haven't found any information about AF ASSIST BEAM. Does it have one? Thanks Again. Cheers.

@markandrach 10 лет назад

i got one of these for 40 quid from amazon.best value for money for photos.the quality of your pics will change instantly.i have it on canon 60d.get one bought

@anotherguy004 11 лет назад

is this speedlight compatible with the transcivers yn622c?

@PTPhotoGearReviews 11 лет назад

The really cool thing with the 603's is that they come with a shutter release cable that you can plug into your camera and use another 603 to fire your camera remotely, like when you're doing self portraits.

@brunoclyde34 11 лет назад

Hello.... Do you know what is the difference between YN-560II and YN-560III ??? ... and if the YN-560EX is better? Good video, thanks.

@petenicezz 10 лет назад

When using the focus point during a dark situation the laser bean built in the the speedlight beams out and points to the subject, just like the focus point, in order to get a correct focus shoot. Which I understand. Now when I'm using the wireless trigger during dark situation the laser bean built in the speedlight beams out not toward the subject only the focus point. I still do get a correct focus shot but want to know why it does that when using wireless triggers.

@brunoclyde34 11 лет назад

Hi... the 560III works for both Nikon and for Canon right?... Some sellers advertised for Nikon and for Canon separately, i don't know why. thanks

@AzarSarif 11 лет назад

How do i set to rapid flash for single shot photograph??

@mattdiamond3653 10 лет назад

I just received this product in the mail for use with my Nikon D3100. Why is it not triggering my my camera?! Is there a certain setting I should have it in for it to work normally? I have been using a Metz 50AF-1 and have never had this problem before.

@antonio70 11 лет назад

Hi, this is a great review! Can this flash be compatible with my Canon 60D?

@PTPhotoGearReviews 11 лет назад

YN-560 III is the best choice in my humble opinion as it has the radio trigger built in. You will need to purchase a set of 603's triggers to fire the 560 but in the long run I think you'll find it's well worth it. Good luck!

@samsquanchoverland 11 лет назад

i also have studio strobes and studio strobes with battery packs ...but these for speed lights are my go to lights when i do senior portraits outside when im shooting alone ,i also use there wireless triggers i got for 35$ a pair/2 pairs plus my pocket wizards..had a bit of trouble with the little triggers near a radio station ,thats why i had to get wizards ,i was working in a model agency in Montreal so i had no choice

@maxster7750 11 лет назад

SO IF I WANT SOMETHING TO USE AS A REGULAR FLASH, THE BETTER CHOICE WOULD BE THE YN-506 II??

@PTPhotoGearReviews 11 лет назад

Again, the best advice I can give you is the YN-560III for the reasons I mentioned but if you are more comfortable with TTL then stick with the 560ex and experiment with it. If you find it works for you, then it's all good. Photography is like anything else, it requires a certain amount of trial and error. What ever you decide, make sure to have some fun with it.

@quasinada 9 лет назад

Hi, could you help me with an issue? I am using one YN560-TX Flash Transmitter and two YN-560 III , when i sync the two flashes with the transmitter, one of the flashes doesnt enable the controls, just fires with the others. Functions like group change and output amount arent controllable by the transmitter. Am I doing something wrong?

@PTPhotoGearReviews 9 лет назад

The 560tx uses groups and channels. It sounds like you have both 560's on the same group and same channel. Put one 560 on group a and the other on group b. That should solve your problem.

@spencerlegebokoff6556 11 лет назад

Will this work with a Cactus V4 flash triggers?

@alexxxkiller713 10 лет назад

will work that on canon eos 600d??

@samsquanchoverland 11 лет назад

wow...that sucks ...been using mine tons and no probs yet !did you use them at full power all the time ...i use mine at about 1/4 most of the time or 1/8

@PTPhotoGearReviews 11 лет назад

You can not control the 560III from the menu system on your camera if that's what you mean. You have to change the power output manually on the back of the speedlite even if the speedlite is mounted on your camera. Hope that helps.

@petslife-rafi 7 лет назад

Hi dude, Is it compatible for canon 1200d

@HimaSadu 11 лет назад

Will it work as a mounted flash on a Nikon D5200 ?

@karlayazuri8343 9 лет назад

do you know how can I trigger the yn560 iii and the yn560 ii together with one camera body (obviously) and one cowboy trigger?

@PTPhotoGearReviews 9 лет назад

Hi Karla, not sure what you mean by "cowboy trigger?"

@PTPhotoGearReviews 11 лет назад

The yn 560EX is a TTL (optical) remote slave flash with a manual mode only when placed on the hot shoe. That means as you have discovered it will fire in manual mode only from the hotshoe but the only way it works in TTL is when it's off the camera as a slave unit. Optically triggered ttl means it fires when it sees the signal from your main flash on the camera. Hope that helps.

@KevKevAllen 11 лет назад

Hypothetically: If I have 4 YN560III's set up, (one on my hotshoe, three setup around my subject) can I use the YN560III on my hotshoe as a trigger to the other three? I know I can use the three as optical slaves, but I'd prefer a true wireless sync not an optical sync.

@reubendunn1 11 лет назад

Will this unit use rechargeable batteries or Latham batteries?

@phuongdhftu 11 лет назад

Does it has af assist beam???

@PTPhotoGearReviews 11 лет назад

For those interested, the RX -- mode on the YN-560III is used when multiple speed lights are being used but you wish to stop one from firing without turning the speed light completely off. Simply hit the mode button and switch to the " -- " mode and that speed light won't fire. Hope this helps!

@mariannmv 9 лет назад

Yongnuo YN I bought unblit III-560 Speedlite and do not work on nikonD3100, why?

@dandingo13 11 лет назад

I bought both a 560 III and 622C's and could not get them to work. Ended up returning the 622's and got some 603's. Really weird!

@schneeg 11 лет назад

yes it will work with the 560 III has a radio reciver build in so I would go with that insted of the cowboy studio NTP04

@DujdaowDiannaK 11 лет назад

did you get it free shipping?

@Utroll 11 лет назад

Do they ? I thought that was on other serie than 560, is that new on 560 v3 ? thanks for your review.. I own 2 YN560 v2 and I'm HAPPY, I would like a couple more :)

@albertocabrera6614 11 лет назад

I already bought two lumopro lp180 flashes. Twice as much but a huge difference in quality and performance. Now am getting the Phottix Mitros TTL Flash. It's better then the neewer version and cheaper. Then again, I'll see in two weeks if it goes bad on me. LOL

@PTPhotoGearReviews 11 лет назад

We're using the 560III which is an all manual slave on a Nikon D200 so you have to have a 603 trigger to send the signal to the 560III to fire it. Without that she won't fire. Cheers

@PTPhotoGearReviews 11 лет назад

Yes, absolutely!

@PTPhotoGearReviews 11 лет назад

In my humble opinion whether you shoot ttl or manual the most important thing is to get your flash off the camera. This will give you the best and most creative results. Manual is cheaper to start but if you don't want to worry about settings then go ttl and the camera will do the work for you. Hope that helps.

@igetsmart 11 лет назад

The NPT--4 trigger will work fine - I love the NPT-4 as the transmitter is so small and low - I use it a lot on my mirror less cameras NEX7, Olympus OMD-5, Fuji X100s, Fuji X20,Sony HX50v, Sony NEX5n and Lumix GX1. I have also quite a few flashes including the yn-560 ii and iii - and it triggers everything fine

@reneeetyves5691 9 лет назад

Hi, I just watch your review and I would like to know some little things, I've already a Nikon D5100 with a Nikon TTL SB700, but I'm looking to buy two more flash for my own little studio, I have a DEBAO SB-800 wich is compatible with Yongnuo flash, so do you thing is should work?

@PTPhotoGearReviews 9 лет назад

I've never used the Debao so I really can't say. I would try to find a review that shows the debao working with yongnuo speed lights so you know for sure. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

@Forahd 10 лет назад

I just bought this flash and do not know what I need to do in order to get it synced. The camera I have is a Nikon D5200. Will someone please inform me on what additional gear I need or steps I need to take to get the two working together?

@mastertweeker 10 лет назад

Hi did you manage ta get this flash to work on your D5200 please as I am thinking about buying one and I have a D5200 as well. Thanks

@PTPhotoGearReviews 11 лет назад

HI again Bruno. I confirmed that the 560 ex doesn't have a radio trigger built in so if you do more studio work in TTL then the 560ex is fine but if you venture out doors more, I would go for the 560III. Also the 560ex can be triggered by RF-603's or 602's but there's no ttl pass through. Cheers.

@amir1106 11 лет назад

what about high speed sync ... on Nikon?

@jaymack9442 11 лет назад

I went through all 16 channels and nothing. and I have 4 different triggers. none worked. This is the 2nd one I purchased from amazon. The 1st didn't sync either. Sol I don't know what the problem is. I may send this one back as well and go with the 565 ex

@PTPhotoGearReviews 11 лет назад

It could only trigger it by the S1 & S2 modes which is to say that when the 580 exii fires the infrared sensor on the 560III will see it and fire, provided the 560III is set to s1 or s2 mode, otherwise no but check with YN to be totally sure as I don't own a 580 exII. Cheers

@DennisdeJong 11 лет назад

as I feared, I looked up manual flash already but I think its going to be trial and error anyway. Thank you for your reply.

@jaytube227 10 лет назад

But placed on the camera body it will of course do TTL correct?

@paulphillips5128 10 лет назад

Absolutely not, this is a manual flash only my friend. It does not do TTL at all.

@jaymack9442 11 лет назад

7D is a cannon correct? Are you sure you have the right model for your camera. being that the 560 is an older model. i'm not sure how it works. The 565, I just place it on top of my camera, turn it on, then the camera and it works

@syafiqzailan 11 лет назад

does a single rf03 can triger multiple yn560_3? this is awesome! canon is too pricy.

@PTPhotoGearReviews 11 лет назад

I got these numbers for the 560 so the 560III might be a little quicker. full power 1/1 = 1/313, 1/2 = 1/1359, 1/4 = 1/2809, 1/8 = 1/4950, 1/16 = 1/8065, 1/32 =1/12626, 1/64 = 1/18248, 1/128 = 1/23041 I'll put the link where I got these specs in the video description. Hope that helps!

@PTPhotoGearReviews 11 лет назад

Basically, you set your camera and master on-cam flash to TTL and the camera/meter will do the rest. The TTL slave simply copies whatever the master does. You may be able to vary the output of the 560ex in ttl mode, I don't know as I don't have that flash. Keep in mind because your slave is triggered by infrared if you try it outdoors it may not work due to the signal getting interrupted by sunlight etc. Works best in doors/studio for sure. Hang in there, it gets easier.

@PTPhotoGearReviews 11 лет назад

The YN-560III will use rechargables like the ENELOOPS we use or standard Akalines like your basic Duracell AA's.

@gurudeclan 11 лет назад

You sound like Owen Wilson! Awesome!

@javad.hashemi 11 лет назад

Thank you for comment. But 560 III is not a TTL flash where 560 EX is. I have not used an external flash and this is going to be my first one. So, I do not exactly know how useful TTL feature is.

@StudioOfBugs 10 лет назад

nice review!

@andreablake100 10 лет назад

Many thanks for connecting in! Cheers.

@amandariocheski630 10 лет назад

Great share on this speedlight You can get the 560 3 on sale now I saw listed by photolt.com/YN560IIIProFlash for anyone looking for it. Great features

@NOKOT51 9 лет назад

when you triggered the light didn't fire only that little blue light stayed on, why is that?

@PTPhotoGearReviews 9 лет назад

The blue light is just a confirmation the trigger is talking to the speed light.

@PTPhotoGearReviews 11 лет назад

No, it's not designed for on camera use. It's designed to be triggered by a YN-602 or 603 radio trigger, however, it will also trigger from your camera's pop-up flash if it's in S1 or S2 mode which is essentially infrared triggering.

@PTPhotoGearReviews 11 лет назад

I'm not a canon shooter but as far as I know there are compatible. I think Blue Martini Photo has a video on youtube using a 560 if I'm not mistaken.
