Quite a few months ago I purchased a YongNuo Speedlite YN460-II Flash, so I thought it was time I wrote a review of it. The two main things to note about this flash is that it is very cheap compared to the majority of flash units, and secondly that it does not support TTL. It is a manual power only flash. For me, manual power is fine.
How good is the Nikon yn460-ii stand?
The YN460-II’s stand isn’t quite as good as the AS-19 stand that ships with the SB-800. The Nikon stand features 3 shoe positions, while the YongNuo stand only has 1 shoe. The Nikon stand has a metal screw socket on the bottom, while the YongNuo’s is only plastic.
What is the difference between the SB-800 and the yn460-ii?
Similar to the SB-800, the YN460-II comes packed with a soft cloth bag and a small diffuser that clips onto the end of the flash. The diffuser is virtually identical to the SW-10H diffuser that ships with the SB-800.
How do I mount the Nikon yn460-ii on a tripod?
A 1/4 inch thread is located on the bottom of the base to allow screwing the stand onto a tripod that uses a 1/4″ screw. The YN460-II’s stand isn’t quite as good as the AS-19 stand that ships with the SB-800. The Nikon stand features 3 shoe positions, while the YongNuo stand only has 1 shoe.
Is the Yongnuo yn600ex-rt II the best flash for everyday use?
The Yongnuo YN600EX-RT II has all the features of the Canon and produces some quality light power. It becomes a different story if you’re considering a flash unit to be used on a very regular basis. If you need a flash unit to take the knocks of everyday use, then the Canon is the best option.
How does the Yongnuo yn600ex-rt II compare to the canon 600ex- RT II?
At first glance, the Yongnuo YN600EX-RT II almost looks like a carbon copy of the Canon. Same button layout, same swivelly flash head, just with one or two minor details of difference here and there. The Yongnuo can be used as a master or slave unit and supports wireless flash shooting to trigger other YN600EX-RT II’s or Canon 600EX-RT II.
